okay so we're doing a quick unboxing in front of the Olympic rings here in uh in
0:05
Vancouver well Richmond I guess at the airport so today we're going to be
0:08
having a quick look at the Samsung st550 one of the big Innovations of this
0:12
camera is the fact that it has an LCD on the front as well as one on the back
0:17
which allows you to easily take photos of yourself and well okay you can see
0:21
they've demonstrated clearly what they want you to be doing with it okay so it
0:25
is a 12.2 megap camera with a 4.6x
0:28
optical zoom it's actually raining a little bit so this is uh I'm going to be
0:32
in a bit of a rush here sorry about that in advance but the first thing we find
0:36
inside is the Samsung quickart manual and there's also a driver and utilities
0:42
CD ROM okay thank you for that let's have a look at what's included in terms
0:46
of accessories so we have oh that's kind of neat okay we've got a USB
0:52
to wow whatever that is I'm guessing this is a proprietary charging cable
0:56
okay so this could be used for data transfer or for oh I I hate that I hate
1:01
that already so that could be for data transfer or for power and then they also
1:05
provide you with a USB uh power plug for
1:09
your wall okay that's pretty nice of them to include so then also inside here
1:14
we have a
1:18
battery okay so there is all right what
1:21
is that that's a rechargeable lithium ion battery 3.7 volt so you're going to
1:25
have to put that into the camera yourself which is fine and then we have
1:29
the camer camera itself the st550 so I'm
1:32
going to go ahead and I wish I could put this box down because here I'll give it
1:36
to the cameraman that works okay so there it is we got kind of a shiny
1:40
finish to the front of it okay you got there it is your 4.6 times optical zoom
1:45
you got 12.2 megapixels there's your flash you can't actually see from the
1:50
front of the camera unless you look at it from the right angle can you see that
1:53
can you see the the the screen okay so the screen is right there it's big
1:57
enough that you could easily hold it in front of you and see yourself in it but
2:01
then you've also got a very large screen on the back is this how do you even
2:06
control this thing it must be touch sensitive hold on give me two seconds
2:09
here okay let's have a look at what they say on the front Sweet It Is a
2:12
touchcreen on the back okay so here's the full sort of rundown here you've got
2:17
the 1.5 in front LCD 3 and 1/2 in wide
2:21
touchscreen LCD on the back it has haptic effect okay Smart Auto
2:26
intelligence and then it supports HD movie recording so you can shoot in 1280
2:30
by 720 if you're shooting videos here's your Zoom control here's your play
2:35
button to re review your photos and uh
2:38
yeah thank you for checking out the st5 oh yeah there's that proprietary USB
2:42
connection on the bottom I no I don't really like to see those I'd rather see
2:46
a normal USB uh mini connector but what are you going to do here's where you put
2:50
in the uh oh that oh yeah the battery as well
2:56
as a Micro SD card really
3:01

3:04
like this supports micro SD okay well
