Samsung ST600

The Samsung ST600 is one of two front-facing, DualView compact P&S cameras (ST100, ST600)  released in summer 2010. As upgrades from the TL225 and TL220, both units host a larger 1.8” front-side LCD, a large 3.5” back-side touchscreen display, a 14.2MP sensor with ISO 3200 sensitivity, and 720p video capture.

The ST600 is a more direct upgrade (especially from the TL225) in that it hosts a similar body (though more rounded/sleek). Plus it maintains its predecessor’s 27mm wide-angle focal length, though it hosts an improved 5x optical zoom. Compared to the ST100, the Samsung ST600 is less compact, though it too hosts a gesture-driven touchscreen interface options, smart face recognition (up to 6 manual, 14 automatic), a couples mode that releases the shutter when two faces tilt toward each other, and a ‘jump shot mode’ that alerts subjects when to jump in unison.
