5 out of 5 stars   Great Camera For Pics While Videoing!!!!
By PaulyEddyFreddy on August 23, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Same time video and pics, Good Image Quality, Small / Compact, Large Clear LCD
Cons: Battery charging
Other Comments: The main super feature about this camera is its ability to shoot still pics while shooting video. So, instead of having to use separate still and video cameras, you just shoot a video and take pics while videoing. The video is 1080p and the pics are seamless in the video. Just finished using it at a family reunion, and both videos and pics come out great. The camera is quite small, and also comes with a ton of other features. The only problem is that you have to charge the battery through the camera--so no separate battery charger comes with the camera. I solved this problem by buying a generic battery charger and an extra battery--not too much extra money.

3 out of 5 stars   Not as good as I hoped
By SF_Frank on June 01, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Easy To Use, Small / Compact, Good Image Quality
Cons: Lag / Shutter Delay, Poor Flash, No Viewfinder
Other Comments: Based on other reviews, I bought the TL350 as a small backup to my DLSR. I used the TL350 for a couple of days and was not satisfied with the sharpness of the pictures. I liked the manual controls and RAW capability of the TL350 and there was not much noise at low ISO, but the images were not as sharp as those from my wife's Point & Shoot Panasonic Lumix DMC FX-150. I returned the Samsung TL350 and replaced it was a Samsung TL500 which has gives me sharper images than the TL350. The TL500 also has a faster lens for better low light performance. The TL350 is a good little camera and most people should be very happy with the pictures, I am just a little more demanding of the picture qualities I am looking for.

3 out of 5 stars   Nice pictures on the go. Forget RAW
By stanpremy on May 29, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Good Image Quality, Small / Compact, Large Clear LCD, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Good Image Stabilization
Cons: Limited Zoom, Lag / Shutter Delay
Other Comments: I bought this camera for compactness. It takes very clear sharp pictures. I expected it to have limited flash quality. I chose it from among similar cameras because it was advertised to shoot RAW format. The extender is labeled .SRW. It may be a RAW format but it is not recognizable to any software on MAC computers. Not iPhoto, Not Aperture, Not Adobe's Photo Shop. There is a plethora of complaint on this issue on the net.

5 out of 5 stars   Nice Enthusiasts choise for a compact
By Bob on April 20, 2011

Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Small / Compact, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Nice Body Color
Cons:
Other Comments: I'm the photo enthusiast, my wife is the point and clicker. This camera works well for both of us. She can use the Auto and Scenes, I use the Program mode with the camera set up to my preferences. A nice compliment for my Canon DSLR. It does shoot RAW for those special shots, has nice bracketing features, good control layout, and feels rugged. I have not shot low light shots, so can't comment. I chose this over other "Pro" compacts because it really is compact. Others either were not or did not have the depth of features. One criticism is the "wheel control" for burst and timed shots. It's a little inconvenient, but I'm getting used to it. Another observation is buffer clearing. It has not been an issue, and given what the camera is doing, it is not surprising, but when shooting burst or RAW, the buffers take a few more seconds than I'm used to to clear. In fairness, it could be the SD card I'm using, not the fastest. But again, it has not been a problem. I have only used the video minamally. It seems to do a good job, but this is not something I do a lot of, so others can comment on this better. One thing I would comment on is the post production software that comes with it. It does a really good job, much better than the Canon stock software, especially with RAW. That said, the translation of the instructions from Korean was clearly not a priority, and some of the integration isn't a slick at Photoshop, but you can get through it. I now prefer this to my Photoshop Elements for basic editing (exposure, lighting, contrast, color), then use Elements for any layering work and organizing. All in all, really pleased with the decision to get the 350.

5 out of 5 stars   Really great all-around camera
By JamesD on March 19, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Small / Compact, Good Image Quality, Good in Low Light, Short Lag Time, Large Clear LCD, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Easy To Use
Cons:
Other Comments: We took this camera on a 3-week trip to Europe and took over 5,000 photos with it. It was fantastic in low-light situations where we were not allowed to use a flash. Friends with us were frequently not able to get nearly as true pictures with theirs in the same light. The extremely wide lens made it very easy to get the "whole" picture even when we couldn't back up very much. The automatic panorama mode was great. We used it to get sweeping pictures of the Eiffel tower, the views from the London Eye and the Arc d'Triomphe, and much more and they all came out great. Being able to shoot video and take pictures at the same time regardless of how you have the camera set (to video mode or still picture mode) is a fantastic benefit. As to durability - I had it knocked out of my hand one day. It flew out and landed on cement several feet away. One tiny nick on the outside, no impact at all on screen, lens, pictures, etc. The camera was even smart enough to shut itself off and retract the lens as it was falling. We have a much larger digital SLR that technically has better specifications, but except for scenarios where we need a longer zoom we just don't bother bringing it any more.

