Customer Reviews

Samsung TL 220
I bought the Samsung TL 220 and just love it. It takes good and clear pictures. And has so many features that the other cameras don't have. I have not had any problems with my camera and would highly recommend this camera to all camera lovers. Only one little downfall, the battery goes quicker than other cameras but I assume that is because it is all touchscreen and would drain the battery quicker. Other than that I love it.

High on the novelty factor, but nothing too exciting beyond that
Yes, there's an LCD screen on the front, so if you put this on a tripod with a self-timer, you can all get into the picture. If that's important to you, then this is your camera. To me it was a novelty as how hard is it to hop into a spot you have picked out for yourself in the picture? Or maybe folks who own this will take lots of pictures of themselves? I'm not sure.

Anyway, reviewing the rest of the camera...this seems like a pretty mainstream 12MP digital camera. The touch screen didn't seem that much easier, if at all, to use than regular, well-designed menus. Photo quality was average with noise creeping in rapidly as the light diminished. I took a couple of side by side pictures with my older Canon SD550 and a new small Olympus (micro 4/3) DSLR. Not surprisingly image quality for this Samsung was in the middle, but not much better, even zoomed in, than the four year old Canon.

So, unless the front LCD is important to you, I'd shop around and it could be that this camera is still your choice, but there are SO many options that it seems to me that the front LCD is the real selling point here. Maybe when these go on discontinued clearance...

Awesome Features!
This camera is awesome. I bought this for my daughter's 19th birthday a couple of weeks ago and she is still exploring all of it's numerous features. The touchscreen is wonderful and the quality of the pictures are amazing. I especially like the option to change the resolution of your pictures and the clear crisp quality of the pictures, also the lighting and color quality is that of a professional photographer's camera. The only glitch I can mention is with the child mode feature Samsung offers on their website files to download videos and that is a little confusing but other than that it's great. I do recommend however that you purchase this camera for a serious picture taker, I don't recommend this camera for a child or a very young teenager as it's many features may be overwhelming which may dissuade them from taking advantage of them.
