J's Chimes: Samsung ST100

After an amazing Chinese New Year Celebrations, we went to bought a brand new camera for use with casual photography purposes. So as to say, we needed a compact camera besides the Canon EOS550D DSLR... Stumble upon the Samsung ST100 which is very impressive for a compact camera...


And the best part? Probably because of the New Year Celebrations, this camera is sold at a fantastic price of SGD$399... Yup, we did check around various shops and such and found our that it would be normally price at a retail of at least $450 and above and some were sold at SGD$579 instead... The Samsung ST100 is a 14.2 Megapixel camera with a 5X Zoom and touch screen interface. But there's more...


Yup, the Samsung ST100 has a dual screen capability which allows you to take personal shots from the front. Not only that, you can actually view photos from the front too...


And the best of all would be that the interface is complete touchscreen. The camera also has the ability to edit photos too which makes it so useful and amazing. With HD recording ready, it's seriously worth your money...


One of my personal favs is the editing mode. You could edit the picture using the camera directly. Dun like your current shots? How about spicing it up a bit...


A vignetting edit mode for the Samsung ST100. There are a lot of editing features for this camera and it certainly adds value to it. This compact camera could surprising take closeup shoots too clearly like a DSLR so am pretty happy with the results... Time for a little trial run outside...
