IFA 09: Details on The New Samsung Digital Cameras Emerge

04 Sep, 2009, 5:11 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff | Point and Shoot

Details on Samsung's new digicams launched at IFA have emerged.


First up are the Samsung ST550 and ST500 that bring the latest in compact camera innovation with their Dual LCD screens. The 1.5-inch LCD on the front of the camera shows the user exactly what the picture will look like, enabling the image to be captured easily, every time. Incorporating a 3.5-inch wide touch screen 1,152K LCD in back, the ST550 delivers almost four times more resolution than traditional cameras and also comes with haptic vibration feedback for ease of use. Complementing this is a 12.2 mega-pixel CCD and 27mm wide angle Schneider KREUZNACH lens with 4.6x optical zoom.


The ST550 and ST500 also feature Gesture User Interface (UI) with built-in gravity sensor. This means that once the camera is on, a simple tap on the front LCD turns it on and the camera is automatically set into self portrait mode with smile detection.  Therefore, if users want to take a self portrait, they only need to tap and smile and the picture will be taken, without needing to press the shutter button.

The ST550 and ST500 will be available in India in September for Rs. 25000 and Rs. 20000 respectively.

The Samsung ST1000 incorporates for the first time in a digital camera geo-tagging technology. Added to it is Bluetooth 2.0 and DLNA compatibility and Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi enables users to send and post pictures almost as quickly as they take them, while GPS capabilities keep track of where they’ve travelled and help manage images easily. The built-in geo-tagging allows users to record the exact details of the location and time the image was taken. The ST1000 also offers DLNA connectivity, allowing users to wirelessly connect to other DLNA compatible HDTVs within their networked home to view and share memories.


The ST1000 will be available for Rs. 27000 in September.
