Samsung ST550 review and ratings
The Samsung ST550 is a groundbreaking digital camera. As well as the standard LCD screen placed on the back of the camera, Samsung has added a 1.5 inch screen to the front. This is a big help if you are trying to line up self portrait type shots.
The screen on the back of the camera is touch sensitive and allows you to control just about every setting through touch. Other features include High Definition movies and tilt control. Once you have mastered tilt control you are able to activate options such as deleting photos or starting a slideshow by tilting the camera.
One feature I really like is the recycle bin. Many people have written to me over the years bemoaning the fact they have accidentally deleted treasured photos of their grandchildren, holiday of a lifetime etc. The recycle bin puts an extra step in the deletion process and gives you some added protection.
Picture quality is very good. It is not the very best, but you should not have too many complaints about the quality of the pictures you take with the ST550
The camera that comes nearest to the ST550 in terms of features is the Sony Cybershot DSC TX1. This also offers full touch screen control. It comes in a very stylish body too.
Rating: Above Average
If the number of features on a digital camera is one of the key attractions then the Samsung ST550 is likely to prove attractive. Samsung are probably the most innovative digital camera company and this camera breaks new ground.
