Editorial note

The Samsung WB5000 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to a 12.7 MP sensor and a maximum resolution of 4000 x 3000 pixels, allowing for precise capture of every detail. Its 24x optical zoom offers the ability to photograph distant subjects with remarkable clarity, while the built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos, even during dynamic shooting. The various scene modes, such as "Portrait," "Night," and "Sports," enhance the user experience by optimizing image capture according to environments. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The internal memory of only 20 MB proves insufficient, requiring the use of an external memory card to store numerous photos. Additionally, the lack of compatibility with Mac systems may limit access for some users. Weighing 398 g, the device may seem relatively heavy for a compact model, which can affect its portability. Finally, while manual focus offers precision, it can pose a challenge for novice users who prefer a more automated approach. In terms of performance, the Samsung WB5000 receives satisfactory ratings, particularly with solid battery life thanks to its 1130 mAh capacity. The modern and sleek design, while very attractive, is slightly offset by its weight. Overall, the value for money is acceptable, considering the varied features and image quality, but improvements could be made regarding internal memory and video resolution, which is limited to 1280 x 720 pixels.
