This is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 14.2MP CCD sensor and a 7x optical zoom lens covering 31-217mm equivalent. Optical image stabilization helps keep shots steady at the longer end of that range, and the fixed 3.5-inch touchscreen handles menu navigation and live view since there's no viewfinder here. Samsung ST5000 price in Malaysia starts from RM1159.

ISO tops out at 3200 natively (4800 usable, 6400 with boost), which is typical for a compact CCD sensor of this era. You get scene modes and a few metering options, but there's no manual exposure, aperture priority, or shutter priority, so this is squarely an automatic-shooting camera rather than one for hands-on control.

Video maxes out at 1280 x 720 at 30fps, saved as Motion JPEG with stereo audio. Storage relies on microSD/microSDHC cards since only 13MB of internal memory is built in. A macro focus range down to 1cm is handy for close-up shots, and the whole unit weighs a light 160g.
