Samsung TL110 Review



Following on from the seven new digital camera models the company announced at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung announced its ultracompact TL110 in mid-January 2010. Most specifications for the Samsung TL110 have yet to be revealed, with only a brief outline of the TL110's features and functionality so far available.

What we do know is that the Samsung TL110 is based around a fourteen megapixel image sensor, and includes a 5x optical zoom lens that provides 35mm-equivalent focal lengths ranging from a useful 27mm wide angle to a 135mm telephoto. The TL110 also includes Samsung's Dual Image Stabilization function, which couples optical (lens-based) image stabilization with a software anti-blur system. Images are framed and reviewed on a 2.7-inch LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution, roughly equivalent to a 320 x 240 pixel array.

The TL110 includes face detection capability, which allows the camera to provide a skin-smoothing beauty shot function. As well as Program Auto and Smart Auto modes, the TL110 includes a selection of scene modes that allow the user some control over the look of images without needing to understand the settings being adjusted. These include Beauty Shot, Night, Frame Guide, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Text, Sunset, Dawn Backlight, Beach & Snow, and Fireworks. The Samsung TL110 also includes a range of effects modes including Fisheye, Lomo, Miniature and Vignetting, as well as photo style options that include Normal, Soft, Vivid, Forest, Retro, Cool, Calm, Classic, Negative, Custom RGB, Sketch, and DeFog Clear/Fog Lifting. There's also a 720p high definition 30 frames-per-second H.264 video mode.

Pricing for the Samsung TL110 hadn't been disclosed at press time. Availability is slated for February 2010.
