DualView Tl210 review; Great Camera,
I’ve had this camera for a while now. Originallyy bought this camera for my wife because of the DualView feature, but I’m liking this camera as much as she is. The Camera comes with a charger and a CD owners manual. It has the usual layout for point and shoot digital Cameras; Auto, Program, Dual (dual stabilization), Beauty shot, Night, Scene (Has sub-menu for portrait, etc), Movie and Smart Auto.
The Movie feature for video recording is HD 720p quality. This is just as good as a Flip video recorder (except I don’t have to carry an extra recorder, All I need is my Camera). One thing to note is that you loose sound when you zoom while recording, but considering that Flip recorders and the other mini-recorders do not have zoom, so considering that it really is better than those products. You don’t have to spend money on a Camera and a mini Camcorder. There was something else my friends noticed when I recorded, which was that it didn’t give them a headache or make them nauseated. I didn’t think about this before but when you watch other peoples home videos and you zoom in and out it tends to nauseate or give people headaches. (I stopped zoomiing while recording; I would stop zoom and start and my friends noticed the difference in nausea)
The battery life is good, I read other reviews which stated the battery life was not good but, I can use this Camera for 5 days taking about 300 pictures and still have a little juice left. (I purposely did not charge the Camera to test the Battery life because of the other reviews) I also purposely left the Camera on for 3 hours straight and turned the camera on and off repetitively to see if I could figure out what the other people were complaining about. I never had any problems and leaving it on for 3 hours barely used up the battery. Turning the power on and off repetitively didn’t affect the battery much either. I was at Ritz Camera and was talking to the employee there to see if he knew of other customers complaining, he stated he never had an actual costumer complain at the store but he has seen the mystery online reviewers. He stated maybe the touch screen version uses more battery power. (The TL210 is not touch screen; TL220 and TL225 are touch screen) The Camera guy at the store stated they didn’t have issues with people even returning this camera because of battery life and the other 2 employees that were working that day stated they didn’t have that complaint either. But he did add in theory the touch screen may use more battery power (he thought that was unlikely but a possible theory) He went on the state the more likely issue is a bad battery, he stated this can happen with any Camera and Sony cameras have this issue a lot because they are slim with small batteries.
For me if the battery last more than 24 hours I’m good because I am usually able charge it by then. Also viewing your pics using a computer usb charges this Camera. Anyways if you are worried about battery life, don’t be, Unless you are going to be in an area with no power or computer for more than 4 days.
The picture quality is great. Compares well the the 3 other cameras I have. I have a Casio Ex-slim (only 3megapixel), a Canon powershot 14.1 megapixel and a Sony 10.2 Megapixel. Other than the Casio which has a 3 megapixel quality, I can’t telll the difference from the Canon, Samsung or the Sony. I am not a professional and after 6 megapixel, I really don’t notice the differences in the 3 inch LCD screens or on a 4×6 print out. If I enlarged these pictures to a life size poster maybe I will see a difference, but on a normal print or a calender size print I do not see a difference. (The Casio, yes there is a difference in quality, but that is excepted, the casio is very old and only 3 megapixel. The Canon is a couple of years old and the Sony is a only a year old. Now for those reviewer who compare a point and shoot with a SLR $1500 dollar camera, that is not a logical comparison. I personally could not tell the difference in the pictures so I decided to print 5 shots and compare it with the other photos I had from the other Cameras. I asked a few friends without telling them which photo was from which camera and wanted to check if they could tell a difference. None of them could really tell the difference (other than the Casio, which again is not a fair comparison). For the people who have questions about the quality of the picture, you should try this as well. Have someone else take the picture and let them print and shuffle it around. See if you can pick out the Canon photos from the other ones. I bet you will be very suprised. One of my friends has a bias against Sony products because her and her mother who had a Sony TV a few years back had the TVs blow out after a year (Right as the warranty was up) She is sure that Sony products are junk, but if you ever talk to guys who work at electronics stores they tell you this can happen, usually a bad…

|Video Recording is limited,
LOVE the camera so far as I’ve taken it to a few theme parks in SoCal to understand it prior to the big trip to Australia… one thing I tried just recently is the VIDEO mode on the camera. Picture clarity was pretty good, and the sound came through as if I were there… ALTHOUGH… when you ZOOM in and out the sound cuts out.
From Samsung’s troubleshooting page and manual it acknowledges the fact this will occur and the recommended fix for this is to first adjust the zoom to where you want it PRIOR to recording. I can’t fathom why one earth anyone would NOT zoom in and out of a live event, so this actually mind boggles me. I suppose if you’re using the video recording feature to do a movie that you’re editing later, then yeah… you don’t zoom, but for the average everyday user this seems highly unacceptable. The point of the camera seems to be this: Takes pretty good snapshots, has a front LCD display so you can take shot of yourself, and the lens is pretty decent. This is NOT a camera to be shooting videos with if you plan to zoom in and out of your subject area.
