Anyone know what the deal is with the ISO3200/3mp mode?

Really? You can get a new camera with "a full 3-inch 480x260 AMOLED display" for a little over $200 now, eh? Wow, where have I been?

Both hands go down to E when shut off....

I've no issue with the image quality for what it is (a slim P&S), and the screen still outclasses some of the current Casio and Fuji point and shoots for reviewing shots. Samsung make decent cameras, but people don't always realise it because their name isn't synonymous with photography.]]>Jun 11th 2009 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/Jun 11th 2009 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/Jun 11th 2009 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/Jun 11th 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/
Yes, because as everyone knows, Canon and Nikon are always great, while everyone else is always crap on a stick.

Would be useful to check memory and battery quickly without turning the camera on.]]>Jun 11th 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/
I am really impressed with the quality of the materials used to make it, and it feels solid. The rubber grip on the front lends itself more to shooting one-handed than some of the models with slippery fronts.

I can't comment on photo quality because I didn't view any of photos off the camera, but damn they looked incredible on the AMOLED! I am looking for a solid little P&S so that I don't have to carry around my D300 and a bag of lenses all the time for every occasion, and I almost bought this thing on impulse. I took a step back and decided to give it a moment to simmer before digging in.

I still might buy it, before leaving Korea for India and Brazil later this year. Some locales in these countries will demand full DSLR capabilities, but in other locales it might be tempting fate to pull out a couple thousand worth of camera equipment.]]>Jun 12th 2009 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/Jun 12th 2009 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/Jun 13th 2009 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/video-samsungs-12-megapixel-wb1000-rocks-analog-gauges-3-inch/
