Samsung has birthed two new compact cameras into the world and they are, quite astonishingly for the pixel-obsessed company, not suffering from megapixel overload.
Both models are almost indistinguishable from any other compact on the market except for one of two novelties, despite Samsung’s claim of an "impressive list of features that set the camera apart from the competition."
Of the two models, the TL320 is the most interesting. It has an AMOLED screen on the back, an OLED which uses less power than a regular LED, offers brighter colors, better contrast and doesn’t need a backlight. A camera is the perfect place for this tech, battery hungry as they can be, and often used outside in the bright sunshine.
The other HZ15W is a 12MP superzoom, with a full 10x optical zoom lens. To combat the wobbles at the long end there is also dual image stabilization which jiggles the sensor and the lens just so to keep everything steady. Otherwise, both cameras have the usual image tweaking features: Face Detection, Smile Shot, Blink Detection, Beauty Shot and Money Shot (just kidding on the last one), and both will shoot 720p video.
The TL320 comes out in May for $380 and the HZ15W in March for $330.
