CNET editors' review
Samsung DualView TL225 (orange/black) price range: $256.95 - $349.99
- Reviewed by: Joshua Goldman
- Reviewed on: 10/23/2009
The good: Large automatic shooting feature set; responsive touch-screen navigation; unique dual-screen design.
The bad: Adapter needed for HDMI output; microSD card requirement might irk some; touch-screen interface not for everyone; battery charges in camera; whole screen not used for framing shots at full resolution.
The bottom line: The technology-packed Samsung DualView TL225 is the ultimate ultracompact for those who like to be in front of the camera more than they like being behind it.
Editors' note: CNET reviewed the Samsung DualView TL225. The DualView TL220 differs from the TL225 slightly, but in no way that affects shooting performance or photo quality. The feature differences for the TL220 are a smaller 3-inch LCD with a standard 230K-dot resolution, a plastic back casing, and a lack of support for output to an HDTV or monitor via HDMI.
The difference between a gimmicky feature and honest innovation is whether the feature in question is useful at solving an actual problem. The Samsung DualView TL225--and its slightly less expensive linemate, the TL220--fall under "innovative" with its dual-LCD design, snappy touch-screen interface, and robust automatic shooting options all stuffed into an ultracompact body. The TL225 certainly isn't for everyone, though, especially those adverse to touch screens or having no need for being in a lot of their own photos. There are also a couple of other niggling design points that might turn people away, too. But, for the millions of people who like being in front of the camera and sharing their photos online, the TL225 is probably the pocket camera they've been waiting for.

Unless you hate touch screens, there's very little not to like about the TL225's design. Up front is a 27mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with a 4.6x zoom. Next to it, hidden behind a black plastic front is a 1.5-inch LCD. Physical controls are limited to a power button, shutter release, a tiny zoom rocker, and a play button. Everything else is accessed and controlled through the gorgeous and bright, high-resolution 3.5-inch touch-panel display on back. Because of the positions of the zoom rocker and front LCD, the size of the main display, and that the screens are touch sensitive, there's not a lot of room for comfortably gripping and controlling the camera one-handed.
The touch-screen display is easily one of the most responsive I've tested and Samsung included haptic feedback so you can set the screen to vibrate a little when it registers a touch. This is all great considering that there seems to be a never-ending number of menus. In the top left of the screen is the shooting mode selector; press it and a virtual dial comes on screen with all the modes. Following down that side is a row of icons for changing flash, turning on macro focus, activating a timer, and opening a menu for controlling what is viewed on the front and main displays.
At the screen's bottom is a tab; tap it and up slides a panel of context-sensitive shooting options. There's another tab on the right side that pops out to reveal menu and motion-recognition icons. The menu button takes you to four sections of shooting and system settings. And when you get bored of touch controls, you can use the motion-recognition options to do things like switch shooting modes or start slideshows simply by holding the icon and tilting the camera. These tabs are an efficient way to maximize screen space; however, because it's a wide-screen LCD, there are gutters on the left and right sides when using the camera's full resolution. If you want to use the full screen to frame shots, you'll need to shoot in a wide-screen aspect ratio, which drops photos to a 9-megapixel resolution.
The front display can be set to show flash and focus settings or a yellow happy face when you prefocus with a half-press of the shutter release. It also does a visual countdown when using a timer for the last 3 seconds before a picture is taken. If the screen is off and you want to take a self-portrait, all you need to do is tap the display and it'll turn on, focus on faces in the frame, and release the shutter when it detects even a faint smile. This last feature alone makes the second screen worthwhile. The only issue was that in bright sunlight the screen is difficult to see and there's no way to adjust the brightness on it.
It's overall an extremely good design, but there are a few things that combined might keep you away from the TL225. The biggest of these might be the use of microSD/SDHC cards for storage. According to Samsung, it used this impossibly small memory card to shave off some camera size and because it's the removable storage type used in just about every mobile device available. The latter reason makes perfect sense, too, if you like showing shots on photo-sharing and social-networking sites. Other than size, the downsides are that offloading photos means connecting the camera by USB to a computer, using a microSD-to-SD adapter card, or buying a USB microSD card reader and, if you're upgrading from another camera, you'll have to purchase a card (up to 8GB cards are supported).
Another issue is the battery, or at least the charging of the battery, which must be done inside the camera unless you buy a third-party charger. It means that if you want to take more than one battery with you for a day of shooting (and you'll want to get a second battery), you'll have to do a little planning ahead with your charging.
Lastly, Samsung uses a proprietary jack in the bottom for data, power, and AV output. A USB cable is included for charging from a wall outlet or a computer as well as an analog cable for connecting to a TV. But, you'll have to shell out about $20 for an adapter if you want to connect by HDMI. This isn't unusual, but it does take away from the package on the whole, especially since HDMI connectivity is one of the upsells from the TL220.
| General shooting options | Samsung DualView TL225 |

