Samsung TL350 / WB2000 Digital Camera Review

The newly state-of-the-art compact TL350 / WB2000 digital camera from Samsung is equipped with a Schneider 5x optical zoom lens with a 24mm equivalent wide angle, a 10MP CMOS sensor and a lot

of additional features to keep the enthusiast satisfied. It's placed just beneath their top-end EX1 digital camera.

Into the Features
For a compact digital camera geared towards advanced users, the WB2000 / TL350 is nicely specified, exhibiting a 10.1MP high sensitivity CMOS sensor to capture photos up to ISO3200 as well as a Schneider 5x optically stabilized zoom lens that handles a range equal to 24-120mm on a 35mm camera. The CMOS sensor is additionally among the new high-speed versions that enables video recording at 1000fps during decreased resolution and also continuous shooting at speeds as high as 10fps at the full 10MP resolution.

Total manual exposure control is achievable and a pair of direct control dials make adjusting configurations fast and simple. To get a a bit more automation both shutter and aperture-priority exposure modes are as well presented, together with a fully automated smart mode, which utilizes scene detection to select the appropriate automatic scene program.

People who desire to explore manually might also be thrilled to find out that this digital camera can easily capture photos in a RAW image format, enabling more opportunity with editing later on and compression-free quality photos.

The Samsung WB2000 / TL350 digital camera also includes a range of detections, and although a lot of digital cameras are now becoming standard with this, it's just another perk: Face Detection, Blink Detection and Smile Detection are all provided. The only detection this digital camera doesn't have is radar detection for when you're speeding down the highway.

A Unique Touch
Something that you may never notice on digital cameras are Analog Dials. Well, this one has two, on the top. One is for the battery power and the other is for the memory card capacity. It's very different, and some people may like the look and others may not.
