Product details

Great shots happen in a fraction of a second. With a completely new approach to a fully manual mode, you can adjust the aperture and shutter speed as quickly as the world moves using the dial selection of the WB5000. With just a twist of your finger, white balance and color temperature can be finely tuned within a range of 3,000 K to 10,000 K for true-to-life, rich colors and artistic photos. Switch from autofocus to manual focus or AF. Or turn all the way to the right to the photos you want to showcase. This choice is not only smart, it’s brilliant. The WB5000 is designed to help you express your style better. With Samsung's converter programs, you can edit RAW files – files with the uncompressed and unprocessed original data – in any way you like. Typically, images are edited using camera settings and compressed into JPEG files. With RAW file support, you have complete control over everything. Whether it's color, exposure difference, or resolution – you can edit the images to your heart's content. Your most challenging shots have been made simple. The super-fast shutter speed of the WB5000 has a look at that. It helps you capture images of perfect moments even in low light conditions and with moving subjects – delivering sharp and masterfully focused photos. Don’t be afraid of the dark. Or of fast-moving objects! ISO 3200: 5 MP or less / ISO 6400: 3 MP or less.

...Trotz der mit zwölf Megapixeln nicht zu hohen Auflösung kämpft auch die WB5000 bereits ab ISO 200 mit sichtbarem Grießeln, das ab ISO 800 viele Details kostet....

Mit der WB5000 hat Samsung bereits die zweite Superzoom-Digitalkamera am Markt, die zwar in keiner Disziplin das Maximum stellt, sich hinter den Mitbewerbern aber nicht verstecken muss.

Die WB5000 ist Samsungs Bridge-Kamera-Comeback. Zwar hatte die Bildqualität ihre Mängel- vor allem hinsichtlich Auflösung und Bildrauschen. Die Ausstattung überzeugte uns jedoch.

Mit der WB5000 schafft Samsung ein erfolgreiches Comeback auf dem Gebiet der Bridge-Kameras. Zwar hatte die Bildqualität ihre Mängel - vor allem hinsichtlich Auflösung und Bildrauschen. Die Balance zwischen toller Ausstattung und guter Bildqualität gelingt Samsung bei der WB5000 aber deutlich besser als bei der Pro 815, deren Bildqualität bei damals rekordverdächtiger Ausstattung noch zu wünschen übrig ließ.
