Samsung TL 220
(5 out of 5) by Kelly J. Cline on Nov 6, 2009 (Zanesville, OH USA)I bought the Samsung TL 220 and just love it. It takes good and clear pictures. And has so many features that the other cameras don't have. I have not had any problems with my camera and would highly recommend this camera to all camera lovers. Only one little downfall, the battery goes quicker than other cameras but I assume that is because it is all touchscreen and would drain the battery quicker. Other than that I love it.

Excellant Camera. Highly Recommend if shopping for a Camera
(5 out of 5) by WardnTX on Nov 17, 2009 (TX)This is a great camera. One of the best I have ever owned or used. The pictures it takes are fantastic. I got mine on sale for $259.00. Shop around for the best price but definitely choose this camera if you are shopping for a camera and want one that is just point and shoot and will automatically take the perfect shot both day and night.

High on the novelty factor, but nothing too exciting beyond that
(3 out of 5) by Michael A. Duvernois on Oct 18, 2009 (Minneapolis, MN United States)Yes, there's an LCD screen on the front, so if you put this on a tripod with a self-timer, you can all get into the picture. If that's important to you, then this is your camera. To me it was a novelty as how hard is it to hop into a spot you have picked out for yourself in the picture? Or maybe folks who own this will take lots of pictures of themselves? I'm not sure.
Anyway, reviewing the rest of the camera...this seems like a pretty mainstream 12MP digital camera. The touch screen didn't seem that much easier, if at all, to use than regular, well-designed menus. Photo quality was average with noise creeping in rapidly as the light diminished. I took a couple of side by side pictures with my older Canon SD550 and a new small Olympus (micro 4/3) DSLR. Not surprisingly image quality for this Samsung was in the middle, but not much better, even zoomed in, than the four year old Canon.
So, unless the front LCD is important to you, I'd shop around and it could be that this camera is still your choice, but there are SO many options that it seems to me that the front LCD is the real selling point here. Maybe when these go on discontinued clearance...
