WB1000 The second story

WB1000 The second story　

　Recently, I see people with DSLR a lot. It’s because of the price which becomes cheaper than before, and also people want the better quality picture.

　Compact digital camera so called a toy camera…The WB1000 is the high level compact digital camera called High-end digital camera, and the high means not only the price, but also the functions the camera has.

　Not as good as DSLR, but the quality is enough to appeal people used to DSLR.

　The second posting about the WB1000. (Exactly third)

　I don’t like much, but I need to introduce the package of the WB1000, or you will be disappointed.

　The package is not bad. Compared to Apple or Sony, it’s so simple. It could be better if there was a pouch.

　

It might mean using it with your own style like the iPod (I really don’t want this way.), but a bundle case should have been provided for people like me who satisfied with the included one. I hope there will be a basic pouch, even if it’s so simple. (Will be?)

The unique thing in the items is that the power cable can also be used as a data cable. In other words, it can be charged through the USB by connecting to a PC. (At home, of course it transfers data with charging.) For those who don’t like complicated cable or travel, this would be very good. (However, I’m telling again. For portability, the case should have been included as a high-end product.) Anyway, this is it.

　Just imagine the power adaptor. (Unkind Mr. Davin.)

　

The battery 3.8V 1,130mAh could take 350 pictures (Largest size) and 3 min video. I also reviewed and deleted pictures, so I can’t say it spend a battery very much. (But not enough, also.) Fully charged battery would be enough to take shots for one day..I’m not sure.

　As a maniac, it’s not enough for a main, but enough for a sub.

With the windows XP SP3, it was recognized as soon as connecting it. The CD could be used for emergency.

　At first, the appearance appeals, and then the second appealing point is the 3 inch LCD.

　

　As the Samsung famous for LCD, the LCD is not the LCD, but hVGA+AMOLED. In other words, it’s not LCD, but LED. As you see from the picture, different from other LCD, it shows great viewing angle, brightness, and clean images without brightness change depending on the light. This is a very important part for a compact digital camera depending 100% on the monitor without a view finder.

　

　

The next special thing is the mini dashboard on the top.

　

　It seems Samsung has prepared much for this dashboard on the top. The classical design appealed to many people. However, this part could be good or bad depending on people. There are people like digital rather than analog emotion. Anyway, it’s not innovative, but stimulates the old feeling, I guess. But, there’s a little delay for the initial movement.

　The booting is so fast. The moving needles in the dashboard are cute, aren’t they?

　

　

　

The shot mode dial consists of 10 modes. In clockwise, auto is automatic, S inside the camera is a smart auto to automatically set proper options, camera is a video, SCN is scene, Dual is Dual IS, user is user option, M is manual mode which users can adjust iris value and shutter speed, S is shutter priority, A is iris priority, and P is program mode. The SCN mode consists of 13 scenes, and it helps take appropriate pictures according to the situations without any settings.

The below picture is the initial screen of the SCN mode. When the shot mode dial is “SCN”, it always shows up every time turning it on. (It could be bothering, or convenient.) When the camera is on, this is shown up by pushing the Menu button.
