Capturing important events can be nerve-racking—whether it’s a game-winning homerun or a slide into first base, you don’t want to miss a thing. The WB2000 makes sure every smile is captured with a video and a still shot. Dual Capture makes it easy to shoot both ways, and at the same time. And every amazing detail is revealed thanks to 1080p high definition movie recording and 10 megapixel photos. The WB2000 even features high-speed shooting, so you’ll never miss an exciting moment, no matter how fast it happens. Enjoy capturing the memories without any worries thanks to the WB2000’s smart innovations.

Double your chances of capturing your greatest memories.
Can’t decide whether to capture that winning goal in an action-packed video or with a beautiful still shot? Now you don’t have to. Snap still pictures while recording videos in full HD. Thanks to Samsung’s DRIMeIII Imaging Processor, simply press the shutter button while you’re shooting video and the WB2000 takes a full-size still without interrupting the video. Not only are movies shot in high quality with 5x optical zoom for close ups, an impressive 10 megapixels bring out incredible details in every memory you capture.

Reinvent your home movies in Full HD.
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to keep your options open, the WB2000 is right for you. You’ll get 1920 x 1080p Full HD quality video at 30 frames per second.So video boasts life-like colour and sharp details that completely reinvent home movies. Its H.264 format has a recording time that’s longer than MJPEG video so you have room for extra innings and a stereo microphone ensures audio is crystal-clear. Hook it up to any HDTV or HD monitor with an HDMI cable and get ready to share all the action in full-on HD brilliance.

Reveal every detail with high-speed shooting
Sometimes in order to enjoy life’s most exciting moments, you have to slow things down a bit. With the WB2000’s high-speed shooting feature, it’s possible to capture every dance movement or each swoosh of a swing of the bat. If it’s faster than the human eye, slow motion playback can catch it with 1000 frames per second for videos and 10 fps for photos. The Samsung WB2000 makes sure life’s most extraordinary moments don’t pass you by. So you can capture every moment—literally.

Tell the whole story through panorama action.
Tired of having to back up to get the whole shot? Your view just got wider thanks to the WB2000 digital camera. Capture more moments with a panorama feature that lets you snap shots of your entire family so no one’s accidentally left out — or an awe-inspiring mountain range that you never imagined you could capture in one shot. You can even take multiple shots of wide scenes and bring them together to make one extra-large, super-wide image. The WB2000 gives you a deeper perspective on everything you see.

Seeing is believing.
Your viewing experience just got a lot more interactive with the WB2000’s 3” Ultra Clear VGA AMOLED. Even under direct sunlight you can see your images in its screen which reduces glares from sunlight. Also, you’ll see darker blacks and true colour brightness thanks to the AMOLED’s 10000:1 contrast ratio. The clear, sharp display looks great from any angle. And you get all of this without an LCD backlight – so it consumes less power. Go ahead; show off your masterpiece on the large, sleek 3” screen with VGA resolution, 614400 pixels, and 10000:1 contrast ratio.

Shed light on every memory you capture.
The WB2000 features a 10MP high-speed BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS Sensor which doubles the sensitivity of standard CMOS Sensors. You’ll enjoy enhanced recording quality in areas with dim lighting thanks to a sensor that minimizes noise and distortion, and eliminates image degradation. The result? Photos that are sharp, crisp and truly capture your vision—in brilliant HD.

Stay ahead of the game with pre-capture.
Are you always just a little late capturing that special moment? With the WB2000 pre-capture feature, you’re ahead of the game. Simply half-press the shutter button and the WB2000 automatically archives photos taken slightly before the button is fully pressed. All you’ll need to do is select the perfect shot.

Take control. Seize the moment.
When it comes to capturing life’s greatest moments on film, hit-or-miss just isn’t good enough. That’s why Samsung’s Full Manual Control lets you capture those moments you might otherwise miss out on in auto mode. Aperture Priority makes sure your main subject stands out from its surroundings, Sutter Priority captures fast movements, and Manual Mode grants you complete control of the exposure.

Edit RAW files and express yourself.
The WB2000 was engineered to help you express yourself. Its Samsung converter program gives you the freedom to edit RAW files – files that contain uncompressed original data and are not yet processed – any way you want. Normally, images are processed and compressed into JPEG files using settings in the camera. But RAW file support gives you free reign. So whether its colour, exposure difference or resolution, you can manipulate your images to your heart’s content.

Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie)
Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) instantly analyzes key elements of your composition then automatically adjusts to capture the perfect shot with multitude of different photo modes and movie modes.

Smart Filter
The Miniature filter gives your subjects a miniaturized look, the Vignetting filter delivers a strikingly strong compositional contrast, and our Fish-eye filter gives your video that cool distorted feel.
