Samsung taking all that complexity out of pointing
and shooting with the 12.2 megapixel TL100

Yes, we know just how hard it can be to take pictures with your standard compact
digital camera, what with the whole shutter button and all. Thank goodness for
Samsung, who will take ease of use to a \"new level\" this spring with the TL100 slim
camera, capable of automatically detecting whether you're taking a picture of a
mountain or a person and toggling the appropriate mode accordingly. It can even go
ahead and just take the durned picture for you in certain modes, able to tell when
everyone has their eyes open or is beaming a sufficiently big enough smile. It will
also take 800 x 592 videos at 20fps, and manages to pack a 2.7-inch TFT LCD into a
body that Samsung says is just 16mm thick -- if you don't count the protrusion from
the 3X lens. Since that lens is decidedly non-removable, we think we will.
