Moving subjects are a problem because of the capture lag. Even anticipating movement doesnt help because you are always a beat behind the action. ...

Poor battery life

Feels great, looks sharp , Rear LCD screen to die for , Front LCD good for the self-portrait obsessed
Too many megapixels , Preference for microSD cards , Easy to lose proprietary cable
Self-portrait screen or not, this camera marks Samsung's coming of age. Aside from a few too many megapixels and battery life that's too short, it's a delight to behold and use....
Responsive and accurate touch screen, takes reasonably clear pictures, commendable low-light performance
Poor battery life, front screen always uses smile shutter to automatically take photos, no separate battery charger, menu system needs labels, requires a MicroSD card
We like Samsung’s innovative addition of a second screen to the ST550, but this digital camera could be improved. Its battery life is poor, the menu system needs more information, and it could use some more manual controls. However, it can take some...

Moving subjects are a problem because of the capture lag. Even anticipating movement doesnt help because you are always a beat behind the action.
This camera is loaded with the essential gimmicks – face detection and recognition, smile and blink automation of shutter firing and so on, but it also permits a reasonable degree of user control. Samsung divides customers into six categories, one o...

This camera is loaded with essential gimmicks — face detection and recognition, smile and anti-blink shutter automation and so on. It also permits a reasonable degree of user control. Its interesting, well thought out and worth consideration by the...
Abstract: There have been touch screen cameras and camcorders before but none has approached the level and elegance of control of the Samsung ST550. In many ways, the camera parallels the touch experience of Apple’s iPhone and iPod devices. And that’s saying so...
Very solidfeeling camera, Innovative secondary display on the front, Very large touchscreen interface, Good quality photos, Plenty of features and options
Quite a bit heavier than expected, Could result in portraits with subjects looking to the right, Too expensive (in Canada), Touchscreen is not glovefriendly
Like Looking into an Off-Center Mirror I have an articulating LCD on my Canon S3 IS digital camera, so I can swing what is normally the rear LCD so that it shoots out the side and faces the front. I’ve used this feature on several occasions, but it...
With the best touchscreen interface of any current camera and a useful secondary LCD for easy self-portraits, the Samsung ST550 is a real crowd-pleaser. The resulting poor battery life and so-so image quality unfortunately ultimately detract from the...
High-resolution widescreen LCD, Touch interface easy to use and responsive, Wide angle lens with 4.6x optical zoom, Surprisingly useful front LCD, Excellent build quality, Very good image quality, 720p HD video
Zoom actually only 6 discrete steps, User interface sometimes uses cryptic English, Very slippery case, easy to drop, Front LCD a bit dim, Very tippy resting on flat surface, Colors a bit oversaturated, No HDMI cable included in box, Bundled software Windows only...
A triple base hit as far as higher-end slim digicams go, with many photographic charms. The widescreen LCD with touch interface is well executed and polished, the photo quality is everything one would expect from the premium class, and the front LCD, w...
If you’re looking for a sleek and easy to use point and shoot camera, the Samsung ST550 could very well be for you. It’s stylish looks and giant touchscreen draw plenty of attention where ever you go. Turn on the secondary front LCD screen and the wow ...
