The Samsung DualView TL225 (and TL220) is widely known because of its 1.5” LCD on the front of the camera. It was purposely made to make things a whole lot easier for those wishing to take self-portrait pictures. The front LCD on the DualView is able to display short animations, called the Child Mode, to entertain children or simpletons as you attempt to capture the perfect moment.
The other selling point of the DualView is the 3.5” TFT touchscreen (3” on the TL220) on the rear. This rear LCD is also haptic and features a Gesture User Interface. Activating the front LCD is as simple as touching the screen.
Aside from the gimmicky yet likely practical small LCD on the front of the camera, the Samsung DualView seems to be a pretty solid point-and-shoot loaded with a ton of features. The camera has 4.6x optical zoom, a 27 mm wide angle lens from Schneider-KREUZNACH, 12.2 megapixels, and 55MB of onboard memory (microSD option of up to 4GB and micro SDHC up to 8GB).
HD video recording is also available on the Samsung DualView camera with a 1280 x 720p resolution at 30 fps. HD recording is also done in the H.264 format, which allows you to record two times more data than MP4. There’s also a mini-HDMI connector so you can view your video on your big LCD TV. ISO on the DualView maxes out at 3200 and there are several options under the TTL Auto Focus feature.
There are cool features on the Samsung DualView, with a $349.99 price tag you’re shelling out excessive money for a tiny LCD on the front of the camera. Expect to see the DualView on North American shelves this September.
