    CNET Review

    October 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.

    Review Summary: Usually I'd spend a lot of time running down features and talking about performance before giving you the bottom line on Canon's new pocketable camera. But I just can't be coy about this one.

    Review Summary: Excellent image quality, a unique front-facing LCD for self-portraits, and a big, high-resolution touch-screen make Samsung's TL225 a true winner.
