A lot of new cameras are being released and will be released in the next few days (Canon, Panasonic on September 1st). Samsung is also preparing a WB5000 super zoom. For some reason the original Cnet article was removed (maybe it is not yet official?). Google has also cached a Samsung UK page with the same model number, but now the page is also removed. Weird.

        Chris,
        What do you mean with comments like “I don’t care what you commenters have to say either”?
        It means that u don’t care about anybody’s opinion but you force yours on everybody?
        I definitely hope to have misread what you said, since otherwise I won’t be able to wash down the appaling taste of your comment.

        • Chris

          That is exactly what I am saying. Because I know people will disagree with me, and I DON’T CARE.

          • NikoDoby

            I agree with you Chirs :) Because I don’t care and I just made you read my post.

    Hehe, seeing 7 comments on the front page, I would have suspected something different than this :-P

    It is agains Nikon, Pentax, Kodak, Sony and Pana superzoom cameras… it is natural.

  • Adam Maas

    It’s a rebadge. Nikon, Pentax and Kodak are already selling this camera with slight variations.
