Samsung EX1 compact camera
Built like you remember the most expensive rangefinder cameras of old, the EX1 is a heavy, armoured beauty in gun metal grey and is the most rugged camera I have picked up. What must have started out as an enthusiast's retro styled project, must quickly have become something that Samsung said, "OK,...

Review: Samsung TL500 point-and-shoot camera
The Samsung TL500's spec list reads like an all-star team recruited from other advanced point-and-shoot cameras' more enticing qualities. Like the Canon PowerShot G12 , it comes equipped with a flip-and-rotate screen to help with odd-angle shots.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- 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

Samsung TL500 review
The Samsung TL500 is an excellent camera, and its F1.8 maximum aperture and OLED screen are excellent in a camer of this type. But usability issues make it less than ideal for both novices and expert users.

Samsung TL500
For a first entry into enthusiast compact territory, Samsung puts in a credible showing with its TL500, an attractive camera with a thoughtful design, fast f1.8 lens, and flip-and-twist AMOLED display. But it faces some steep competition and ultimately can't keep up with the crowd.
Pros:
- The Samsung TL500 has an attractive design and a bright flip-and-twist display
Cons:
- Some irritating control placements
- inconsistent photo quality
- and an uninspiring feature set tarnish the TL500's appeal

A fine, if chunky digital compact, but one in danger of falling between two stools

There is a lot to like with the TL500: serious shooters will love the f/1.8 lens, the full manual control and the rotating OLED screen. But there are a few things missing, such as HD movie capture and a long zoom lens.
