Here is a user review about Samsung ST550 digtital camera.

Functions of digital cameras have been diversified. Therefore, more functions should be added and are supported in one button. Digital camera companies try to satisfy users by releasing digital cameras smaller, slimmer, and having more various functions. However, on the other hand, Samsung starts to install Touch on digital cameras with releasing simpler, slimmer products. That is the ST series from Samsung.

Samsung Digital Imaging has adopted touch technology to the ST550(TL225). It makes the LCD bigger 3.5” by eliminating buttons on the back. And the touch of the Haptic can be used in the ST550(TL225).

+ Acting with gravity?

The UI of the ST550(TL225) has followed previous intuitive interface, so Samsung camera users can easily be adapted to the Touch UI. By adopting Smart Gesture (Motion Recognition), it supports a perfect touch function. Smart Gesture is a function to integrate Mode setting, Play, Drag, Rotation, Delete, Magnification, and so on.

This is the mode change function of Smart Gesture. On the right side of the LCD, clicking the mode change icon with motion to up/down/left/right side, you can change Video, Smart Auto, and Program mode. So by one touch, you can change the setting and take a shot depending on the situation.
