The Samsung ST50 is a slimline digital camera that should fit into a pocket without much of a problem. The camera comes with a few fun features. These include smile detection where the ST50 fires off a shot if it detects someone is smiling. There is also a special beauty mode. This can be applied when a picture is being taken or afterwards. It helps to brighten skin tones and to give skin a smoother appearance. With face detection processing the ST50 is able to focus on up to nine faces in any one shot. There is also a blink detection setting. This alerts you to the fact that someone has blinked.
Like other Samsung digital cameras the ST50 can be charged from a wall socket or from a USB socket on a computer. Samsung supplies a cable, but there is no need for a separate charger unit.
Another useful innovation Samsung have started to include on their cameras is a recycle bin. This means if you accidentally delete a picture it can be retrieved from the bin.
