Samsung PL150 Review

The Samsung PL150 (also known as the TL210) is a new 12 megapixel point and shoot camera with a twist - it has a second 1.5 inch LCD screen on the front which makes it much easier to take self-portrait pictures and videos. As part of this DualView...

The Samsung PL150 brings the clever DualView technology from last year's first generation cameras to a much wider audience thanks to its very competitive price, although image quality isn't such a strong point thanks to unwanted noise at relatively...

Samsung PL150 Digital Camera Review

The dual LCD screens are a particularly appealing selling point given the prevalence of self-portraiture among photo-takers and the overall ease-of-use of this unit coupled with its affordable price tag make it a recommendable compact particularly to...

Samsung 2View TL210/PL150 [REVIEW]

You may have loyalties to the likes of Sony, Canon, Nikon etc but you have to admit Samsung is shaking the tree when it comes to innovation … witness its NX DSLR-style camera!

The company first introduced a twin screen compact camera with the ST550 late in 2009. I have to admit the idea got to me!

Samsung PL150 digital camera

Samsung's PL150 digital camera packs dual LCD screens and a 12.4-megapixel sensor

Crammed full of fun features and effects; the dual LCD screens make self-portraits fun and easy

Images suffer from chromatic aberration and digital pixel distortion, uses a microSD card

The Samsung PL150 is a great compact digital camera bursting at the seams with features and effects.

Samsung PL150 review

Can the dual-screen compact also deliver quality photographs?

Decent LCD screen ; Front facing screen ; Good picture options

Image quality issues ; Some usability problems

On first impressions, the Samsung PL150 isn't the sleekest compact on the market. That's not to say it's not pocketable, but it's certainly not going to win any beauty competitions. On the plus side, its bulky exterior also houses a reasonably large 5x...

Samsung PL150

Samsung has been releasing an increasingly impressive array of cameras of late, and the Samsung PL150 is an example of the sort of innovation that is getting it noticed in what was once a relatively closed photographic space. Overall the Samsung...

Second screen useful and fun, easy to use, style effects add some creative scope

Overall image quality isn't great, video quality isn't great

Overall the Samsung fulfils its aim of being a fun and easy to use compact camera, well suited to general family photography. The images and video suffer from a general softness and lack of detail, so if absolute quality is important to you then this...

Samsung PL150

Front screen. Tilted base to allow for photos without a tripod. Lots of shooting modes for the money.

Uses the easy-to-lose microSD format. Loud autofocus. Annoying menu structure.

The PL150 is another dual-screen camera from Samsung, but doesn't take better photos than the earlier ST550. For the price though, it's an appealing entry into this novelty market.