| Burst mode shot limit (full resolution) | Unlimited continuous |
Shooting options on the TL225 go deep, but they're overwhelmingly geared for point-and-shoot photography, which is fine. (The only direct controls over shutter speed and aperture are available in the Night scene mode.) The Smart Auto mode automatically chooses the appropriate camera settings based on 11 scene types. Want to pick your scene type? There are 13 to choose from, including a Children mode that starts an animation playing on the front screen in an attempt to get the attention of your subject. Those who don't want to touch any settings can put it in Auto, which locks most options from being changed. My preference was for the TL225's Program mode because you get the most shooting options and control over results, but it takes more user effort. There are several focus options such as the ability to touch your subject onscreen; you can also touch and hold and the camera will focus and shoot (though it would be nice if you could just tap and have it focus and shoot without continuously pushing on the display). There are plenty of little extras, too, such as effective backlight compensation, exposure bracketing, and a motion-sensitive shutter-release timer.
While it's easy to pick up the TL225 and start shooting, I strongly suggest thoroughly reading the manual. Aside from discovering all of the features that are at your disposal, it's the only place you'll find out how using a feature affects others. Turning on face detection, for example, limits other shooting options, and instead of just graying them out or telling you that something's unavailable because of face detection, Samsung just removes the options altogether, leading to a lot of "where was that" menu taps.
Performance is fairly average, neither bad nor exceptional. The camera starts up reasonably fast at 1.5 seconds, but then requires an average wait of 2 seconds between subsequent shots. Turning on the flash only extends that time to 2.6 seconds. It takes a reasonable 0.5 second to focus and shoot in good light and only goes up to 0.7 second in dim conditions. The TL225's burst mode lowers the photo resolution to 640x480 pixels. Nevertheless, it does have a continuous drive option capable of 0.9 frames per second. Worth noting is that we saw a performance difference between a cheap microSDHC card and a slightly more expensive card from a name brand.
The photo quality for the TL225 is overall very good, especially below ISO 400. At ISO 400 subjects get a little softer, but fine detail remains strong thanks to a good balance between noise and suppression. That balance continues up to ISO 800, so low-light performance is better than most ultracompacts. The camera can do full-resolution shots at ISO 1,600 and ISO 3,200, however, noise and suppression kills most detail and causes color shifting and yellowing. The TL225 is capable of taking very sharp photos, but sometimes a little too sharp, which makes subjects crunchy. On the upside, if photos look over-processed, Samsung includes the ability to adjust sharpness, contrast, and color saturation.
The wide-angle lens showed no barrel distortion at its widest position and a barely discernible amount of pincushioning when the lens was fully extended. Other than some distortion out in the corners, the lens was near consistent edge to edge and there was no picture-destroying purple fringing in test shots. However, my guess is chromatic aberration is being digitally removed based on visible fuzzy edges in high-contrast areas when photos are viewed at 100 percent.
Colors are generally accurate and very pleasing; if you don't like them the way they are, the TL225 has several options for tweaking them. The auto white balance was usually better than the presets, which tended to be on the cool side. Exposure was good, though as typical of compact cameras, clipped highlights aren't uncommon and the Smart Auto mode seemed to struggle now and then, resulting in photos that looked washed out. I also don't recommend Smart Auto for self-portraits because it tended to make faces look soft while keeping everything else sharp.
Video quality is very good, and you do get use of the optical image stabilization and zoom while recording. The camera does kill the audio, though, while the lens is in motion so you don't hear it zooming--or anything else for that matter. One pleasant surprise is the ability to apply one of Samsung's Photo Styles to your video, including the Custom RGB option.
The Samsung DualView TL225 is an awesome little camera. It's not for everyone; although its extra abilities are nice, the secondary front LCD is definitely more for those who would rather be in front of the camera than behind it. Also, the touch-screen interface might drive some people insane regardless of how responsive it is. The camera is a standout in design and features and actually solves a real problem instead of just being a gimmick.

