looking for a replacement

when this samsung came out i found it very interesting, i needed a new small camera with some manual controls and a wideangle lens. i remember the price was a bit high because it had lot of interesting features like oled lcd, the 24 lens, fast video, metal body.

luckly after few months was replaced by wb2000 and i cuold buy one on a budget. i'm still using it today and i think is a very capable little camera. the lens is wide and also sharp so under 400iso there are lot of details, the manual controls aren't exactly reflex like, but enough to adjust what i need.

it's also very compact.

the things i don't like: some distortion at wide end, delay in the shutter, slow operation when using flash, some inchoprensible menu-limitation (everytime i turn it off the continuous burst is disengaged...), high noise over 400iso.

but all in all a good little camera, and i'm wondering why samsung doesn't make a wb3000 nowadays.
