Samsung ST5500 Camera w/ WiFi, AMOLED

Samsung ST5500/5000 is the new WiFi-enabled camera has been unveiled at the CES today (Samsung CL80 in the US). It’s going to be the start of the point-and-shoot-and-upload category of cameras this year.


Samsung CL80
14.2MP sensor
Schneider-Kreuznach lens
7x optical zoom
3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen
720p HD video recording @ 30fps
HDMI
WiFi 802.11 b/g w/ DLNA
Bluetooth 2.0

Samsung has not indicated any price point for this model and won’t be releasing it until March 2010. My guess is that this would go around for Php30k but don’t quote me on that.

    Both models also have shutter buttons that are angled forward making it more comfortable and natural to hold and shoot.

    Well, we can say point-and-shot digital cams improved a lot over the years like this new wifi capabilities, much improved cam lens (14.2MP), 720p HD Video, AMOLED,etc. However, as smartphone cam quality getting closer to digital cam, i think people will prefer all-in-one gadget smartphone. There is smartphone available these days which can also capture 720p HD Video, AMOLED Screen, 8MP or even more 12.1MP (wl of course HD Cam lens because it’s optimize for HD)and the rest of cool stuff for 3D gaming and productivity.

    One word of caution: Be careful what photos you take. If the auto-upload feature is there, then any photos you take can be posted online.

    That is so cool! Imagine, you can directly upload the picture you’d taken in the net.

    I’m just wondering about its battery consumption though (wifi, bluetooth, etc.).

    Its a great start for 2010. Nice gadget!

    HD video recording is quickly becoming a norm on digital cameras

    A optimized gadget for 2010, sooner models can have a built-in browser. Good Start!

  12. Avatar for Abe Olandres Abe Olandres says:

    @pedro – no built-in browser there so surfing is out.

  13. Avatar for Pedro Pedro says:

    would the WIFi function be usefull for surfing the net or just for uploading pix? that would be great for bloggers

    @calvin – I think the uploads are web-optimized. That means your 5MB photos become just 100KB before it’s uploaded. Have to verify that though.

  15. Avatar for Edgar Edgar says:

    I hear this one has a built-in address book for those uploads. Neat.

  16. Avatar for Calvin Calvin says:

    so how long will it take for the camera to upload those 14mp photos or even 8mp photos to your flickr account? maubos ba muna battery nya bago magawa yun?

  17. Avatar for Francis Isberto Francis Isberto says:
