Samsung TL500

Samsung TL500 clearly made in-camera distortion and aberration control of JPEG images. It is an interesting decision, in its widest 24mm expects distortion and can be used creatively, so this is probably a decision to use snapshooter by Samsung. That said, while taking into account the expected distortion, the lens works very well. Images are sharp throughout the center and edges and is the most symmetric barreling I've seen in a compact camera. Unfortunately - but unsurprisingly - the distortion correction lops content around the edges of images. Moreover, while there is no unusual quantity of the strip of RAW files, it did appear in a few unexpected places I found difficult to correct - one of the disadvantages of raw shooting with this camera. (Note:. I do my raw processing with Adobe Camera Raw) Like most cameras, the lens performs better at macro distances, but the TL500 can not focus up close, and does not seem consistent about to what extent there you to lock focus - once in a while it seemed I could get a lock from a distance of 2 inches, but other times it takes about 6 inches, and the ability appeared nothing to do with the focal length.

If Samsung had to make concessions aim to broaden the scope might be a bit more lenient with artifacts. But Panasonic handles a slightly larger range of coordination in a fraction of a stop slower, compared to f2 f1.8, and a sensor of this size, depth of field and exposure of the differences are probably minimal.

In terms of performance, all cameras in this class is disappointingly slow - not the systems approach, but because of the operations abysmally slow processing of cases and the card - and the TL500 is right in the middle of the pack . That lights and fires in a relatively quick 1.8 seconds. Like the rest, focuses and shoots in about 0.4 seconds in high contrast conditions, and offers a decent 0.7 seconds in low contrast. But he runs 1.8 seconds between two sequential shots JPEG (1.9 seconds for the oil), it blows up to 2.5 seconds with flash enabled. It can operate at 1.5 frames per second, but I really do not want to use the continuous shooting on a camera without an optical viewfinder or even an optional viewfinder anyway

High-Quality Optics and Images
The Samsung EX1 is sure to turn heads thanks to its f/1.8 Schneider lens. The impressive f/1.8 lens offers photographers a wider range of aperture steps and shallow depth-of-field, giving them the ability to blur out the background of their images while maintaining focus on their subjects. The ultra-fast, f/1.8 lens also allows users to take better photos in low-light environments as more light is passed through to the new high-performance 1/1.7” CCD sensor. Larger than the sensors typically found in compact digital cameras, the EX1’s 1/1.7” CCD offers unrivaled sensitivity (max ISO 3200/full-resolution). Together with Samsung’s re‑engineered and fast, DRIMeIII imaging processor, the EX1 captures high-quality images, regardless of the lighting environment.

The high-end Schneider lens offers a 24mm, ultra-wide focal length and 3x optical zoom. Much wider than traditional compact cameras, the EX1’s 24mm ultra-wide angle lens allows photographers to capture more of a desired scene, such as beautiful landscapes and large groups of friends or family. For blur‑free images, the EX1’s lens is also paired with Samsung’s Dual Image Stabilisation technology.

Versatile Display Enhances the Viewing Experience
Composing and reviewing images on the EX1’s three-inch, swiveling AMOLED screen is a pleasure. The rotating AMOLED display will allow photographers to precisely frame their images the way they want and shoot from just about any angle, including overhead or low-to-the-ground shots. Compared to the traditional TFT-LCD found on most digital cameras, the EX1’s AMOLED provides users with a higher contrast ratio, deeper blacks and more accurate, vivid colors, even when viewed from an angle or in direct sunlight. The EX1’s AMOLED display is also more efficient when it comes to power consumption, allowing photographers to maximize battery life and shoot longer on a single charge.
