Design
What is the most important point of compact digital cameras? It’s the design rather than function or resolution. Many people want slim body with great design. Samsung digital cameras have focused a lot on the design, and got a good evaluation from many users around the world. The WB1000 is also with the good design of 97x61x21mm of size and 160g of weight.
In design, from the WB500 to WB1000, they have similar design. This is called a family look, and selected from a large number of makers in a lot of field from car to camera. Like the phrase “We can see the company by the design”, the firm and strong image of the WB series can be engraved on lots of users.
There’s a part noticeable, and it’s a mini dashboard and smart dial. The mini dashboard was firstly shown from the NV9, and because of the good evaluation, it’s installed again on the WB1000. The smart dial allows users to set menu, iris, and shutter speed more quickly. However, the plastic tripod hole is a little unexpected.
World’s first 3 inch AMOLED hVGA
As a high end digital camera, it seems focused on the display much. For the first time as a digital camera, it has adopted the AMOLED and solved the weak points of the TFT-LCD such as afterimages and viewing angle. The inappropriate color on the earlier model looks arranged. And the high resolution for 3 inch size shows the smooth screen.
