Tilt it to one side, and the Samsung ST500's Smart Gesture UI will start the perfect slide show without a single touch! With the ST500's built-in Acceleration Sensor, your gestures work as your commands. Manage camera functions, rotate or delete photos, create special slide shows and more all without lifting a finger.

If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open (and leave your camcorder at home) the ST500 is right for you. You'll get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second. And a recording time that's 4x longer than MJPEG video. You even can use the 4.6X Zoom to get up close and vividly personal. And when things get dicey, you can even pause your recording. You'll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.
