Poor battery life
Front screen always uses smile shutter to automatically take photos
An interesting device with a focus on fun and functionality. The image results produced using its auto feature aren’t quite up to the standard expected for a £300 piece of kit. Seasoned photographers will therefore find this of more use than ne...
As I said earlier, I was quite eager to get my hands on the Dual Screen Samsung ST550 to see if it was something I would consider paying over £200 for, just for the extra portrait screen. For me personally I don't think so. Now don't get me w...

Inadequate battery life, Unimpressive image quality above ISO400, No audio recording while zooming in video mode
Overall, the Samsung ST550 is a stylish camera that offers many fun and exciting features, and good performance across different lighting situations. However, its price tag of Rs. 24,990 lands you in a place where you can get much more capable camera ...
