Camera Overview — Samsung ST96

The Samsung ST96 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor with 14MP resolution, making it a straightforward option for everyday casual photography. The camera features a 2.7-inch LCD display, which serves as the primary framing and review interface since no viewfinder is present in the specifications. For autofocus, the ST96 uses a contrast detection system to lock onto subjects.

Image stabilization is handled digitally via an Electronic IS system, which helps reduce the appearance of camera shake in handheld shooting situations. The camera supports an ISO range from 100 to 3200, giving it reasonable flexibility across various lighting conditions. On the video side, the ST96 records at up to 30fps, though maximum video resolution is not specified in the available data.

The burst mode capability allows shooting at up to 10 frames per second, which is a notable feature for capturing fast-moving subjects in a camera of this class. Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects to other devices via USB. It is powered by a Lithium-Ion battery and has no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.

Weather sealing is not present on this body.
