HZ10W 10.2 Megapixels Digital Camera by Samsung, offers a high-performance, ultra-wide 24mm Schneider lens with 10x optical zoom that allows you to be more creative and flexible when taking digital images. Manual controls include: the ability to adjust shutter speed, aperture, exposure, and focus. The camera also incorporates both Optical and Digital Image Stabilization to help reduce image blur. It gives you the ability to capture video in 720p high-definition at 30 frames-per-second (fps), and thanks to H.264 compression, you can record video for longer periods of time, allowing better utilization of the remaining memory capacity on your memory card.

Photography Blog has a great review of the Samsung WB550 (aka HZ15W).  They give the camera a 4 out of 5 starts and say:

Though it is beginner friendly, Samsung’s WB550 fortunately doesn’t look cheap and cheerful and neither should it for $300. While, OK, it may not be the most svelte compact around, compensation comes in the form of its broader-than-average focal range which provides competition for Panasonic’s similarly specified TZ series of big zoom, small form factor compacts

The Samsung HZ15W includes a world first 10x optical zoom and 24mm ultra wide angle Schneider lens and cements Samsung's position as an innovator in the new and important High-zoom category - compact cameras equipped with the sort of advanced zoom lens technology traditionally seen only in SLR cameras. This new technology gives people even greater control and helps them take better, professional standard photos; enhancing the entire photography experience, from shooting to sharing images with friends and family. The 12-megapixel HZ15W also includes HD movie capture so people can "Pause and Re-record" high definition videos and super sharp movie-quality recordings in one movie clip - a Samsung patented function. The cameras also include "Smart Auto" (Scene Recognition) technology: 11 optimized picture pre-settings such as Portrait, Night portrait, Macro and Macro Color, to help people take the perfect shot regardless of the conditions.
