Samsung TL240

 

The TL240 is a good solid camera with 14-megapixels of resolution and a 7x zoom, all while still being very compact. This camera performed very well during our tests with minimal cons.

Large 3.5-inch LCD worked well in various lighting conditions ; Responsive touchscreen GUI ; Nice exterior with well-built feel ; Great image quality with pleasing fine detail ; Good video quality for compact camera ; Capable Smart Auto mode ; Cool"...

Uses microSD cards, which can cause you to replace your existing SD/SDHC cards ; Battery charges in the camera, which means you can't charge a secondary pack while using the camera ;

Samsung TL240 First Impression Digital Camera Review

 

Front The TL240 is your basic sleek black rectangle, with a silver ring around the lens and, when the lens is extended, a blue band for color accent.

Nice enough camera

 

Lot of camera for not a lot of money. Only major grip, not limited to this camera, is that photographs in full daylight literally are impossible to compose due to refraction on the LCD display. Took it to Panama rather than haul around my D300. Perhaps...

Everything is GREAT. Except for: ✝ When you zoom in and out, it makes a really annoying noise. ✝ It has bad quality in dark scenes.The pictures are good quality considering that this camera is 14.2 megapixels. But only in well lit scenes.About me......

Takes really good quality pictures

The zoom noise and doesn't have good quality in the dark

At first glance, WOW..give it chance, NOT NOW!!!

 

This camera was great out the box......for about a week. Then the lense started sticking in the extended position like previous reviews. It would make a wurring noise and then quit focusing, wouldn't retract and wouldn't power off. To get it to reset,...

Packed with features

Can't use the features when the lense doesn't work
