Sometimes a photographer needs to get really, really close to his or her subject. And sometimes that requires a little help from a friend. Samsung has just that situation in mind with its new WB750, which features an 18x optical zoom with 24x Smart Zoom -- that's the longest zoom in the company's compact portfolio.

Sometimes a photographer needs to get really, really close to his or her subject. And sometimes that
requires a little help from a friend. Samsung has just that situation in mind with its new WB750, which
features an 18x optical zoom with 24x Smart Zoom -- that's the longest zoom in the company's
compact portfolio. The camera also sports a 12.5 megapixel CMOS sensor with Sammie's proprietary
BSI (Back Side Illuminated) technology, and a redesigned image sensor, lens, and image processor.
In addition to still photos, it also shoots 1080p HD video; a dual capture function allows you to shoot
video alongside 10 megapixel pictures. Or, if you'd rather, you can take up to 10 frames per second in
high-speed continuous mode. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced, but we have our
fingers crossed it arrives before our next safari. See more pictures in the gallery below, and check out
the full PR after the break.
