Cataract discussion--no glasses! A new Pentax ML for Namely you point the WB at a scene or subject that hopefully the camera recognizes, automatically adjusting its settings to deliver optimum results. This means that it's not necessary for the user to manually delve into scene modes to call up the likes of 'landscape' or 'flower'; the WB's operation is merely a case of point and shoot.

Incidentally, as you turn the shooting dial, a virtual version which the same eight settings rotates in tandem on screen, highlighting and explaining each one as you select it. Also found on the dial are a 'Dual IS' mode - which offers both optical image stabilization and the ISO boosting digital variety.

We'll of course be examining how well it does at its higher settings in the Image Quality section of our review. The dedicated scene mode requires the user to press either the Function button or the Menu button at the camera's rear and scroll through the 12 options to find them. The Beauty Shot mode is useful for both acne-d adolescents and those of us who have over indulged by automatically retouching out spots and blemishes, while the Magic Frame applies various garish frames around your image with the effect previewed on the LCD screen.

In the HDR mode the camera takes two shots at different exposures and combines them to create a single image with more detail in the shadow and highlight areas. Spotlighting the WB's intended audience as the family, Samsung clearly wants its users to have to spend as little time post-processing images as possible - if any.

Samsung's Smart Face Recognition technology automatically adjusts the camera's focus and exposure for up to 20 faces, and it can even recognise the most photographed faces in your photos and focus on them.

Smart Face Recognition also lets you quickly search for specific people in your photo album without having to browse through every single photo. The adjacent setting on the dial is for the new Live Panorama mode, which shoots a Live, Action or 3D panorama simply by holding down the shutter button and sweeping the camera across the scene, much like Sony's pioneering Sweep Panorama mode in fact.

The next mode is for the previously mentioned Creative Movie Maker, followed by video mode, which isn't really needed as there's a one-touch movie record button on the back of the camera. Completing the WB's range of shooting modes is the A. M option, which as the name suggests accesses the Aperture and Shutter priority and full Manual modes.

There's no external dial for changing the values, instead you have select from the on-screen graphical options and then press the OK button a couple of times to actually be able to change the aperture or shutter speed. Staying on the Samsung WB's top plate, the next control along is the large-ish and springy shutter release button, surrounded by a rocker switch for operating the zoom.

Controlled by a protruding lip that falls naturally under the forefinger, the responsive zoom quietly takes around five seconds to travel from maximum wide angle to full telephoto. Once you've zoomed in and got your composition how you want, with a half press of the shutter button the Samsung WB is commendably swift to determine focus and exposure, the AF point highlighted in green and an operational 'beep' confirming you're good to go on and take the shot.

With little noticeable shutter lag, at the highest resolution setting an image is committed to memory in just under two seconds, the screen blanking out briefly, which isn't bad at all. Moving to the back of the Samsung WB, this is dominated by the three-inch LCD screen, with a vertical strip of controls running from top to bottom at its right. At the top of the run of controls is a welcome one-touch movie record button, making it a cinch to start and stop your high-def movie masterpieces, alongside a dimpled area to aid your grip on the camera.

Underneath is the Menu button which provides a range of selectable options, the brevity or otherwise of which is dependant on the particular mode the user is in. Let's assume, for example, we're shooting in Program mode. Selecting Menu opens an icon illustrated vertical bar with five main options that provides drop down access to fine tuning the Camera, Movie, Sound, Display and Settings. Next to the Menu button is the Continuous Shooting button. The WB can shoot at an impressive 10fps for up to 8 images, or slower 5fps and 3fps modes.

I started to look at new cameras, and then thought that maybe I should just buy another Samsung like my old one. So I did. We use it every day for product shots. By buying a camera that we already knew and liked, there was no down time, no learning curve Perfect for our needs. I am enjoying the camera. It has a lot of features to learn, so I am still getting used to it now.

It is a little heavier than my old one, so carrying it is a little more awkward, but not a big deal. I love the zoom feature! Where the two cameras differ considerably is in the choice of image sensor.

Although in terms of headline figures this might seem to be a step backwards from the WB, it actually represents a considerable leap forwards in terms of potential performance - particularly in terms of low light photography and noise reduction.

Armed with a responsive autofocus system and capable of shooting at a rapid 10fps for up to eight photos, the Samsung WB can help you get shots in situations where other big zoom compact cameras would struggle.
