UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS to commenter #565
{LAURA CARTER!} on winning a BRAND NEW
Samsung ST550/TL225 Touchscreen Digital Camera!

On my MomTV.com live webshow earlier today, I mentioned that I had a surprise for you all… I wanted SO badly to share with you my secret, but I had to wait on confirmation that it was official before revealing it. I certainly didn’t want the sponsor to back out at the last minute and leave me to disappoint you! I received that confirmation and am elated to inform you all that Samsung Imaging has agreed to sponsor a giveaway for my webshow viewers and blog readers! What does this mean exactly? One of YOU will be receiving a BRAND NEW 12.2 MP Samsung ST550/TL225 (2View) Touchscreen digital camera. And folks, this isn’t just ANY old digicam we’re talking about. This is an innovation in digital technology that takes point and shoot photography to an entirely new level of style, sophistication, and ease! With this camera, you literally CANNOT go wrong with your shots.

COULD THIS POSSIBLY GET ANY MORE EXCITING? No? Y’all don’t know me very well, do you?! LOL As if the prospect of just HOLDING this sexy little device isn’t making your heart flutter enough, Samsung is also throwing in a 2GB memory card so that your holiday photo taking isn’t limited by even the 55MB internal memory storage already available. Do you love Samsung yet? We thought so!

The Samsung 2View is not even available yet in US stores, but can be purchased through Amazon.com for around $300 {marked down for the moment from $349} with free super saver shipping! With face recognition technology allowing you to store up to 20 of your most-photographed faces for it to remember and search your galleries for easy pinpointing later, this is the top of the line when it comes to compact cameras! Want to see all the photos you’ve taken of Aunt Sally? Now, that’s not a problem! This attractive little number is a MUST ADD ITEM to your holiday shopping list this Christmas. The 2View boasts not one, but TWO touchscreen LCDs which function much like the iPhone – very responsive, very intuitive! Why a screen on front, you ask? This is not only self-portrait HEAVEN, but it also has child mode which, when activated, flashes entertaining characters to encourage your baby to give you that precious little grin they’re hiding :) The screen also acts as a visual countdown when utilizing timed photos! In addition to photos, this baby also gives you high quality HD videos of up to 1,280 x 720!

Want to see the camera for yourself? Not a problem! We will be featuring the camera LIVE – in all of its glory – on the December 3rd episode of Random Chaos hosted by MomTV.com at 11pm EST…
