Samsung HZ15W (WB550) prices and specs
The HZ15W (WB550) was released on Feb 23, 2009.
The HZ15W (WB550) belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The HZ15W (WB550) can make images at 12 megapixels highest resolution. But for better picture quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.33' (6.08 x 4.56 mm) sensor which means that the camera will take images with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to make images of the best quality check Canon EOS 5DS R.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that will be enough for taking action images of a very good quality. The photographer will be able to capture HD videos that guarantees a satisfactory picture quality.
The lens is fixed and the photographer can't switch it. The lens has amazing 10x optical zoom.
