Review : Samsung ST550 Twin Screen Digital Camera

Yes this <b>camera</b> has a TFT at the front and the back. Not as daft as it sounds if you either want to catch a shot with the image taker in or if you are trying to keep the attention of a young child their own image works wonders.

4.0

The new Samsung ST550 camera pushes the envelope of user interface design, with a incredibly clever touch-screen interface that is finally worth using. Widely promoted in an expensive TV ad campaign, the ST550 (also known as the TL225) has an LCD screen on the front as well as the back, which is used for self-portraits. A 12 megapixel sensor and 4.6x wide-angle zoom complete the key specifications of the ST-550. Mark Goldstein finds out if the Samsung ST550 / TL225 is the ultimate Christmas gift in our in-depth expert review...

4.5

The Samsung ST5500 / CL80 digital camera almost literally includes the kitchen sink, with a whole range of cutting-edge features on offer. 14 megapixels, a massive 3.7 inch AMOLED touch-screen, 7x zoom, built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and DNLA connectivity - the ST5500 is easily one of the most full-featured compact point-and-shoots of 2010. But can it justify its £349.99 / $399.99 price-tag? Read our Samsung ST5500 review to find out...

Review : Samsung ST5500

This is a small solid and good quality digital camera that can also take excellent quality video. It has good optical zoom at 7x and can take 14MP still images, perhaps best of all it is almost totally touchscreen for ease of use.

Samsung ST5500

The 14.2-megapixel Samsung ST5500 offers the double whammy of a huge 3.7-inch touchscreen at the back and retractable 7x optical zoom at the front, making for a surprisingly able point-and-shoot.
