Samsung ST500, ST550: dual LCDs mean it's all about you

Front-facing touchscreen LCD helps you frame those self-portraits

Samsung has announced two new compact cameras featuring dual touch LCDs – one on the front and one on the back.

The ST500 and ST550 digital compacts both fill up the traditionally unused surface next to the lens with a 1.5in touchscreen, allowing you to frame shots from the front or view shooting mode icons.

Once you're happy you've got your look just right, a tap of the LCD will focus and take the shot.

On the rear is a more conventional 3in (ST500) or 3.5in (ST550) touchscreen. That aside, both of Samsung's new compact snappers share a 12.2MP sensor, 4.6x optical zoom through the 27mm Schneider-Kreuznach lens and 720p video recording.
No news so far from Samsung on when the ST500 and ST550 might be released, and what they'll cost.
