Functions of digital cameras have been diversified. Therefore, more
functions should be added and are supported in one button. Digital camera
companies try to satisfy users by releasing digital cameras smaller, slimmer,
and having more various functions. However, on the other hand, Samsung starts to
install Touch on digital cameras with releasing simpler, slimmer products. That
is the ST series from Samsung.
The intention to show others great self shots through blog or MySpace
became customers’ request. A lot of manufacturers have produced digital cameras
for convenient self shots. However, most of them were swivel LCD or lens, so
they were not customers expected. Samsung Digital Imaging has answered that
question by putting a small display on the front side. Let’s take a look at the
ST550(TL225).
(*The product used for this review is a sample model, and might be
different from an official product.)
Lastly, let me introduce the functions of the ST550(TL225). I think
the ST550(TL225) considers users’ convenience the most. Let me introduce the
main functions of the ST550(TL225). This product is a sample camera, not an
official product, so the specifications and performance might be
different.
New
Concept Compact Digital Camera Samsung ST550(TL225)
Prologue: Taking shots with watching?
Samsung Digital Imaging
which has been loved by various models having great quality and functions has
released a new concept digital camera. Cameras have focused on taking other
people. Of course, the smaller the size of cameras, the easier self shots, but
in order to confirm the results, we need to review them a lot and this was quite
inconvenient. However, the ST550(TL225) recently released has a 1.5” LCD on the
front and allows easier self shots. In addition, this is not just for self
shots, but to suggest another meaning of a digital camera. Let’s take a closer
look at the ST550(TL225).
Prolog: Take a picture looking at a subject like a
mirror?
Samsung Digital Imaging that have been receiving love and attention
from digital camera users because of the marvelous definition, performance and a
lot of different models in the first half of the year 2009 released a camera of
a new concept, marking a new era in digital camera evolution. The previous
digital cameras paid attention to a subject in front of the camera lens rather
than the person who actually takes a photo. Although you can easily take your
portrait shot as the size of the camera becomes smaller, you have to shoot at
least a couple of times to have a right photo because you have to check a photo
after it is taken. However, the ST550(TL225) newly released from Samsung Digital
Imaging allows you to take a self portrait shot of live expressions without
somebody else’s help, breaking the mold by attaching a 1.5-inch LCD. In
addition, this feature is not only for the self portrait shot itself but also it
presented a different direction of the digital camera. So from now on, let me
tell you about the new concept, digital camera ST550(TL225) in
detail.
