Samsung TL320
The TL320 features a Schneider lens and offers a more versatile 24mm ultra-wide angle focal length paired with a 5x optical zoom.
Utilizing the same advanced technologies found in its AMOLED televisions, Samsung was able to incorporate a three-inch, 460,000-dot HVGA AMOLED screen in the new TL320, the largest AMOLED screen on a digital camera to date. In comparison to a traditional TFT-LCD screen, the TL320s AMOLED consumes less power and offers a higher contrast ratio of 10,000:1. Additionally, unlike a TFT-LCD, the TL320s AMOLED screen has the ability to display images that can be reviewed at any angle, while fully maintaining the same color gamut.
Samsungs new TL320 also offers high-definition video recording at a resolution of 720p, as well as HDMI connectivity. The cameras 5x optical zoom can be used while recording, and because the camera utilizes H.264 compression users can record HD video for longer periods of time with the TL320.
For added stability and blur-free images, Samsung has outfitted the TL320 with both Optical and Digital Image Stabilization.
The TL320 offers aperture priority, shutter priority, full manual shooting, as well as Samsungs unique Advanced Picture Mode. Much more precise than simple white balance presets, Advanced Picture Mode gives users the ability to fine tune color tones before image capture by adjusting the color temperature from 2,800-10,000K, in 100K increments, or by manually configuring the cameras color space shift.
For users looking for simplicity when it comes to taking digital images, the TL320 offers a suite of automatic controls designed to help them capture better images with ease, including the cameras Smart Auto mode.
In addition to Smart Auto, the TL320 also incorporates Samsungs proprietary Smart Album program. Smart Album is useful tool which allows users to easily search for a specific image they have saved on their memory card. Smart Album automatically organizes the users digital images and gives them the ability to narrow their search based on specific criteria.
Users can also take advantage of the TL320s Face Detection, Blink Detection, Smile Shot, and Beauty Shot technologies.
