I saw the Samsung WB500 and loved it for the price vs features. It has everything i need
-HD video with optical zoom during recording +stereo sound
-ultra zoom 10x optical zoom
-Manual features for photo taking

I have read reviews on this camera and some say the image quality is not so good. Could anyone tell me what you think about this camera. Is it worth buying?
(I have seen the Panasonic TZ7 but it is too expensive)
