Samsung ST500 High Resolution Images : Examples

I have been testing out the Samsung ST500 and I have found that it is really very good for a Point and Shoot Camera.

Yes, the camera has the funky front LCD screen and you could argue that this is simply a gimmick, however I have found it quite amusing and somewhat helpful, especially for the countdown timer which displays nice large numbers on it. If you are the type of person who likes to take shots of yourself then you will surely love it.

The camera can go to 12.2 mega pixels however the 9 mega pixel wide setting is the best. It fills the entirety of the rear touch screen which at 3 inches is pretty great.

The images are a little bit noiser than a half decent DSLR but after a little bit of downsize sharpening, the final result is pretty damn good.

I decided to upload 5 example images which I have copied directly from the camera and uploaded to Photobucket Imgur. Unfortunately this compresses the images and destroys all the EXIF data, but they have retained their original resolution.

I did absolutely no post processing on these images whatsoever. Other than the compressed upload, they are exactly what you get from the camera.

Well, it seems as though Imgur also resizes my images. The first image below seemed to be preserved at its original size, but I noticed the rest of my images were shrunk slighly. I give up.

Enjoy the samples below from the ST500. The images you would get yourself will be slightly larger and have 20% better JPEG compresson.
