The Samsung WB690 12 megapixel digital camera is perfect when you want to get up close - thanks to its superb 18x optical zoom.

Capture everything in incredible detail, regardless of how far you are standing away. And the Samsung WB690's versatile 24 mm Schneider Kreuznach wide angle lens also lets you fit more into the frame when you want to shoot sprawling landscapes or busy group shots.

A wealth of other auto modes - including face detection, smile shot, blink detection, self portrait and beauty shot - make life easier for beginners who want to build up their knowledge steadily.

A large 3 inch LCD screen makes easy work of framing your shots and viewing your handiwork afterwards. The Samsung WB690 also offers 1080p HD video recording and an HDMI port for quick and easy playback on a HD TV.

Comments about Samsung WB690 12 Megapixel Digital Camera - Black:

love this camera,its heavy-but that is not a bad thing,its well made,and should last.i got this out of the box on a tues,and was taking shots at a friends wedding on sat,i even used the video mode,and all ive had back is fantastic response to the pics that i took,the bride has not long had her photos back from the pro-guy who did her day,and she actually prefers my pics...that is as good a recommendation as i could give to this camera..10/10

        Comments about Samsung WB690 12 Megapixel Digital Camera - Black:

        Reading other peoples reviews here i thought i would be getting a camera heavier than a brick ! Well all i can say is they must have had featherlight cameras before they bought this one, there's nothing to be concerned about in this matter. As my previous camera was a Samsung, the controls are familiar and easy to navigate, but to get the best from this camera i would still suggest going through the user guide as it packs in a lot features. All in all a good buy.
