Camera Overview — Samsung ST5000

The Samsung ST is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor housed in a slim hydro-formed metal body measuring 104 x 58 x 20 mm and weighing just 160g. Its standout feature is a large 3.5-inch fixed LCD touchscreen with a sharp 1,152,000-dot resolution, making it easy to frame shots and navigate menus without physical buttons. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system, delivering reliable performance in typical shooting conditions.

The camera covers an ISO range from 80 to 4800, giving it flexibility across a variety of lighting situations. For video, it supports up to 720p recording at 30fps. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is on board to help minimize camera shake during handheld shooting.

Storage is handled via microSD and microSDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB. The rechargeable Li-ion battery keeps things compact and travel-friendly. With no weather sealing and a fixed lens design, this camera is aimed squarely at casual shooters who want a stylish, pocketable camera that prioritizes ease of use and a premium feel through its metal construction.
