Seeing Double: Samsung DualView Digicam Comes with Two LCDs

Posted by on August 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Samsung this week announced two new point-and-shoot digital cameras — the TL225 and TL220 — both of which sport two LCD screens, a 3.5-inch one on the back (slightly smaller on the TL220) and a less traditional placement on the front with a 2.5-inch display. So what’s the point of a front-mounted LCD?

"With one LCD located on the front of the camera and other one on the back of the camera, photographers can now step out from behind the camera and join their subjects in the photo," Samsung wrote in a blog post.

Samsung also says the front-mounted display will come in handy for taking profile pics for social networking sites. We think it’s the perfect feature who can’t stop looking at themselves.

Both cameras also boast a 12.2MP, 1/2.33-inch CCD sensor, 27- to 124.2mm, f/3.5-5.9 8.6x zoom lens, and the ability to shoot 720p HD videos at 30fps.

The TL225 and TL220 will be available in September for $350 and $300 respectively.
