Sleek, Innovative, and Cheap - The Samsung TL220

Recently arriving on the scene to take the digital camera world by storm is a brand new offering from Samsung. The new TL220 DualView digital camera is not only being lauded for its deeply innovative features, but also for its simple to grasp interface and the great price attached to it.

Out of the box, the Samsung TL220 comes equipped with two LCD screens. The front LCD is perfect for taking self-portraits. This 1.5" LCD is very user friendly. A simple tap on the screen gets things started. There is even a Child Mode, that displays a playful image designed to focus the child's eyes while you set up your shots of them for family photos and the like.

The back 3.0" LCD is also of the touch-screen variety. Both screens utilize Samsung's Smart Gesture User Interface. This basically takes the term "ease-of-use" to a whole new level. Turn on the camera, tap either of the screens (the front LCD will be pre-set to take a self portrait), smile and voila, instant photo! This interface also incorporates Samsung's Smile Shot, Smart Face Recognition and Smart Auto features that further reduce the complexity of picture taking down to a sweet simple science.

Bottom line, this camera is pure fun. It takes professional looking photos and records and outputs 720p HD video at a speedy 30 frames per second. It has significantly more room for storage and filming than standard MPEG4 or MJPEG. Lastly, it has an HDMI output that allows you to view your videos on any HDTV or hi-def monitor. Other cool features include the ability to time your shots and Advanced Dual Image Stabilization, which eliminates the ever-annoying blur effect.

The TL220 is a very cost-effective, feature-rich model usually coming in at a retail price of just around $299 or less.
