The battleground for the point and click shooter is getting hotter, especially where big zoom compacts are concerned. Now Samsung is jostling for position with Panasonic with its 15x optical zoom WB600 being offered with a host of added features and a robust but solid build at a bargain basement price.
Key Features
* 15x optical zoom
* 24 - 360mm Lens
* 3inch LCD screen
* 12.2 Megapixel
* 720p video recording
Announced last year, Samsung's 12.2 effective megapixel WB600 charges into battle with Panasonic's TZ camera series, for one, by virtue of shoehorning a 15x optical zoom into its compact 30mm 'thick' chassis, an improvement on its predecessor the WB500's 10x. Like the competition it eschews mini DSLR/bridge camera styling by keeping the entirety of that long lens flush with the body when not in use, meaning it will still fit easily in an average pocket or handbag – the perfect travellers companion, it would seem.