Great Pooit and Shoot Camera
by gte959s on December 21, 2009
Pros: Touch Screen functionality is excellent. The front screen has a count down (large numbers) ....no more guessing how many times the red light blink on the camera. Camera takes really good photos for a point and shot.
Cons: The zoom is a rocker button which has to be used with your picture taking finger. Other than that no cons.
Summary: If you like to carry your camera to teh party and want to leave it in your pocket this is an awesome camera. Front screen make this camera awesome. So ...

Must have for new moms!
by naiarazz on December 18, 2009
Pros: For once moms could taking reasonably good pictures with their babies without asking for help from strangers. Haven't you notice how many baby pictures include everyone in the family (including the dogs!) except mom? Exceptionally engineered camera
Cons: Since tiny microSD is required, it renders all my slightly larger Sandisks useless. Why doesn't Samsung include one for easy start? Call me old style but I prefer a thicker manual than the one they provide for slightly more in depth instructions.
Summary: Got to get it for the new moms or your wives who are always busy taking pictures for everyone else with the babies! A bit pricey but where else could ...
Summary: Got to get it for the new moms or your wives who are always busy taking pictures for everyone else with the babies! A bit pricey but where else could you get dual views? It is worthwhile for all those sweet mommy and baby moments. I am a first time mom and my baby will be a year old tomorrow. I wish the camera came out earlier so I could take a lot more pictures with my baby. I also have a canon camera and I was happy with it but I missed a lot of good shots with my baby simply because I couldn't position myself correctly in the picture frame before I push the button. Many of our pictures come out with two chopped faces and I end up deleting them. The dual view features allow you to preview the picture before taking it. It is just that simple! It is made for moms or dads if they are equally obsess with taking pictures with their new born.

Nice features but the touch screen can be a hassle
by MasterJerry on October 6, 2009
Pros: Good resolution. Bigger sensor than most cameras in it's class means better images at the same pixel size. Front screen helps on timer shots and self portraits. The touch screen is nice when you're on the back of the camera.
Cons: It's almost impossible to take a self portrait without accidentally touching the touch screen and getting a menu or a changed setting. Needs to be a way to lock the settiings to get around this problem. Short battery life.
Summary: I've only had the camera a few days now. A bit disappointing that it won't take SD memory which is laying around everywhere. Instead requires micro SD so ...
Summary: I've only had the camera a few days now. A bit disappointing that it won't take SD memory which is laying around everywhere. Instead requires micro SD so had to order special card.
Have found the touch screen to be a mixed blessing. Nice when you're behind the camera but if you're trying to hold the camera and take self pictures your fingers will certainly "touch" the screen and screw up the settings. It's almost impossible to hold the camera and take a picture of yourself without touching the screen.
It has an "auto" and a "smart auto" setting. I found the auto almost always takes better pictures than smart auto. That's counter intuitive.
Battery drains very quickly. The manual says about 90 min. but we found if you're taking pictures and looking at them it dies much quicker than that.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

I LOVE THIS CAM!!!
by EtherMagic on September 9, 2009
Pros: Front LCD, Beauty Mode, awesome Video, TONS of features!
Cons: Moving Subjects in Pic's are Blurry on the TL220, maybe the Extra Action mode on the TL225 will help take care of this problem. Won't know until I officially get the TL225 next week.

