Samsung ST1000: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS in one
camera
We’ve just had official confirmation that the Samsung ST1000 camera we spotted in blurrycam shots
a couple of days ago is the real deal - and according to Samsung it’s the first ever compact camera to
offer GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in a single body.
GPS allows the Samsung ST1000 to geotag each shot you take, and it will also keep you informed of
the city and region you’re currently in (in case you, you know, forget) via the camera’s LCD screen.
Bluetooth lets you transfer shots directly to mobile phones, while Wi-Fi allows you to email them to
pals, or upload stills and videos direct to Facebook, YouTube and Picasa. The ST1000 is DLNA
compliant too, so you can stream the snaps to other DLNA gear - HDTVs, media servers, digital photo
frames and the like.
The Samsung ST1000 also possesses the world’s highest resolution 3.5-inch touchscreen, and it
supports a new feature called Smart Touch Auto Focus. This allows you to pinpoint the auto focus
area simply by touching a location on the screen. Hold your finger there for longer and the camera will
take a picture.
The ST1000 was only one of three new Samsung cameras unveiled today: they also announced the
ST500 and ST550.
