This "DualView" approach is aimed towards those who are constantly taking self-portraits or small group shots using the one-handed, self-photographer method; turning the camera towards you and holding it with one hand while posing for the photo with a...

    The Samsung TL225 is an attractive camera for the $330 price. It shoots good pictures, has a decent zoom lens and is easy to control and use. The large screen on the back of the camera is excellent: clear, bright and with enough resolution to show fine details. We also found that the touch-screen interface was also pretty good: we had no major problems controlling the camera and navigating beyond a few missed buttons. Read more

    I replaced my 9 year old Sony Cybershot camera with this camera. What a mistake! My biggest complaint is the quality of photos this camera takes. Terrible! Grainy. Not at all the quality I was used to. Who cares about the interface functions being good when the end result is terrible photos. BTW the battery life is very short - even when you are not using the front screen. I want my 9 year old Sony back. Read more

    The product has exceeded all my expectation to-date. The pics are clear the video is sharp. I am most impressed with the HDMI interface. The software included is great it store all the setting with the image that was use when the picture was taken. So far have not found any fault with it. Read more or see product
