Remember the Essentials

Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.

Samsung's WB700 Digital Camera (Black) isn't just another high-resolution (14MP), long zoom compact digital camera--no, it's actually the very first 18x compact digital camera in the world, and that's not even the half of it.

The 24-432mm (35mm equivalent) lens gives you access to every focal length from a true ultra wide-angle to an extremely long telephoto, so you can capture virtually any kind of photo. You can also capture virtually any kind of movie, because the WB700 features full HD 1280 x 720 quality video. Dual IS image stabilization will keep your photos and videos shake-free, and there's even noise reduction for reducing noise from using the zoom function while shooting videos. There's a crisp, clear 3.0" LCD monitor for composing and playback. There's also full manual control for creative command over your images.

The WB700 is also packed with creative shooting modes for making your photos uniquely you: Smart Filter effects like Miniature, Vignetting, Soft Focus, and Fisheye,  Face Retouch for more flattering photos of friends and family, and Highlight, Brightness, Contrast and Saturation adjustment.

See Beyond the Horizon
The 24mm Ultra Wide 18x Zoom captures objects in a wider shooting range, so your vision is translated, just as you imagined it. Take photos of distant people and landscapes and the results are right before your eyes. The 24x Smart-Zoom (18x Optical Super-Zoom) renders all the details, sharp and rich. And the 7.62cm (3.0) TFT LCD screen offers a wider, crystal clear image with improved contrast and true-life color. You always get the best view possible. The Samsung WB700 fits everything you always wanted into the frame.
Get Full Control With Full Manual
Full Manual gives you the ability to take complete control and capture the photos exactly as you want them to be. Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority settings let you experiment with shutter speeds and depth of field, so you can shoot fast-moving images in low light. With Samsung cameras, your creativity counts most.
Say Goodbye to Shaky Shots With Dual IS
Don't risk ruining that once-in-a-lifetime memory because of a shaking hand or a camera that's not up to the job. The Dual IS (Image Stabilizer) feature automatically adjusts to compensate for even the slightest hand or body movements, resulting in steadier photos.What's more, the Dual IS can maximize the stabilizing area while minimizing shaking so you get crisp shots every time-even while you or the subject is on the move.
High Sensitivity ISO 3200
With a true ISO 3200 setting, your Samsung camera can effectively minimize noise for crystal clear images under low light conditions. Plus, ISO 3200 lets you take perfectly focused photos of fast-moving images, like during a sporting event.
When It Comes to Brightness, Itÿ¿ÿ¢ÿ¿ÿ¿ÿ¿ÿ¿s Brilliant: 7.62cm (3.0") Intelligent LCD
Its 7.62cm (3.0") Intelligent LCD provides for improved contrast and color reproduction, which allows you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. And its Intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts the LCD brightness for optimal image viewing. It does the thinking for you, which makes the WB700 a smart choice.
Make Your Own Movies
You get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second and recording time 4x longer than MJPEG video. SoundAlive, with special zoom noise reduction technology, gives you crystal-clear, vibrant sound recordings.
Shoot Like a Pro With Smart Auto 2.0
Smart Auto 2.0 (still and movie) analyzes key elements in the composition and automatically adjusts its 16 photo modes and 4 movie modes to capture the best shot.
Built in HDMI Type D With Anynet
Just one HDMI code is all it takes to connect your WB700 directly into your TV, computer or DVD player. With the WB700, making professional quality videos is just as easy as sharing them.
Smart Filter
Samsung camera's Smart Filter lens and color options make special moods easy for still shots and videos. Tilt & Shift Lens Effect adds a miniaturized look and the Vignetting Effect makes striking compositional contrasts. New special effects include Soft Focus to add an emotional feel, Half-Tone Dot to soften skin tones and Old-Film Effect to set up a retro mood or frame. Color Palette for movies, adds an ultra-vivid vibe. It's now a snap to get creative.

                Great pictures, adequate video, compact design make it a great camera that's easy to bring on vacation. I suggest you spend some time with the camera and the manual close bye as it has a ton of manual features, and a ton of automatic features. Just a great camera with a great zoom for the money.

                  Comments about Samsung WB700 Digital Camera (Black):

                  Let me say up front that I'm no professional photographer. I bought this camera because I wanted one that was small enough to carry in my pocket, yet powerful enough to make me think twice about replacing the SLR I lost in my divorce.The most important feature of this camera for me was definitely its lens. 24mm and 18x optical zoom (and the 3x digital zoom) meant a lot of flexibility. And with both optical and digital image stabilization, it's functional flexibility. As for its size, I'm already impressed at how frequently I now have a camera with me which is resulting in many more pictures of my two young kids.As you'd expect, the camera is packed full of features to help amateurs like myself. I've read about but not yet tried them all. But at this point, my big complaint would be that it's hard to remember which features are available in each shooting mode. And since the "idiot mode" doesn't always get it right, that's an issue. Nevertheless, I'm starting to get it all figured out and, as I do, I become more and more happy with the camera.The final thing I'll note here is that I'm very impressed with the video. Don't have a lot of experience in this regard but, to my uneducated eye, the video looks good and, most noticeably, the image stabilization works very well. Lest anyone be wondering, you can still hear the zooming in and out in the audio, but it's not overwhelming. No idea how it compares with other cameras in that regard.As indicated, I'd certainly recommend this camera to a friend. And for the [$] I paid for it, I'd happily purchase it again if I had the opportunity.
