Features and Specs
After the WB550, the WB600 is the next compact zoom camera from Samsung and it has an impressive set of features that makes it an attractive option if you are in the hunt for a compact zoom camera. The WB600 has many improved features from the older WB550 and still better, at a very affordable price. It has a 1/2.3 CCD sensor packing 12 megapixels and it boasts a 24mm wide angle lens that extends /all the way up to 360mm ( 15x optical). The lens is optically stabilized and the camera supports full manual controls and offers aperture/shutter priority mode and manual mode. It has a bright 3-inch LCD for composing and reviewing images.

The camera still captured rich colors and details but images at ISO 400 were below par which made the WB600 more suitable for use outdoors rather than for low-light shooting.

The WB600 also records 720p HD video at 30fps in h.264 format for optimization of space. Audio is recorded in stereo and zooming function is available during video recording. There is also a Dual Image Stabilization mode to let you take sharper images in low light or while shooting tele photos. The Dual IS mode employs both optical and digital IS systems. Like the older WB550, the WB600 also offers mini-HDMi connectivity to let you view captured images and video directly on your HDTV. ISO speed starts from ISO80 till ISO3200. The camera includes face detection and recognition that adjusts the focusing and exposure for up to 20 faces. The Smart Face Recognition also lets you quickly search for registered faces from the photo album. Samsung’s own Beauty Mode is also included in the 15 scene modes available on the camera.
