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

Well worth it
Its just a bit larger and heavier than other point & shoot cameras. However, the EX1 has superior build quality, an incredible lens, and a super bright AMOLED screen. Very low noise and a larger than normal sensor. There is even an optional external viewfinder.

I have two SLR, but neither can fit on my pocket. So the lost quality from the absence my SLR was the minimum possible with EX1. This P&S camera has so good lens and quality jpg, that you not do any post process. You can forget shooting in raw, even the camera offers this.
Pros:
- Amazing Quality
- for photos and the camera body
Cons:
- None bad
- except has a dull screen from fingers
- so needs cleaning a lot
- or no fongers on it

Samsung EX1 review
Whereas it used to be the number of pixels by which digital cameras were judged, the emphasis has shifted to how well cameras cope in low light conditions.

Everything it was advertised to be and more!
I purchased this camera to take photos for my on-line part time business. It has met and exceeded my expectations. It will photograph even in low light, however, I do get better pictures inside with the flash. Colors are crisp. This camera captures detail my other camera didn't.
