Samsung ST80 WiFi digicam packs 14.2MP and 720p HD video
Samsung has outed its latest digital camera, and the ST80 packs WiFi along with its 14.2-megapixel sensor. As with other Samsung wireless cameras, the ST80 can offload its photos via email or through direct upload to Facebook, Picasa, YouTube or PhotoBucket, and the company even throws in a Boingo WiFi hotspot account too; alternatively there’s DLNA streaming support. As for the camera itself, that has a 3x optical zoom and a 3-inch touchscreen for the main controls, and can record 720p 30fps HD video. There are the usual point-and-shoot modes for easier photography, including a nifty sounding Smart Crop which promises to automagically straighten out shots that were taken at an angle. That should prove handy for pictures of the horizon where you’re wondering why are the ships aren’t sliding off the edge of the frame. There’s also an address book for storing frequently-used email recipients, and the whole thing measures 92 x 55.4 x 18.5 mm. Look for it on shelves in September 2010,
