Digital Camera Review

Jan 11, 2009 - By Tim Barribeau
The HZ10W from Samsung squeezes a substantial 10x zoom wide angle lens and 10-megapixel sensor into quite a small, well built package. We got our first glimpse of this camera at CES 2009, and after some time working with a pre-production sample, gained some insight into what sort of beast it is. Overall we were quite impressed, as you'll see in this First Impression review. Expect to see the HZ10W in stores in January for $299.99

Fresh from the floor of CES, we bring you Samsung's new not-quite-ultra-zoom camera, the HZ10W. This model manages to fit an impressive 10x zoom as well as a decent wide angle lens into a body not much bigger than a standard point-and-shoot. It also houses a 10-megapixel sensor, and will sell  for $299.99 in January. Based on our brief experience with this camera, we were really impressed by the quality of the components and the menu system, but less so with the slow lens. Read on for more of our First Impressions of this camera, keeping in mind that they are based on a pre-production sample, and that image quality can't be judged without taking a final camera into our labs for analysis.
