In terms of image performance, it’s the colours delivered by the Samsung WB550 even when left on its default settings that jump off the review screen, being mostly warm and well saturated. On occasion this can almost make scenes resemble pages torn from a Japanese comic, though there’s no doubt that it lends punch to the blues and greens of landscapes and puts a healthy glow in the cheeks of human subjects.

It also ensures that would-be users have to do little, if any, in the way of post processing afterwards. Again, a beginner friendly feature, if the visibility of purple pixel fringing between areas of high contrast disappoints. At maximum wide angle there is some barrel distortion too – though not to a painful degree – while sharp results are achievable at extreme telephoto if there’s plenty of light available.

For those who demand a big zoom but want a relatively small form factor too, Samsung’s WB550 – along with the 10MP WB500, which otherwise boasts the same headline spec – suggests itself as a viable alternative to Panasonic’s pioneering TZ series of big zoom pocket cameras.
