okay so we're doing a quick unboxing in front of the Olympic rings here in uh in
Vancouver well Richmond I guess at the airport so today we're going to be
having a quick look at the Samsung st550 one of the big Innovations of this
camera is the fact that it has an LCD on the front as well as one on the back
which allows you to easily take photos of yourself and well okay you can see
they've demonstrated clearly what they want you to be doing with it okay so it
is a 12.2 megap camera with a 4.6x
optical zoom it's actually raining a little bit so this is uh I'm going to be
in a bit of a rush here sorry about that in advance but the first thing we find
inside is the Samsung quickart manual and there's also a driver and utilities
CD ROM okay thank you for that let's have a look at what's included in terms
of accessories so we have oh that's kind of neat okay we've got a USB
to wow whatever that is I'm guessing this is a proprietary charging cable
okay so this could be used for data transfer or for oh I I hate that I hate
that already so that could be for data transfer or for power and then they also
provide you with a USB uh power plug for
your wall okay that's pretty nice of them to include so then also inside here
we have a
battery okay so there is all right what
is that that's a rechargeable lithium ion battery 3.7 volt so you're going to
have to put that into the camera yourself which is fine and then we have
the camer camera itself the st550 so I'm
going to go ahead and I wish I could put this box down because here I'll give it
to the cameraman that works okay so there it is we got kind of a shiny
finish to the front of it okay you got there it is your 4.6 times optical zoom
you got 12.2 megapixels there's your flash you can't actually see from the
front of the camera unless you look at it from the right angle can you see that
can you see the the the screen okay so the screen is right there it's big
enough that you could easily hold it in front of you and see yourself in it but
then you've also got a very large screen on the back is this how do you even
control this thing it must be touch sensitive hold on give me two seconds
here okay let's have a look at what they say on the front Sweet It Is a
touchcreen on the back okay so here's the full sort of rundown here you've got
the 1.5 in front LCD 3 and 1/2 in wide
touchscreen LCD on the back it has haptic effect okay Smart Auto
intelligence and then it supports HD movie recording so you can shoot in 1280
by 720 if you're shooting videos here's your Zoom control here's your play
button to re review your photos and uh
yeah thank you for checking out the st5 oh yeah there's that proprietary USB
connection on the bottom I no I don't really like to see those I'd rather see
a normal USB uh mini connector but what are you going to do here's where you put
in the uh oh that oh yeah the battery as well
as a Micro SD card really
wow that's kind of weird yeah it looks
like this supports micro SD okay well
thank you for checking out my quick unboxing and overview of the st550
