Camera Overview — Samsung ST50

The Samsung ST50 is a slim, pocketable point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor and housed in a brushed stainless steel body measuring just 94.2 x 55.7 x 16.6 mm and weighing 121.4g. It's a compact designed for casual, everyday shooting where portability is the priority. The camera captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4000x3000 pixels and offers a selection of color profiles including Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, and Negative, giving users some creative flexibility straight out of camera.

On the video side, it records up to 720p at 30fps. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary composing and reviewing tool, as there is no optical or electronic viewfinder. Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system with a single focus point.

Image stabilization is digital rather than optical. The ST50 accepts SD and SDHC memory cards and connects to a computer via USB. It runs on a dedicated SLB-10A Li-ion battery rated for approximately 150 shots per charge.

A built-in pop-up flash is included for low-light situations. ISO sensitivity spans from 80 to 3200. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
