Samsung adds versatility to 2View Family with Two New Models

Samsung Electronics. Co. Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technology, today unveiled the latest additions to its 2View camera portfolio, the 14.2 mega-pixel ST600 and ST100. Shifting consumer photo-taking behavior to establish Samsung 2View cameras as the new standard in compact camera category and reinforcing the company’s position as a global leader in the digital imaging industry and a driver of innovation, the ST600 and ST100 build off of the success of the ST550(TL225) and ST500(TL220), offering consumers a stylish design, a full-range of smart and easy-to-use features, and of course Samsung’s revolutionary dual LCD technology.

The new flagship models of the Samsung 2View camera family, the ST600 and ST100, each receive an upgrade to their front LCD screens, activated by a simple tap, which now measure 1.8” compared to the 1.5” front LCD screens found on their 2View predecessors. With larger front LCD screens, the ST600 and ST100 make it easier for consumers to properly frame themselves in their photos and videos and be part of the action by stepping out from behind the camera and joining friends and family in front. The Samsung 2View ST600 and ST100 are also available in four stylish, mood-inspired colors, including hot pink, gold, black and purple, and are encased in a slim and sleek compact frame with a metallic finish to deliver a new sense of fun and modern functionality that will ensure users stand out from the crowd.

“Today’s launch is an important landmark for Samsung as it reinforces our position as a leading innovator in the digital camera market,” said SJ Park, President of the Digital Imaging Business, Samsung Electronics. “Unlike any other feature found on digital cameras, consumers immediately recognize the value of what our dual LCD technology can do for them. There is no learning curve or technical understanding that must be achieved as it is a natural extension of what our customers are already doing. Samsung is looking to simplify that task with the new ST600 and ST100, ensuring they have the ability to take the perfect profile shot, and never have to miss that perfect picture moment with family and friends, even if they’re not behind the camera.”

I’ve visited the Bournemouth beach in a long time. I live in UK and Bournemouth is like a second home to me. I have friends who are just like a family and there are memories we’ve shared together, and a beautiful sea with endless beach. On an exceptionally clear day, I decide to just walk along the beach.

The weather is still cold but there’s no way the surfers will miss out on a lovely day like this. Surfers are leisurely enjoying the afternoon moving freely, entrusting themselves to the wind and the waves.

A family flying a kite. Father holds the kite and reads the direction of the wind and when he shouts one, two, three the daughter quickly releases the string and launches the kite into the sky. They were laughing endlessly and thanks to the family, I was able to smile as well.

After leaving Bournemouth before returning to Hull, I stopped by London. Spring was definitely in the air after Easter in London as well, so I decided to walk along the Thames River enjoying the warm spring weather and the cool river breeze.

When I was walking along the river, an eye-catching sight made me stop. Who appear to be father and son were carving the Homer Simpson couple on the sand. This father and son with a perfect teamwork have been working for 6 hours since the morning. There were no signs of fatigue and even when a lot of people gathered to watch them, they kept on working. Truly a wonderful father and son couple that matches with the beautiful weather!

One of the things I was impressed about traveling in Barcelona was the colorful exteriors of the buildings. There seems to be no ordinary building in Barcelona. They may be ordinary in shape and structure but each building boasted of unique and beautiful wall designs.

I think local market is one of the places where you can closely observe lives of the local people. On Ramblas street (Las Ramblas) in Barcelona there is a historical market named La Boqueria that has been around since 1882.

Known as the finest market in Europe, like their reputation you can find everything here. Specially one of the most interesting things to see is the way they display the goods. The vendor’s displaying skills are outstanding, it’s almost as if there are showing off what display is all about.

It was the first time for me to see selling fruits hanging up. It was quite an exotic scene but maybe because it was a part of the local market, somehow it felt friendly.

Barcelona is a port city famously known for delicious and fresh seafood. So the seafood is section is always busy and vibrant with many customers.

There are many tourist attractions in Barcelona but personally I think La Boqueria is the place you can experience and see the true sides of Barcelona.

As soon as I stepped into the airplane headed back to UK after a week of travelling in Barcelona, I started to miss Barcelona. The perfect scenery with the mild weather, the mountains and the sea. The cozy atmosphere where people know how to relax and enjoy siesta, and most of all, the nice Spanish people who always treat you with a smile on their face.
