Samsung TL500 (EX1) review
2

If I had the opportunity to design and build a camera this is as close to being my "dream camera" as I can imagine.
Build quality is fantastic, nice weight and balance, fantastic lens with superb low light results and the articulating LCD is the icing on the cake.
I cannot praise this camera enough. It really has that wow factor.
I have owned the Panasonic LX3 and Canon S90 and while they are both good cameras, the EX1 (TL500) outshines them both, literally!

Problems:

No problems at all although I was a bit dissapointed that the camera did not come with a external battery charger and the battey had to be charged in camera so to speak.
However I was easily able to obtain a external charger and a couple of extra batteries for very little money.
