Samsung's ST5000 and WiFi-infused ST5500 digicams emerge in Korea
How's a company to follow-up on a point-and-shoot camera with two LCDs? Why, by tossing out a new one with integrated WiFi, of course! Originally teased last month, Samsung has gone ahead and rightfully introduced its new ST5000 and ST5500 over in South Korea, both of which tout 14.2 megapixel sensors, a 7x optical zoom and your choice of black or orange color schemes. The ST5000 gets gifted with a 3.5-inch rear touchscreen, while the ST5500 steps it up ever-so-slightly with a 3.7-inch AMOLED panel. The both of 'em can handle 720p movies at 30fps (H.264 format), and the HDMI output ensures that these will easily pipe footage to your nearby television. If you're looking for built-in wireless for uploading or emailing pictures sans a PC, you'll need to focus on the ST5500, but most every other internal feature on the big boy is also on the lesser guy. These seem to be headed out to South Korean shops as we speak, and we know that they'll be landing within the next month over in Britain for £279.99 ($417) and £349.99 ($521), respectively. As for you Yanks? Be patient, we guess.

What's the point of having Wi-Fi in a camera?
I never uplosd photos or share them... they just sit on my hard drive.
@samin100 hmm that is a VERY good question samin. But perhaps, just perhaps now, other people don't behave and use their gadgets exactly like you. I know, it's crazy to think that. Afterall, everyone wipes with their left hand. But I guess on the off chance someone DID want WiFi these kinds of cameras were made. I doubt anyone would want to upload photos online though, except maybe those 4 people that use facebook, myspace, that tweetpic thing, blogs, and some random other people.
@samin100
So why not use Wifi to get the photos onto your hard drive?
I'm buying a camera this year and WiFi is the highest priority on my list for the camera or I will at least get an SD-WiFi. Why? I'm going to a developing country this year and I'm going to ensure that my photos are uploaded within minutes of them being taken. If I'm mugged, cameras can be replaced, photo's can't.
Its probably sad (or shows how many tech sites I follow) that I recognized this girl from another samsung ad...
Those are nice. I still prefer the TL-350 though.
Nice melons!
@Wesley pears, actually.
+1 for strategic placement of fruit.
@Eternal Density
She's got two big ripe nashis there.
This makes a pear of puns.
If this is a Samsung ad, why is everyone thinking about the apples?
*insert comment about girl, that has only a little bit of relevance to the product*
