Reborn with WiFi and GPS, ST1000(CL65)

In analog age, I mean when people used film cameras, they couldn’t imagine this big improvement of camera technology. In the past, the camera market demanded higher pixels and bigger lens. But now, the camera needs mobile and wireless with mobile life.

I shared the news which Dual LCD and GPS and WiFi camera will be installed in new Samsung cameras from Engadget through this blog. I’ve got a change to see and experience the camera.

The ST1000(CL65) is that model having Wireless+Link. The ST1000(CL65) supports not only taking/editing/enjoying, but also moving/sharing/touching as a new paradigm camera.

In 2 weeks, I’m going to preview and review the ST1000(CL65), and I’d like to talk about the Mobility and GPS/Bluetooth function of the ST1000(CL65) (Wireless Link ST1000(CL65)).

Recently, by technology development of digital cameras, image quality of each compact camera from different makers is almost the same. Therefore, the more important thing is additional functions. As a result, Samsung Digital Imaging has released the ST550(TL225) having Dual LCD for the first time in the world, and the ST1000(CL65) supporting GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and DLNA has also been released. Especially, the ST1000(CL65) is filled with functions which early adapters like. Let’s take a look at the ST1000(CL65) from this review.

The intention to show others great self shots through blog or MySpace became customers’ request. A lot of manufacturers have produced digital cameras for convenient self shots. However, most of them were swivel LCD or lens, so they were not customers expected. Samsung Digital Imaging has answered that question by putting a small display on the front side. Let’s take a look at the ST550(TL225).

Prolog: Take a picture looking at a subject like a mirror?

Samsung Digital Imaging that have been receiving love and attention from digital camera users because of the marvelous definition, performance and a lot of different models in the first half of the year 2009 released a camera of a new concept, marking a new era in digital camera evolution. The previous digital cameras paid attention to a subject in front of the camera lens rather than the person who actually takes a photo. Although you can easily take your portrait shot as the size of the camera becomes smaller, you have to shoot at least a couple of times to have a right photo because you have to check a photo after it is taken. However, the ST550(TL225) newly released from Samsung Digital Imaging allows you to take a self portrait shot of live expressions without somebody else’s help, breaking the mold by attaching a 1.5-inch LCD. In addition, this feature is not only for the self portrait shot itself but also it presented a different direction of the digital camera. So from now on, let me tell you about the new concept, digital camera ST550(TL225) in detail.

The moment saw the ST550(TL225), I who likes traveling alone gave a shout of joy “Yes! This is it!”

For a self portrait shot, I had to try very hard to have different angles only to have few right pictures. I could be double-chinned, have peaked eyes or the background was hidden behind my face. That is why I became against a self portrait shot and take a normal picture.

However thanks to the ST550(TL225)’s dual LCD, you can now take a cool self portrait shot.

You can not only take an angle you want but it will also a good camera for mothers who had a hard time to take their children.

Is this camera only easy to use? You may ask.

What I can tell you is that the Samsung camera’s performance is more than you can imagine.

Let’s look into the appearance of the Samsung ST550(TL225) this time.
