Manual of product ST550
Editorial note
The Samsung ST550 stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its 12.4 MP CCD sensor, allowing for precise details and vibrant colors. The 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD enhances the user experience by providing an intuitive and immersive interface. Additionally, the built-in image stabilization feature ensures sharp photos and videos, even in motion, while the ability to record video in HD enriches the capturing experience. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. Limited compatibility, particularly the lack of support for Mac systems, may restrict its use for some users. The 100 MB internal memory can quickly prove insufficient for those looking to store many photos without frequently changing memory cards. Furthermore, the maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may seem outdated compared to current standards. The 5x digital zoom and 4.6x optical zoom, while convenient, may not meet the expectations of photographers looking to capture details from greater distances. In terms of scoring, the user experience is rated at 85, highlighting the intuitive interface. The image quality receives a score of 78, although the video resolution is a weak point. The battery life is deemed adequate with a score of 80. The modern design receives a score of 75, while the value for money is rated at 70, due to the internal memory and limited compatibility. The features, appreciated for their versatility, score 82, while ease of use is rated at 76, with manual focus potentially seen as a drawback for some users. Overall, the Samsung ST550 is an attractive compact camera, ideal for those seeking high image quality and a user-friendly interface, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to its memory and compatibility limitations.Score details
