High completion Convergence Compact digital camera
A new digital camera comes up like the expression Technology makes convergence, and the convergence makes the best. The ST1000(CL65) recently released from Samsung Digital Imaging is that. It has the GPS to display the location of users. This can transfer photos on the web through WiFi and to devices supporting Bluetooth. In addition, the ST1000(CL65) has a lot of more convenient functions. Let’s take a look at the new unique digital camera.
Combination of 3 colors
Generally, it has a no-glossy black body. When it’s off, the black LCD and the black body are consistent in design. The front part made of metal with hairline and coated has also practice. Between the black body and the front, there’s a unique color line, and it looks different due to the color on the front for the same model.
When holding the camera, it’s kind of heavy. It might be because of the metal on the front, but I think it’s because of the 156g of weight (Except battery and memory), and it’s caused by GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth modules. The size is 99.8×60.8×18.9mm.
GPS reminding of memories
If you have an experience to try to remember the place where you took the picture, the ST1000(CL65) is a good idea. The GPS receiver records the location automatically, so you don’t have to remember it. It’s so trustable because it has adopted WGS-84 system which has been adopted by most of the car navigations. You can match the picture GPS tag recorded with the map in the Intelli-Studio of the ST1000(CL65) or check the location on the web site like Picasa supporting Map searching service. However, in the area with a lot of buildings, the receiving rate of GPS is not that good. It’s the same as car navigations couldn’t get signals in the basement, but taking pictures is made in indoors or downtown, so it’s definitely weakness of the ST1000(CL65).
Using the built-in Intelli-Studio, you can check the location of pictures.
If uploading pictures on the web sites supporting GPS like Google, Picasa, etc., you can easily see the location.
A lot of people store photos in a computer. They just change the precious moment to digital signals made of 0 and 1 and forget. The ST1000(CL65) can prevent this situation.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0
The ST1000(CL65) has Wi-Fi in the body. If you can connect free AP (Access Point), you can upload pictures and videos on the web site. Of course, emailing is possible. You don’t need to worry about the money like the TV commercial worrying about the money of web-surfing. Besides, it also supports transfer between the ST1000(CL65)s, range of contents sharing, and the TV connection through DLNA. There’s some limitation to upload pictures using Wi-Fi. The size of pictures is limited to 2MB, and the video is 320×240 for up to 30 sec. Considering YouTube supporting 1280×720 HD resolution, it’s not satisfactory. And also 30 seconds are not enough to record a video. I hope the firmware will be updated later.
It supports Bluetooth 2.0. Unlike a cell phone, it’s not for connection of headsets. This will be useful to transfer pictures to cell phones or PDA. However, the size of pictures will change to 640×480.
The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the ST1000(CL65) is incomparable to USB. Through easy connection, you can share your pictures. That’s the point. We need to see the improvement of Samsung Digital Imaging as the world’s first Wi-Fi Bluetooth digital camera.
