Quick review
- The good
- Small if chunky form factor, broad zoom range gives rise to more creative framing and compositional options than usual, HD movies with stereo sound
- The bad
- Narrow and painful to use command lever at rear of camera, positioning of the built-in flash at front means that stray fingers can sometimes get in the way
- Verdict
- Fans of photographer Martin Parr who like their images almost unnaturally colour rich will find the Samsung WB550 a deserving companion for the occasional snapshot, and one that will bring them closer to the action to boot
- Key specs
- 12 megapixels, HDMI, Li-ion battery, SD, SDHC
