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

Conclusion
The Samsung HZ10W seems promising based on our brief introduction. It packs some serious zoom power into a small body, has an excellent feel in hour hand, and a good range of manual controls. On the down side, the lens is on the slow side, though we'll know more when we get a chance to test it. The camera will be available in January for $299.99