Summary: I went to Best Buy yesterday and played around with the TL220 (st500 in Europe and Asia, and is the same cam as the TL225, just less features) for over an hour (no kidding, an employee told me to "Just buy the thing already"lol), and I can not express how much I LOVE this thing!!!
Here are some things I remembered while going over my review while posting this review in the TL220 review section...
I have never had so much fun playing around with a camera before! It is sooo user friendly, I picked it up and knew everything within a couple of minutes!
The Pictures it took where pretty good, it didn't do so well with close moving subjects, much blurr, but still pics where clear and the colors where vibrant. I found a Korean site to where a gentleman who bought this Cam posted a TON of Pic's, they all looked wonderful as-well. He also stated that this was a "Very Very good Cam".
My favorite feature that sent me over the top was the "Beauty Shot" mode and front LCD feature! I have scars on my face due to acne (pretty bad scaring), and I went into Best Buy looking greasy and very sweaty (just got off of work). The pictures I took of myself in Beauty Shot mode made me look like a Model!!! I am not kidding, my face went from greasy and nasty in regular pics I was taking of myself, to looking like I belonged on a runway for a photoshoot once in Beauty Mode!!! I was SHOCKED at how perfectly complected my face looked, you could not see one acne scar or blemish, it was amazing! I did not expect this feature to work so well!!!
I took probably 80 or so pic's of myself, I absolutely love the front screen! Yes, I took pics of myself before, but only for web-sites a forum purposes. With this, it was a BLAST!!! I had so much fun with this camera, I did not expect myself to care to much for the front screen, but I will be using it all the time once I pick-up this cam, I CAN'T WAIT!!!
All I was looking for was a decent point and shoot, and playing with this cam for as long as I did sent me over the edge with all the features it has, I REALLY LOVE IT!!!
The girl at Best Buy told me they Sold Out right away and have the cam on back-order, and that she hears nothing but good things about it (she is actually GOING TO SCHOOL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AND SAID SHE THINKS THE CAM IS A REALLY GOOD BUY, AND SHE WAS NOT SAYING THIS BECAUSE SHE WORKS THERE, i HAVE KNOWN HER FOR ATLEAST A YEAR ALREADY SO WE ARE MORE FRIENDS THEN ME BEING A CUSTOMER TO HER).
I also tested the HD video and it was WONDERFUL!!! Someone posted 3 test vids on YouTube using the tl220, the new compression format makes it look like HD even when choosing not not to watch in HD! Never seen such great quality Vid before in a camera!!! It is also REALLY REALLY cool how you can Pause when recording, and then resume play when you decide to, this way all recordings are on the same file. You can also edit the vid in camera by trimming the vid, meaning takeout parts you don't want and keep what you do want.
I will be getting the TL225 instead of the TL220. It has a bigger screen, metal back instead of the Tl220's plastic back, HDMI inputs that the TL220 does not have, and I believe the TL225 has 2 more modes that the TL220 does not have. One is Action mode (which may fix the blurr in moving subjects, it should), and another mode I have which to identify. The TL225 shows 16 different modes in "Smart Capture" mode, and TL220 shows 14. I know there is something I a missing as-far as something else the TL225 has that the TL220 does not.
Note that both Cams (TL220 and TL225) look identical other then the back screen being bigger on the TL225, and the colors they come in. I do wish the TL225 came in Red and Blue, but the orange will have to do for me. I will also be posting this same review for the TL220 for people looking to get that since thats the actual Cam that I toyed with.
I have done sooo much research on these cams in the past 2 weeks it is ridiculous!!lol I will give a more extensive review once I have this puppy to play with for longer then just a couple of hours.
All I have to say is I LOVE THIS CAM and can't wait to get it, it def exceeded my expectations thus far! :)

The TL225's also has haptic feedback, which vibrates the screen slightly so the user knows when he/she selects a command, TL220 does not have this. The TL225 also wieghs a half-ounce more then the TL220 due to the choice of displays. One more thing to note is that the TL220 3.0-inch LCD screen resolution has 230,000 dots, while the TL225 has much much higher resolution at 1,152,000 dots on it's 3.5-inch LCD, the highest ever resolution on a Point and Shoot Camera (for you newbe's the higher the resolution the clearer the screen will be and you will be able to see more detail on whatever it is you are taking a picture of). To me, the extra $50 for the TL225 is well worth it if you can offord it.
I also posted a little more info in the TL220 review that apply's to both cams (TL220 and TL225) if you wish to check it out. Thanks! :)

Fun to use, good, not great photos, short battery life
by christopherway on December 25, 2009
Pros: Dual screen actually is useful. Somewhat of a gimmick, but nice for framing self portraits. Touch screen is great and with haptic feedback, we don't miss the manual controls (too much anyway).
Cons: - Just average image quality
- Horrible battery lifeSummary: Just average low light performance, over picture quality just average as well which is bit disappointing in this price range. The large touch screen of the TL225 plus the front ...
Summary: Just average low light performance, over picture quality just average as well which is bit disappointing in this price range. The large touch screen of the TL225 plus the front screen really drains the battery down quickly. We are getting about 50 shots per charge occasionally using the flash. Various shooting modes turn off manual control options. It is confusing figuring out which mode will allow to to control what option from manual exposure compensation to auto focus options.Various shooting modes turn off manual control options.
