The rise of Facebook, MySpace et al has meant that more people than ever are taking self-portraits – and the Samsung ST550 is possibly the ideal compact digital camera for capturing that self-shot pout. Equipped with a second screen on its front side, it lets you see yourself while you’re shooting, er, yourself. But is this a mere gimmick to make a pretty standard snapper look sexier? Read our full Samsung ST550 review and we’ll tell you.

Update: Samsung has just sent through official confirmation of the ST500 and ST550. They will be on sale later this month, but we don’t have pricing info just yet. The cameras also feature gesture controls and one-touch auto focus, allowing to you use the touchscreen to set the auto focus point. The front screens are also touch sensitive, and you can snap yourself by a simple tap of the finger once you’re satisfied you’re in frame – hence Samsung’s slogan of “Tap and Take”.
