The Ashes

Samsung is doing something for the first time with their Samsung ST500 And ST550–two cameras with a display screen in front that enables you, basically, to see yourself while taking photos. This makes for a great self-photography companion.

The front display is touchscreen, which allows the user to touch it and take a self-portrait. I think this might be Samsung’s answer to cameras with flip out and turn-around screens. Those are not usually helpful at all.

Both cameras–Samsung ST500 And ST550– have a 12-megapixel resolution, 4.6x optical zoom and 1.5-inch display screen in front. The difference is that ST550 has a 3.5-inch rear display while ST500 only has a 3-inch display at the back.

We still don’t have the release date and price for this line of Samsung cameras but I’m pretty sure it won’t come cheap. If you’re eyeing this as early as now, get ready to shell some big bucks when it becomes available.
