Samsung DualView TL225 - A Very Well-thought Out Camera

Not everyone may find dual-lens 3D image capture or a LED projector within a camera to be particularly useful. Without too much R&D effort, Samsung puts a very practical feature - a front display - in the new DualView ST225 and ST220 compact camera that grabs everyone's attention. To activate the 1.5" front LCD, you simply tap, and the camera turns on its self-portrait mode after which smile detection or timer can take over. One obvious benefit is when you want to take a group picture.

Another thoughtful application of ST225's front LCD is to capture a child's attention by playing short clips of cartoon animation. The timer mode will also show a visual countdown so everyone knows exactly how he or she has to maintain their best posture. The $350 DualView ST225 itself packs 12.2MP, 27mm wide angle lens, 4.6x optical zoom, 720p H.264 video capture, and 3.5" touchscreen with 1,152k pixels and haptic effect found on Samsung P3. The $300 ST220 is slighter thinner, and sports a smaller 3" touchscreen with 230k pixels.
