Samsung ST5000 and ST5500 Announced
By Matthew
The cameras have been redesigned to be more comfortable to use with the
shutter button being set at an angle to make it easier to press.
The cameras have a 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen (3.5″ for the ST5000)
on the back to display the images just captured as well as allow you to work
through the various menu systems.
A further premium design enhancement is the ‘da Vinci-inspired design’ of the
lens technology, based on Leonardo da Vinci’s famed habit of writing notes
backwards to be read later using a mirror. This method ensures that when the
camera is turned on, the lens barrel extends automatically and the image’s
specifications (focal length and aperture) appear in the concave reflective lens
rings instantaneously.
To remove motion blue from images captured each of the cameras use
Samsung’s Dual Image Stabilisation technology that prevents a shaky hand from

2. blurring the shot. Also scene recognition technology has been thrown in that lets
the camera choose the right settings automatically creating the best picture
(although that’s always debatable and will need to be tested first).
The new Samsung digital cameras come in three colours which are black, grey
and terracotta orange. Each of the cameras has a 14.2 megapixel sensor and each
also features 7 times optical zoom.
The Samsung ST5500 is the higher end model of the two cameras and has
wireless and bluetooth built in as well as DLNA allowing images to be sent over
wireless networks as you capture them in a similar way to how the Eye-Fi cards
work.
The touchscreen on the device also responds to gestures allowing you to easily
swipe through the pictures captured on the device.
Each camera is capable of capturing HD at 720p at 30 frames per second. Each
have HDMI connectivity allowing the cameras to be hooked up to a HDTV in the
home.
