Samsung HZ15W
Pocketable megazooms are very popular this year. Samsung has two in its spring 2009 lineup: the
HZ15W and HZ10W. The major specifications separating the two are megapixels and LCD size. The
15W is a 12.2-megapixel model with a 3-inch display, the 10W is a 10.2-megapixel camera with a 2.7-
inch LCD. Both have 24mm wide-angle lenses with 10x zooms.

Samsung HZ10W
The 10-megapixel HZ10W from Samsung looks wonderful on paper. A compact camera with a 10x
megazoom wide-angle 24mm Schneider lens and a whole mess of features.
You get 720p HD video capture at 30fps using H.264 for good-quality compression and the zoom
works while shooting. The video mode also lets you pause and resume capture so you don't end up
with a bunch of small files.
There's optical image stabilization, too, so your photos aren't a blurry mess when that lens is
extended. And for those that like a lot of control, you'll be able to adjust the HZ10W's settings
manually for things like shutter speed, aperture, exposure, and focus. I also wouldn't doubt the
inclusion of multiple settings for color, sharpness, and contrast.

Yes, the dual analog gauges--one for battery life, the other for remaining storage--are a novelty, but
they're definitely cool looking.

If you're into screens, the AMOLED one on the TL320 is pretty sweet.

Samsung TL100
Like any decent point-and-shoot camera in its class, the TL100 has a largish LCD at 2.7 inches. It
also has the shooting options currently in vogue: face, smile, and blink detection, auto scene
recognition, and full-resolution ISO settings up to 1600.
