nowadays the two-digit megapixel limit is fast approaching its twenties even
for the most basic of models from the gamut of manufacturers out there. Samsung
intends to cater to a broad spectrum of users, with their ST30 model touted
to deliver great shots just about anytime and anywhere despite coming in an
ultra portable form factor. T
The Samsung ST30 is roughly the size of an average cell phone, making it the
ideal device to stash away into your pocket or handbag, although we do wonder
whether at that size, most people would prefer to stick to their cell phone
cameras which frankly speaking, aren’t too shabby at all when it comes to
snapping photos and recording videos (the iPhone 4′s CMOS sensor comes
to mind). At least Samsung has decided to endow the ST30 with a unique
design finished with a high quality metal body and party enhancing color of
your choice.
Being small doesn’t mean it is short on features – no sir, Samsung has thrown
in Smart Auto focus which is an internal battery charging system, a 28mm lens
and 3x power optical zoom into its fun-sized body. Not only that, the additional
image stabilization will deliver more value to your camera experience,
preventing even the tiniest shake so that you will get the sharpest images
all the time. Of course, we do have our doubts about that claim since low light
conditions are always a tricky environment for a camera to be in.
An advanced 10.1-megapixel sensor will provide sharp, crisp detail to make your
images stand out from the crowd, while it will be accompanied by an innovative
face detection technology, Red-eye fix and even next generation technology
which is capable of detecting facial blinking. Basically, it means that whether
it’s bright disco lights or sunshine, you are able to make sure that the eyes of
your subjects are open and ready for the perfect shot. Not only that, the ST30
will also perform a quick Photoshop fix – evening out skin tones, erasing
blemishes and removing dark circles for you to control the quality of your
appearance in anysituation.
If you’re ready to bust open your purse strings for the Samsung ST30, it
will only be out this coming March for $99.99 a pop – not too shabby, don’t
you think so?
