The Samsung TL500 has an attractive design and a bright flip-and-twist display
Some irritating control placements, inconsistent photo quality, and an uninspiring feature set tarnish the TL500's appeal
Less than the sum of its parts, the Samsung TL500 is a solid camera, but it just can't keep up with veteran players in the competitive enthusiast compact market.
Excellent dual-image stabilization, In-camera retouching for RAW images, Solid image quality, Beautiful tilt-and-swivel OLED screen, Ultra-wide-angle lens with F1.8 maximum aperture,
Menu and controls can be unintuitive, Poor video resolution and quality, Battery must be charged in the camera, Macro mode isn't as effective as competing cameras
The Samsung TL500 is an excellent camera, but it lags significantly behind rival models in video quality, macro mode, manual focus controls, and in-camera menus. Its F1.8 maximum aperture and OLED screen are unmatched by any other camera in this roundu...

Pricey compared to most digital compacts, modest (3x) optical zoom range, standard definition video capture only Product Shots The EX1 is a robustly built, shoot-from-the-hip enthusiasts’ compact that makes the most of Samsung’s electronics heritage, to include bright and vivid AMOLED rear screen. Sample Shots The camera chose an ISO80 setting for this ‘last light of the day’ image, enabling
Though we’re writing this before taking a look at its new NX100 model, the EX1 has got to be the most impressive digital camera Samsung has produced to date, whether true compact or DSLR-styled mirror-less hybrid model. OK, so it’s not set itself as ...
Bulky. Expensive. No high-definition video capture. Noticeable shutter lag. Proprietary USB port.
Samsung's TL500 delivers beautiful images even in poor lighting, but for a pocket camera it has a big body and a big price tag—and it doesn't do HD video. Buy it now...
The EX1 is a good camera with some minor flaws. There are a few interface issues but nothing particularly annoying. The dual stabilization mode is a nice idea but mostly unnecessary. However, the problem is the price puts it to close to the range of c...
Abstract: The compact camera segment is one that has left me without hope of a decent camera for a long time. Since 2003 I’ve had in my arsenal the gamut of digital compacts ranging from fast super zooms to the highly portable to the control freak Canon G s...