4 out of 5 stars   A good choice for pocket point-and-shoot
By Mustang on March 17, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Small / Compact, Good Image Stabilization, Good in Low Light, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Quality
Cons:
Other Comments: For the price I feel like this is a great point-and-shoot. The camera is very responsive, has lots of options, takes nice low light images, and is relatively small. It's really just what I was hoping for when seeking a pocket / travel camera. The 1080p 30fps video is pretty darn cool. I also get a kick out of the high-speed video, but be aware that you need good lighting because the shutter is open for such short periods of time. Also for some reason the barrel distortion is very pronounced when taking high-speed video. Another thing that annoyed me is the LCD screen: Yes, it's big and beautiful, but the refresh rate is sluggish so things aren't as smooth as on my old Canon SD850IS. Also, the white balance indoors is a little funky. Seriously though...you won't find this many cool features at this price. I've had it a few weeks and am pleased with my purchase so far.

5 out of 5 stars   I would recommend this camera to ALL!!!!
By Courtney on March 03, 2011
Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Large Clear LCD, Nice Body Color, Easy To Use, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Great Zoom, Good Image Quality, Small / Compact, Good Image Stabilization, Just awesome all around
Cons: Paint has tiny bubbles
Other Comments: I am just a 19 year old college student who loves to take pictures. I had the kodak V1003 and honestly...the samsung TL350 is the BEST camera I have EVER owned or seen! It does SO much and the screen is AWESOME! the screen, however, is more vivid than the actual upload BUT the uploads are still VERY clear and I wouldn't let this keep you from buying this awesome camera!! as mentioned before, when i look closely to my paint job, there are tiny bubbles in it. I'm not sure if this is normal but it is there. They are HARDLY noticeable! you seriously have to look REALLY close to see them! I don't like how you can't shoot in say black and white and then add miniature effect as well. but its okay :) its still an A++++++ camera!

5 out of 5 stars   Samsung TL350 - One Great Little Camera!
By George Fron Cary on February 04, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Samsung TL350 Digital Camera With 5x Optical Zoom(24mm to 120mm) 3" AMOLED Screen (SAMTL350)
Pros: Small / Compact, Short Lag Time, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Stabilization, Good Image Quality, Nice Body Color
Cons: No Viewfinder, Limited Zoom
Other Comments: I purchased the Samsung TL350 as an alternative to my DSLR when I want to travel light. After researching this camera and it's competitors I decided on the Samsung TL350. I based this decision on the Samsung TL350's ability to, among other things, shoot raw, manual capabilities, fast f2.4 aperture, 24mm at the wide end and the 3 inch Amoled display. After having this camera for a few weeks now I have had the opportunity to shoot in numerous lighting conditions as well as using the HD video. This camera feels solid and is small enough for the shirt or pants pocket. The camera is quite intuitive and does a great job of focusing and metering with the various scene modes, smart modes and PASM modes. When using the aperture priority one is limited to f7.4 at the smallest opening and in the shutter priority you are limited to one second as the longest exposure, so do not expect DSLR type control over your manual settings. There are a ton of features on this camera so plan on studying the menus to really utilize the full benefits. However, if one wants to just use the various scene or smart scene modes the camera is fairly intuitive and straight forward. The full array of functions and features do not work in every exposure mode so be aware of this when, for example, you have smart range turned on but you can't use the burst mode. The camera takes great quality photos but just also be aware that this is a smaller sensor and the image quality it not up to DSLR quality. But for a point and shoot it is very nice. I used the video feature at my daughter's music concert and the HD video was excellent with great exposure metering and sharpness. Sound quality was just ok as on most point and shoots. One really cool feature of this camera is the panorama mode. I find myself using this a lot. The panoramas are lower resolution so you won't be blowing them up to 16x20 but for most applications such as your website, Facebook, etc, they look great and would be suitable for smaller prints. The camera came with a CD containing the full manual as well as Intelli-Studio software. The Intelli-Studio software is pretty basic but allows you to download and organize your photos as well as do some basic post-processing, so not a bad add on. I use Adobe Lightroom 3 and of course this has no problem reading the Samsung raw files and post-processing. In conclusion, I would highly recommend the Samsung TL350 as a great all around point and shoot for everyday use or when you don't want to pull out the heavy stuff.

Pros: Small / Compact, Great Zoom, Good Image Stabilization, Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Good in Low Light, Large Clear LCD
Cons:
Other Comments: This is a great camera for anyone who wants to grow to RAW from jpeg format. AMOLED screen is very sharp and very bright and cannot get better. You would not miss a viewfinder. Great to hold and menu system is very simple. This camera has lot of great features and HD videos are very good. Cons: Colors are bit dull compared to reality - need to use vivid mode, sharpness is not superb but very good for this type of camera. No external battery charger unfortunately which is unbelievable !!! Paint finish is patchy on the exterior.
