The WB650 is not quite a behemoth superzoom, but it's almost there, packing a 15x optical zoom lens into its small chassis.<br />The WB650 is definitely positioning itself to take some of the glory from Panasonic's travel zoom series, like the TZ10. Like the other camera, the WB650 features in-built GPS, manual shooting controls and HD video recording.<br />It also comes equipped with a 24mm wide-angle lens and a 3-inch AMOLED screen. The resolution, at 920,000 dots, is one of the highest resolution screens on a camera of its class.<br />Here's how the WB650 stacks up against its fellow zoom brethren.<br />Samsung WB650Panasonic Lumix TZ10Canon PowerShot SX210 IS12 megapixels12.1 megapixels14.1 megapixels3-inch AMOLED3-inch LCD3-inch LCD15x optical zoom12x optical zoom 14x optical zoomGPS taggingGPS taggingNo GPS taggingManual controlsManual controlsManual controlsHD video (720p, 30fps)HD video (720p, 25fps)HD video (720p, 30fps)<br />Available in two colours, black and grey, the WB650 will be available from March for AU$499.
