Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I saw these on the most recent version of Geek TV and just though they were too cool!

Samsung has announced two new cameras both with dual LCDs, the second being on the front.

The ST225 and ST220 compact camera both have the new front LCDs.

To activate the 1.5″ front LCD, you simply tap, and the camera turns on its self-portrait mode after which smile detection or timer can take over. Great if you’re snapping a picture of yourself.

Another thoughtful application of ST225’s front LCD is to capture a child’s attention by playing short clips of cartoon animation.

The timer mode will also show a visual countdown so everyone knows exactly how much time until it snaps a photo.

The $350 DualView ST225 has 12.2MP, 27mm wide angle lens, 4.6x optical zoom, 720p H.264 video capture, and 3.5″ touchscreen with 1,152k pixels and haptic effect.

The $300 ST220 is slighter thinner, and sports a smaller 3″ touchscreen with 230k pixels.

You can learn more about both cameras on the Samsung web site.
