[ST1000(CL65)] Slender deisgn with WiFi and GPS – Preview

Here is a user review about Samsung ST1000 digital camera.


Reborn with WiFi and GPS, ST1000(CL65)



In analog age, I mean when people used film cameras, they couldn’t imagine this big improvement of camera technology. In the past, the camera market demanded higher pixels and bigger lens. But now, the camera needs mobile and wireless with mobile life.


I shared the news which Dual LCD and GPS and WiFi camera will be installed in new Samsung cameras from Engadget through this blog. I’ve got a change to see and experience the camera.


The ST1000(CL65) is that model having Wireless+Link. The ST1000(CL65) supports not only taking/editing/enjoying, but also moving/sharing/touching as a new paradigm camera.


In 2 weeks, I’m going to preview and review the ST1000(CL65), and I’d like to talk about the Mobility and GPS/Bluetooth function of the ST1000(CL65) (Wireless Link ST1000(CL65)).





This product is a sample, so it might be different from an official product in appearance, performance, and quality.


<Appearance> The previous PL10 becomes smarter and sharper.


When I got the ST1000(CL65) first, I thought the PL10 becomes smarter. Looking at the letter GPS and WiFi, I started wondering the product.


Especially, it has Schneider lens optical 5x zoom 12.2M pixels. That means it has both delicacy and intelligence as a compact camera, so it looks very good for men’s mobile life.



It comes with wine red and dark blue in Korea. From this review, I’m going to show you the wine red body. Like you see from the top, GPS and ST1000(CL65) are clearly shown, and because it includes inner lens, the response of the lens is fast.


Besides, GPS module and some control buttons are properly arranged, but the slightly thick GPS module is insufficient to compose a perfect body line. But it’s wrapped around my hand.



This camera is a Full touch type. Following Full touch MP3 and Smart Full touch phone, the trend of cameras also changes to Full touch type.


The good LCD touch panel is located on the back, and Power/WiFi receiving lamp/Speaker and microphone/Play are arranged. On the top, Power, Shutter button, and Zoom in/out are located, so you can control everything with one hand. (I’m going to show how to use the touch from the review.)



This is a closer shot of the GPS module and Power/WiFi. You will see you can control everything by one hand. When recognizing the signal, the lamp is turned on.



This is Inner zoom lens, Flash spot, and GPS module. It shows the status of WiFi by the lamp on the back, but from the front side, you can only see the GPS status through the LCD screen. There should have been something to show you the status.


*When it comes to a smart phone, it shows the status of WiFi and GPS by a lamp.



I took a shot of the GPS indication. The slim line is so attractive.



The ST1000(CL65) includes a normal big capacity battery, but for a memory card, it supports MicroSD card, not SD/MMC. Using a separate MicroSD card adaptor, you can transfer files or through a transfer cable included in the ST1000(CL65), you can copy pictures or videos.
