This is my Grand daughters review of her new camera. She even took a few of the pictures here of the camera.

"My new camera from Samsung is awesome. I love everything about it, except that the LCD screen is a little dark, but I don't know if it's always like that or if there is a way to fix it. I would totally recommend this camera to anyone that wants a camera that is fun and full of easy to use features.

If you like the big and simple cameras then I wouldn't recommend the Samsung. If you like smaller cameras, or touch screens like the iPhone that are easy to fit in your pocket or purse, then I would recommend it.

The Samsung TTL 220 has very cool features, is small enough to fit in the back pocket of my jeans, and has dualview touchscreen LCDs. My favorite feature is the LCD in the front. It shows you how you're going to take a picture almost exactly. It even has an animated feature that cheers up a baby; a clown on a big bouncy ball just doing random stuff that hopefully entertains the baby while you get the shot. The Samsung is a 12.2 mega pixel with a 4.6X optical zoom lens.

The camera's touch screen is my other favorite part. The company recommends using the stencil pen thing (comes with it) but I think it is easier to just use your fingers. It also reacts to motion, like if you turn it to the sides it will go to the next photo. You can protect your photos and choose your favorite photos. You have six different modes; you have a auto mode, a program mode, a scene mode, a dual mode, a video mode, and a smart mode. There are six different flash modes; an off mode, Auto, red-eye, fill in, slow sync, and red-eye fix. It's really a fun camera, and I love mine!"

Note: The Samsung TL220 and ST500 DO NOT take the SD Memory Card, they take the Micro SD cards. These micro cards do not come with the camera, but can be purchased with an adapter that looks like a regular SD Memory Card for inserting your micro card into your laptop or card reader.

"The Samsung TL 220 has very cool features, my favorite is the LCD in the front. It shows you how you're going to take a picture almost exactly. It even has a feature that cheers up a baby; if a baby is upset you put it on the child app mode. It's a clown on a big bouncy ball just doing random stuff that supposedly cheers up the baby.

This camera really has some cool features, and I played a lot with the front screen at my birthday party with my friends. We took pictures of all of us together and it was nice not to crop anyone's head off. We could see what the picture would look like because of the front screen and the frame guard."

The Samsung TL220 is the United States model of the dualview camera, and the European model of the same camera is the ST500. Europe often has the same camera as the United States but with a different name.This can be confusing, and many people don't know where to buy the camera.
