Give your First idea to the Samsung TL500 digital camera
Article by Skywalker2010
Samsung came late to the digital imaging revolution and its first generation digicams left something to be desired. Their second generation digital cameras, like Rodney Dangerfield, were looking for respect, and they found it. Samsung’s newest digicam, the TL500, is a case in point – the TL500 is a premium point-and-shoot aimed squarely at photo enthusiasts. Sony digicams feature lenses from legendary optics manufacturer Carl Zeis and Panasonic digicams feature lenses from Germany’s leading camera maker Leica; the TL500 Samsung Camera Charger first-rate 3x zoom is from Zeiss and Leica competitor Schneider-Kreuznach. Unlike similar models from Panasonic, Sony, Canon and Nikon, the TL500 Schneider Varioplan zoom’s maximum aperture is f/1.8, which makes it almost a full f-stop faster than most of its competition.The very compact TL500 features an attractively understated design and its robustly constructed all-metal body feels solid and stable in your hands. Nuts and bolts features include a 3.0-inch camcorder style tilt-swivel AMOLED screen, Dual IS, RAW format image files, and a 1/1.7-inch CCD image sensor driven by Samsung’s DRIMe III image processor. The TL500, unlike the auto-everything, point-and-shoot and ultra compact digital cameras currently flooding the market, permits lots of individual input into the image making process via an enhanced feature set, plenty of creative flexibility, and full manual control of exposure. The only quibble I have so far is the TL500 Samsung Battery Charger VGA movie mode. Premium compact digicams are expected to offer a full complement of cutting edge features and all of Samsung’s competitors offer HD movie modes.The megapixel wars have finally arrived at the point of diminishing returns – crowding more pixels onto tiny sensors dependably results in higher levels of image degrading noise. Point-and-shoot cameras with 12 or 14 megapixel resolution don’t actually produce better pictures than digicams with lower resolution – they just generate larger and noisier image files. The TL500 features 10-megapixel resolution, which indicates Samsung is committed to improving performance at higher sensitivity – for better low light and indoor pictures.The TL500′s user interface is logical and uncomplicated – all buttons and controls are a bit small, but they are all clearly marked, sensibly placed and easily accessed. The FN button provides direct access to white balance, image size, metering options, AF options, OIS, etc. The TL500 Samsung Camera Battery Charger compass switch provides direct access to flash settings, macro mode, Sensitivity, and the screen display. The compass switch is also a rotary jog dial which I used primarily in review mode; other users might employ it to easily and quickly scroll through menu options.
