It’s camera day, apparently. Hot on the heels of another line-up of cameras getting announced from another company, we’ve got Samsung pulling the curtain up and revealing two brand new models for their DualView line of cameras. These are the cameras with those front-facing screens, so you can watch yourself take a picture of yourself. Just in case your Facebook needed another drop-down shot of yourself, at least now you’ll know your face is perfectly in line. Please welcome the Samsung DualView ST600 and ST100 into the family, folks.
Both cameras feature a larger front display, measuring in now at 1.8-inches, and they’re packing a 14.2MP sensor with ISO 3200 sensitivity. On the back, you’ll find yourself a roomy 3.5-inch display. That display has a gesture-based user interface touchscreen, so hopefully you’ll never get bored as you take your next photo. Both cameras also feature 720p video recording, and face recognition software that can pick up to 14 visages on its own, or you can choose up to 6 on your own.
The differences comes in the lens, and price. For the former, the ST600 rocks that 5x wide angle optical zoom, protruding from the face of the camera. While the ST100 has a 5x optical zoom, but it’s of the internal variety. As you can see from the image above. As far as pricing goes, the ST100 will cost you a cool $349, and the ST600 $329. No word on when these cameras will actually make it to the retail market, but you should expect to see plenty of colors when they do.
