As well as announcing the Samsung HMK-E10 pocket camcorder, Samsung has also launched a new compact camera, the Samsung ST80. The Samsung ST80 features a 14.2 megapixel sensor and it can record HD video in 720p at 30 frames per second.
There is also 3x optical zoom, but the most interesting feature on the Samsung ST80 is that it features built-in WiFi, which means you can share your photos without the need for a computer.
With the Samsung ST80 you will be able to email your photos and also upload them direct to a number of websites which include Facebook, and Picasa.
Advanced Features and Connectivity
The built-in WiFi capability of the Samsung ST80 is a game-changer for photography enthusiasts who are always on the go. This feature allows users to instantly share their captured moments without the hassle of transferring files to a computer first. The camera supports various online platforms, making it easier to upload photos directly to social media sites like Facebook and photo-sharing services like Picasa. This seamless connectivity ensures that your memories are shared in real-time, keeping you connected with friends and family.
In addition to WiFi, the Samsung ST80 also supports DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), which allows you to connect the camera to other DLNA-compatible devices, such as TVs and digital photo frames. This means you can easily display your photos and videos on a larger screen without the need for cables or additional equipment.
Design and Usability
The Samsung ST80 is designed with user convenience in mind. Its sleek and compact design makes it easy to carry around, fitting comfortably in your pocket or bag. The camera features a 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD, which provides an intuitive interface for navigating through settings and reviewing photos. The touchscreen also supports touch focus and touch shutter, allowing you to focus and capture images with a simple tap on the screen.
The camera’s Smart Auto feature automatically adjusts the settings based on the scene being captured, ensuring optimal results in various shooting conditions. Whether you’re taking photos in low light, capturing fast-moving subjects, or shooting landscapes, the Smart Auto mode helps you achieve the best possible image quality.
For those who enjoy experimenting with their photography, the Samsung ST80 offers a range of creative options. The camera includes several scene modes, such as Beauty Shot, which enhances facial features, and Night Mode, which improves low-light performance. Additionally, the camera’s built-in editing tools allow you to make quick adjustments to your photos, such as cropping and rotating, without the need for a computer.
The Samsung ST80 will go on sale in September 2010 for $250.
