S amsung S T550
The S T550 has two LC D screens, one is a touchscreen and the other is positioned on the front
of the camera to entertain you while you take your photos.
We re not quite sure why, either.
It s
hard to make yourself stand out amidst a sea of boring black cameras, each equipped with a 3x
optical zoom, the stock standard 12 megapixels .
.
.
well, we could go on but we d suggest a
strong cup of coffee to keep your attention.
Enter the S T550, a curious contender for the
quirkiest camera of the year.
What?
The smiley face is really more Worzel Gummidge than Wonder Woman.

Fortunately, Samsung is playing the game a little differently with the release of the ST550, a 12.
2-megapixel
compact digital camera that features not one, but two LCD screens.
At the back is a 3.
5-inch touchscreen with
1,152,000 dots packed inside.
To give you an idea of just how many dots that is, the standard camera comes
with just 230,000.
It s also equipped with haptic feedback, which means that the screen vibrates to provide you
with confirmations when you press the screen, and Smart Gestures — so, draw a cross on the screen and your
photo is deleted.
Those doing their best audition for The Sartorialist will love the addition of the 1.
5-inch LCD screen at the front of
the camera, designed for self portraits and to hold a child s attention while their picture is being taken.
And if you re wondering how Samsung intends to hold your child s attention, you set the camera to Children s
mode and a smiley face appears on the front of the screen.
It s a little scary even for us, so we don t know how a
kid will react to it.
There s also the wide-angle 27mm lens that extends to 4.
6x optical zoom and the HD movie recording at 720p,
30fps.
When?
