To go along with this great new camera, I was recently sent a new book: Mamarazzi: Every Mom's Guide To Photographing Kids by professional photographer and self-proclaimed mamarazzo Stacy Wasmuth. If you're looking for a compact, reasonably-priced yet high-quality camera, this is the one for you. I took some close-ups (my adorable nephew and godson on his first birthday):Īnd some distance shots (the gorgeous beach at Bon Echo Park). I know you're just dying to see samples of my work, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. This camera takes a MicroSD card, which is not included. I found that the display screen didn't do the photos justice, as they turned out much sharper and with better colours on the computer screen and when printed at a photo lab, so don't be fooled if you test drive one and aren't thrilled with what you see on the display. The Samsung ST30 is easy on the pocketback, retailing at under a hundred bucks.It's very easy to hook up to a computer, and comes with Intelli-Studio software on the enclosed CD-ROM.There's a rechargeable battery (just plug the camera in to a power source to recharge).It has a Smart Auto feature for point-and-shoot fans like myself, but all sorts of different settings (portrait, night, etc.) for those who want to get a little more specific.

I mean, first of all, check out all the cute colours:īut what you can't see in the picture is that this camera weighs in under 90 grams, and is a pocket-sized 82 x 52 x 17 mm. I've been shopping around for a new camera lately, and was excited to get the chance to review the new Samsung ST30.
