IFA 09: Details on The New Samsung Digital Cameras Emerge

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.
