Re: The TL350 is Freaking Awesome

I had the same experience!

I loved my TL350. Took it on a 220 mile backpacking trip. The wide angle and fantastic video mode made it the perfect choice. Then, like some here, it started to go a bit 'off' half way through the hike (and I was not really abusing the poor camera). It would chronically overexpose. So much so that the sky would often be completely blown. Oddly, it exposed perfectly in movie mode, so I made it a habit to simply take movies, and then take a still during the movie. Obviously a work around.

When I returned, I contacted Samsung, and they were actually pretty responsive after some phone calls. They realized it could not be fixed, the didn't have any more new ones, and offered something of similar size that only went to 28mm wide. I really wanted the 24mm equiv, so they sent me a new EX1 as well.

Yesterday I sold the EX1 on eBay. It was a fine camera, but really a tank compared to the diminutive TL350, and only 480p video.

Now I am searching for a small replacement. Would you believe the only tl350s available are priced the same as Pentax's Q!? That is > $400! Samsung - there is obviously a demand for this combination. Can we please have more?
