SAMSUNG SMART
CAMERA ST200F
CAN A CAMERA WITH INBUILT WIFI
RIVAL A SMARTPHONE?
Smartphones – we don’t deny they’re brilliant.
A product that once only made phone calls
now lets us browse the net, keep our diaries
in check, listen to music and take and share
photos, all in one device. Taking a pic and
instantly uploading it online is no longer a
novelty – it’s a normal part of our working
day. While phone cameras can be pretty
good – the new iPhone 5 boasts 8MP – and
convenient to use, the quality isn’t quite there
yet. And that’s where the smart camera
comes in, specifically the Samsung ST200F
point-and-shoot camera with in-built WiFi.
Available from around £115, it’s incredible
value for money. So light and compact it
can slip into your pocket, it has 16.1MP, 10x
optical zoom and an impressive ISO range
(
from 80 to 3,200), so the images will be
vastly clearer, cleaner and more vibrant than
anything taken on a smartphone. Uploading
your images and video straight to Facebook,
Picasa, YouTube, or your PC or tablet is a
breeze and, for creative snappers, Samsung
has included some fun shooting modes,
including split shot, artistic brush and motion
photo. For fantastic snaps of your travels that
you can put online in seconds, yet also cherish
beyond Facebook, the Samsung ST200F is a
smart choice indeed.
