Charming camera with Haptic. Samsung ST10

In this 2009 whole world filled with economic crisis, spring comes. Each digital camera companies are releasing their own cameras.

I d like to introduce one of them to you. It s the charming ultra slim ST10 from Samsung digital imaging like flower getting more beauty when blooming..

Those who have seen the touch screen type digital camera NV100HD might have thought that In some day, there will be haptic touch screen digital cameras like the Anycall Cell phone . The first model is the ST10.

The ST10 has adopted the haptic touch screen type which became famous by the Anycall cell phones to provide more interesting and satisfactory operation. In order to give visual convenience, it has the 3 inch (7.6cm) 46K pixel LCD screen. It also has internal image editing functions to change color and feeling, so beginners can get good pictures.

Besides, for convergence, it supports PMP function, so with the ST10, you can take pictures, movies, and music.

Box and composition

The box of the ST10 is small and simple compared to other products. It s like other cell phones or MP3 players have small box, and I think this is kind of environment protection. And this is also a strong point for users who keep boxes, because of the small size. On the box, there s a picture of the ST10 almost the same size as the real one, and with picture icons, it mentions 6 features on the size. On the lower part, there s detailed explanation.

Design and appearance

The point of design is the circular lens cap on the front. Like other slide cover type, it also takes a role of a power button, so you can take a picture right away after rotating this cover. It s not semi-auto type, so you have to rotate it until the whole lens is shown. There will be people who like or dislike this function, but the bearing feeling on hands has some addiction.

The front body is made of metal, and others are made of plastic including the lens cover. Different types of materials are finished well with 2 colors. Especially, the metal part on the front emphasizes the high grade feel of metal with non-glossy rough pattern, while the lens cover is coated with high glossy material, and this gives mixed and matched feeling. Because of this, when I actually saw the product, I thought the real product is much better. (If you want to talk about the design of the ST10, I hope you actually touch the product and make the conclusion.)

On the left side, there s a charge port and strap connector. The charge port can be used for AV output and earphone connection. On the right side, there s no port. As a ultra slim digital camera, the minimum number of buttons are located outside.

On the back, there s only the 3 inch touch screen LCD and 3 buttons (Zoom, Setting, Playback). It s so simple, and this is possible, because most of the operation is made by touch screen.

Recently, there have been more digital cameras, cell phones, and MP3 players using large LCD screen, so a lot of users care of LCD protection. However, in the digital camera market, the protection for LCD such as coating is not enough. But the LCD of the ST10 has been coated against finger prints or any scratch.

Epilogue

We ve been looking at the composition and appearance of the ST10. Real Samsung cameras are usually different from pictures. In design, they emphasize publicity rather than uniqueness, so it s not easy to see the charming point only with pictures. However, when people see it actually, they usually say It s pretty. . This is because of their technology from film cameras, and proves their superiority of material and quality. The ST10 belongs to this. When I saw this in the picture, I didn t know that the design is that good. But when I saw this product actually, I was really surprised. However, this is not enough to explain the charming points of the ST10. At next time, we will go over the function and performance of the ST10 and see the hidden points of the ST10.
