“Best buy (megazoom)” “The advantages of the WB5500 are its 16 times zoom, its many set-up options and its RAW function. Its image quality almost reaches the same level as the EX1 at ISO 100, but at ISO 400 it diminishes significantly; but it still gets our megazoom best buy rating.” |

“Contrary to initial expectations, the Samsung WB5500 delivers better image quality than its predecessor model, the WB5000. The slightly expanded zoom range is barely noticeable in day to day use and the device is still straightforward to use.” |

A review of the Samsung WB5500 bridge camera: a slightly altered reissue netzwelt.de 8/2010 - In comparison to its first bridge camera, the most noticeable differences Samsung has made with the WB5500 model is a wider zoom range and an increased image sensor resolution. This test will reveal whether this will have a positive or a negative impact on picture quality. It should at least still be as easy to use as its predecessor.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 CNET.co.uk 7/2010 - If lightweight, lens-swapping cameras like Panasonic's own Micro Four Thirds format threaten the superzoom with extinction, cameras such as the Lumix DMC-FZ100 ensure long-zooming snappers aren't going quietly. Equipped with a 24x optical zoom and 14-megapixel CMOS sensor, the FZ100 offers a host of features in stills snapping, high-speed mode and high-definition video.
