Cellphones with front-facing cameras may well be your complete rage without delay, but Samsung continues to guide the sphere of cameras with front-facing screens — it\’s bringing its total count of DualView cameras to six with the recent flagship ST100 (pictured) and ST600. Moreover sharing a new larger 1.8-inch front screen, both cams feature an identical 14.2 megapixel sensor with ISO 3200 sensitivity, a 3.5-inch rear display, and a new \” jump shot\” mode that uses the front screen to cue a bunch of folks to jump and then fires off three quick snaps to capture the action. Adorable, we know. You\’re also getting 720p video recording, a gesture-driven touchscreen interface, and smart face recognition which will recognize up to six manually chosen people and 14 automatically registered people. The enormous difference between the two is the lens — the $329 ST600 sports a protruding 5x wide angle optical zoom lens, while the $349 ST100 slims things down with a new 5x internal optical zoom. No exact word on ship dates yet, but you\’ll manage to pick both of these up in quite a few metallic colors after they do hit — joy. PR after the break.
