  • Just got my ST550 a few days ago. In addition to all the features listed in the above article, the image quality is very good, I'd even say excellent (I'm not a professional, but the pictures are better than those from other digital snapshot cameras I've used).

    One interesting feature not mentioned is the ability to select "favorite" faces from pictures that you've taken. The camera will then prioritize those faces when taking pictures, so you don't have to worry about the camera focusing on strangers when the scene is crowded.

    Selecting features and modes is very easy and quick using the touch-screen interface. I had originally been worried that this might have been "fiddly", but it's much more efficient than using the standard 4-direction cursor buttons common to other digital cameras.

    Overall, I'm very happy with this camera. Can't really think of any downsides off the top of my head.

  • I was not really interested in this ST550. But since my sister got one, my mind has toally changed. She was taking her selfshot so beautifully and it makes me feel so jealous! girls consider about their self shot lots!

    ST550 is the great revolution especially for girls:P (self shot!)

  • I'm not an avid lover of self-shot but this new innovation from samsung has then changed my mind and gave me a new hobby... I become addicted to taking my own self-shots cos it comes out so beautifully.. A casual photographer like me really appreciate the smart functions these camera has to offer 'cos it's just what I need when I push the on button - snap, snap and snap! ^^ Posted by Sammy_e, Malaysia
  • I am a crazy self shot girl but my old camera always made me pissed and upset
    with my shot. However since i bought ST550 and used it, I feel like so so so
    excited of taking photos of myself.
    ST550 is great, awesome and COOL!

And finally Samsung did it yay! ST550 is so popular now and all of my friends want to try mine haha:) i became so popular too :p I hope it becomes more more popular:D Posted by Jessica, South Korea
  • ST550 is the greatest invention among all the cameras. And their price is very reasonable. I dont think it is that much expensive, and when you get one with that money, you will realise that it is very worthy. Posted by Monostar, KL Malaysia
