Small and Quick
Samsung TL225 Pocket Camera
Pros : Quick shot-to-shot, Fast start-up
Cons : Scrolling pictures
Best Uses : Pocket camera, Hiking
The TL225 is small and fast. The start-up time is less than a second and the flash regeneration is less than 4 seconds. Focus lock is quick and I have not "missed a shot" because the camera wasn't ready.
However, the motion sensor that changes pictures during playback makes it hard to pass the camera around to friends without changing the selected photo.

Every picture blurred!
Well, this purchase has been a huge disappointment. I purchased this September 30th, but then could not use it because it does not use standard memory cards and I had to go out of town on business. So, I get back and go to several stores - CVS, Walgreen's, etc and they do not carry the memory cards. Finally, I went to Radio Shack and they had them, but insisted that they were not used in any cameras and tried to talk me out of buying one. I bought the card anyway and finally had a chance to use it to take halloween pictures of my kids. Well, guess what? EVERY picture is blurry, at EVERY setting and even on a tripod. So, now it has been (just) over 30 days and I can't return it. Called Samsung, and what they told me basically amounts to "if it doesn't work we're going to try to trick you out of even more money." Bottom line, for all extents and purposes there is no warranty. So, if you are considering buying this: (1) be ready to get the special memory card ASAP and test it out thoroughly from day one, because, (2) if you miss your 30-day return window you just paid for a paperweight. I will never buy a higher priced item from Amazon and will not purchase anything from Samsung.

compare with other brands before buying
I saw a TV commercial for this camera and I thought I'd see reviews on amazon.com for the product. Last week I purchased a panasonic ZS3 and I am waiting to have it on my hands.
This is not exactly a review, so I apologize about that, but after reading a bit about this camera, it seems that it's just "ok" and has normal functions for it's price. the new tech it has, the dual screen is great, I can think of a couple situations where it might had come in handy compared to my sony cameras.
I do suggest for anyone to try get information on this camera before buying it. I've been let down by newer sony's models as they don't take amazing pictures as I'd would like to (and as I was used with an old P200 from sony)
I also suggest reading V.Bank's review. his review seems to be honest and makes me believe all he is saying is the truth. There is another review that doesn't seem to be a user review, but a fan, or almost as someone who works for samsung. Mary Shelton seems to know too much about the camera, even though "she" says she doesn't know much about them. the link she gives for the review, is called "seagadget". I did some review and this site belongs to samsung electronics America inc (SEA). So it's not a review, it's a product in-depth description. if you go to the site, take note that they only review samsung "gadgets"
When I mentioned Mary as a "she", I said that because "she" seems to have other identities. She just copies and pastes her review, did it on the samsung TL220, but with another nickname (Giles Shelton "EtherMagic" (Chicago)) --- Why use another nickname and do the exact same review?. Then I wanted to search about the camera at dpreview, and found his exact same review, but signed as "Paul". there are a few days apart from each "review" but he or she always say "I went to best buy yesterday". someone defending so much a product that you don't actually have is not a good reviewer. I wouldn't dare to review my ZS3 even though I have also toyed and research a lot about it. I would even wait for a couple of weeks to make a good review.
Anyway, I can compare a bit the samsung with the panasonic Zs3 which have the same msrp:
megapixels: samsung has 12 vs pannys 10. If you are going to print out posters then samsung is a winner
optical zoom: panasonic wins all the way with 12X vs. 4.6X . That's more than double
wide angle: both are wide enough, BUT panasonic has 25mm vs samsung's 27mm. (smaller is better, gets more of the scene into your picture)
The other specifications are similar, so I won't go into details. mini SD? who cares? I've owned sony with memory sticks and never had a problem to transfer them to a PC or to my laptop. Paul, Mary or Giles (whatever his name is) is right, it comes with an adapter so you will have a regular sized SD. Afraid to get it lost? Be extra careful
Go to best buy and try the samsung, try the panasonic, try whatever brand you like. At the end, the most important thing about a point and shoot is that you get excellent results from your shots, daylight, low light conditions, etc. All of the rest fails and is worthless if your pictures don't come clean.
you can find REAL reviews of REAL people here at amazon and everywhere else, make sure to read them and discard what looks fake.

I love this camera!
I was a little nervous purchasing this camera, as there didn't seem to be too many reviews out there and I wasn't able to see one in person before buying. However, I have fallen in love with it. My main worry was that this would be one of those electronic devices that had too many cool features and none of them would work well. Nothing could be further from the truth. It did take a small amount of time to adjust to yet another touch screen with a slightly different response, but it didn't take long at all.
Another interesting point for me was that this camera seems to be advertised by Samsung mostly for it's dual screens. While it is fun to have, that isn't it's best feature.
Features I really like:
- Auto rotating of pictures
- Gesture commands - the ability to switch modes with one click and a movement of the camera
- Grouping of pictures - When viewing pictures on the camera, it has a mode that seems to group them by who is in the picture. It works amazing well, and I've never seen a camera do anything like this.
- Touch screen - the ability to delete pictures just by drawing an "x" on them. Yes, it does warn you before deleting the picture, just in case.
Negatives:
- The flash seems to be a bit bright in many situations. We haven't been able to find a "soft" flash for those situations.
- The front LCD is sometimes hard to turn on by just touching it. It works better to use the rear LCD to turn in on.
Even the negatives are very minor. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who has the money to spend!

its a touch screen world out there now
This is my 1st touch camera. I have owned many small point and shot cameras and this one is the easiest one to work for me and takes great pictures.
I bought this camera 1 month ago and went on vacation to wine country Napa/Sonoma
I downloaded the disc manual that comes with the camera and read it complete on the plane. I am glade I did. Being a touch screen you have no controls to turn like basic cameras.
for anyone looking to buy this samsung, read the manual the funtions are mostly symbols and once you know all the touch funtions you will be taking great pictures.
If you have a touch phone your halfway there. Amazining pictures and it gives you so many was to take your shots. The quality is great and the 3.5 in screen is outstanding just slide your finger on the screen and veiw or delete. As for the the front view screen in works good but on sunny days you may have to angle it a bit could be brighter.
rear screen is fine.
some reviewers complain about fingerprints on the screen.. no problem with me, you just wipe them off, you do want to keep it clean.
The camera is thin to store anywhere. I went to a my verizon phone store and bought a phone case leather and has a clip for your belt. It work great when I was wine touring.
Bottom line go and play with one but remember read the manual this camera has funtions that are not listed on the box..enjoy

Samsung Electronics was founded in 1969 in South Korea and first manufactured electronic appliances such as calculators, refrigerators, washers, air conditioners and black-and-white TVs. In the 60-70s the company was a beneficiary of a government policy of economic growth and development. The government worked with the companies, providing protection from competition.
