Introduction:

Samsung has revolutionized the digital world by introducing a plethora of Dual View cameras that come equipped with front and back LCD screens. Shooting oneself has become fun with such cameras and the Samsung TL225 is the new camera to join this list. This camera supports Micro SD/SDHC cards and possesses internal memory of about 55 MB that helps you store good number of pictures & videos.

Features:

Thanks to the Haptic vibration technology, now you can navigate effortlessly through your menus with just a tap, single touch or a mere hand gesture. Browse through your photo album and perform required tasks in no time with the rear LCD screen. Enjoy shooting with 16 different scene modes with Smart Auto technology and let the camera pick the right amount of contrast and brightness for you. If you wish to take the reins of shooting, you can set the option to manual and play with the menus to achieve the desired result.

Pros: 

• Whether you want to make posters or take prints of your gorgeous pictures, the camera’s 12.2 megapixels resolution acts in unison with the 4.6x optical zoom to deliver detail-oriented pictures that exhibit flawless colors and high clarity images.
• Besides pictures, you can also shoot HD movie of 1280 x 720 p resolution at 30 frames per second. Plug in the camera to any HD monitor or HDTV to enjoy watching the movie on a large screen with your family.
• The camera comes with a special feature called Child mode that helps you capture pictures of your kids. Taking pictures of kids can be tad difficult as they don’t stay put at one place for long. Once you switch to this mode, the camera plays cool animations to keep your kid engaged and in the mean time you can happily click away as many pictures as you want.

Cons:

• The touch panel screen collects finger prints fast. And even browsing through its menus with fingers is not that easy.
• For utilizing HDMI function, you need to have a HDMI cable.
• The fact that the batteries can be charged inside the camera alone causes great inconvenience to the user.
• There are visibility issues while shooting in direct sunlight. Manual controls that can help adjust the brightness settings are absent from this model.

Pricing Range: Enjoy shooting with this Dual View camera by paying just 239$-249$. Available in Orange& Purple!
