Here is a review about Samsung ST1000 GPS digital camera.

People always want something from their products. From pixel competition in the digital camera market, all makers have produced products with high pixels that people couldn’t feel difference any more, and keep releasing new products to satisfy customers’ new needs. However, from now, no one can tell they satisfy customers, because of the ST1000(CL65) from Samsung Digital Imaging.

With the size of 99.8 X 60.8 X 18.9mm and fresh color, the ST1000(CL65) has most of the functions and technology people imagined. Especially, it has the most difficult network functions as a digital camera such as Bluetooth2.0, DLNA, GPS and WiFi.


“In the morning, on the way to work, I started the day with taking pictures in a new coffee shop, uploading it on Picasa, and telling it to friends. At a lunch time, I took pictures of co-workers with out-focusing and emailed the pictures of the meeting place. After work, I sent a picture of a restaurant to my friend, and saw the pictures of night scenery on a HDTV by connecting wireless DLNA.”


This story had been kind of a dream before the ST1000(CL65) was released. However, now it’s real.

The appearance of the ST1000(CL65) with 156g of weight is so great. Not only the appearance. Especially, the Schneider lens without protrusion makes the design better and supports optical 5x zoom with 35-175mm focus length, F3.6-4.8, and 12.2M pixels.


Next to the Samsung logo, internal antenna is included for various communications.

On the top of the product, an antenna for GPS, Status lamp, Zoom, Power, and Shutter buttons are located.

This picture is that someone is taking pictures with the ST1000(CL65). The 1.15M pixels 3.5” (8.9cm) wide full touch LCD shows the image as it is and supports various touch functions.


Especially, using GPS, the GPS option on the right side in a blur color displays ON, and it gives the information of your present location. The information covers up to precinct and famous cities in the world can be displayed.


Let’s upload pictures on Picasa displaying images with their location.

This is the screen of Picasa I uploaded a picture on with the GPS function. Because it also displays the location when taking a shot, the exact location which the picture was taken is displayed with coordinates. Therefore, you can share not only the pictures but also the locations with your friends, so you don’t need to have a question of the location any more.
