It seems like cameras with unique features are popping up all over lately.
There’s one from Nikon with the built-in project (Nikon CoolPIX SJ1000PJ), and then there’s the 3D camera from Fujifilm.
Samsung is also coming out with their unique camera: the Samsung TL220 and TL225. While the unique feature of the TL220 and TL225 isn’t as “amazing” (for a lack of better term) as the others, it’s still a feature every camera-loving, vain Gadgenista will love.
The TL220 and TL225 are the first point and shoot cameras to have an LCD in the front. So basically, taking a self portrait will be sooooooo easy and very convenient. No need to wonder which head or arm you’ve chopped off when taking a self-group photo. And when taking a self-portrait, you’ll immediately see how good you look!
Taking photos of kids and babies will also be easier with this camera as it has a feature called “Child Mode”. The LCD in front can flash cute, colorful animations that can catch a kid’s attention. Cool.
Samsung TL220 and TL225 Features:
- 12.2 megapixel resolution
- 4.6x optical zoom
- Image stabilization
- 720p video capabilities
Both models practically have the same features and the only difference I saw was the touchscreen LCD display on the back. The TL220 has a 3inch screen while the TL225 has a 3.5inch screen that’s clearer and sharper.
Both cameras will be out by September with the following prices: TL220 ($299.90) and TL225 ($349.99)
