CNET Asia Review

By Leonard Goh

Very good

7.8

out of 10

View score

The good: Front LCD well-implemented for self-portraits and more; classy-looking; fast performance.

The bad: Battery life could be better; front LCD unresponsive at times; picture quality deteriorates at ISO 400.

The bottom line: The ST550 is a breath of fresh air to the otherwise stagnant compact camera segment, and the unique front LCD serves a greater function than just for self-portraits.

In the end decided on this as I thot the Dual LCD was a great concept. It turned out to be a really useful feature especially for self shots. For those who usually travel alon and does not have the luxury of having another person taking your photo.. the additional front LCD work wonders. Pictures are generally sharp with the help of the anti-shake and the low light shots are surprisingly good for a compact camera with f3.5 aperture. But I guess the thing I really liked was how easy I learned the user interface. It was a breeze to nagivate around and everything is logically grouped. Transfering the photos to my laptop ... Read more
