Review summary: Will this win a place in your pocket?

Pros: Battery charging in-camera, Frame Guide mode, easy to use, good build quality

Cons: Smart mode not brilliant, on HD video capture

Verdict: The Samsung ST50 is an attractive looking and easy to use camera, at a reasonable price

Review summary: This 12.2 megapixel camera has a 35-105mm (film equivalent) lens. It is not image stabilised. The large (75mm) LCD screen is of average resolution and useless in sunlight. Dimensions are tiny with a face area equal to a credit card and a mere 14.2mm ...

Pros: The image quality is generally very good, when all the conditions come together precisely. Focus is fast and accurate. Resolution is good. At ISO200 images are very good. Surprisingly it is even possible to get acceptably clean images at ISO speeds up ...

Cons: Both auto exposure and auto white balance are erratic. Generally the camera over exposes by at least one stop. And the auto white balance, which is acceptable most of the time, can be easily upset, resulting in some weird colours. The absence of a ...

Verdict: The appeal of this camera is its small size and attractive appearance. It is a true go-anywhere camera which, used intelligently, delivers very good results. Needless to say most owners will put it into Smart Auto mode and leave it there, which is a ...

Review summary: The 12-megapixel ST50 super-slim camera has a real air of quality about it, thanks to a weighty stainless-steel body and high-quality LCD display. With its 'smart auto' mode, the camera can also take care of all the picture settings for you, if you ...

Pros: Attractive styling and finish ; good-quality LCD ; easy to use

Cons: Limited zoom range ; mediocre picture quality ; apos ; smart auto&apos ; mode makes some questionable decisions

Verdict: The Samsung ST50 is a very pretty little camera, but it's not the only one, and there's nothing special about it that makes it stand out from the crowd. Instead of loads of technology, we'd prefer a better lens or a wider zoom range

Review summary: With the compact camera market jam packed with various almost-clone models, the real test comes in features and image quality. The Samsung ST50 is a 12.2 Megapixel compact which passes in both categories but doesn't quite excel at either.

Pros: Attractive design ; Easy to use ; Brilliant image quality in daylight ; Beauty Shot ; Blink mode ; large LCD screen

Cons: Mediocre image quality in moderate to low light ; Video captures in XviD ; Microphone could have been better

Review summary: The new ST50 from Samsung is their latest ultra compact digicam that is only 14mm thick.

Verdict: However,clicking pictures with a camera this small is a task, as you don't geta proper grip and the stainless steel body tends to slip if your handsare sweaty
