Capable Micro Camera with Dual View for selfies
2

I bought this camera used from a friend who owns a pawnshop for $20 last year, and for a micro compact it takes excellent photos, in good light.

The ST700 is packed with features like a touch screen full HD video, internally stabilized lens, program mode, scene modes, children modes, art filters, dual view for selfies, and it's about as tiny as a camera gets. The lens is an excellent Schneider Kreuznach 26mm 5X optical zoom, that takes tack sharp photos in the daylight.

This camera is smaller than a pack of cigarettes, and fits easily in a shirt pocket.

This was an expensive camera for it's type, when it was new, and it shows. The construction is very good, and the camera performs about as a well as a micro camera can be expected to perform.
