Samsung TL500 (EX1) review

Fantastic screen, - I used this camera at a concert, and turned the sounds off: the fast lens is wonderfully sharp, the screen's swivelling allowed me to watch the performers and just press silently when the right moment came, the image quality in JPEG is astounding even at 1600 ISO, but my Lightroom 2 doesn't recognise Samsung's RAW files. Wonderful value at $ 455 Australian-- sold out first shipment after Reichmann's rave It'll probably go up in price quickly. I absolutely love this camera- I compared it with the G11 and S90 Canons, and this gazumpped them. The AMOLED screen is the shape of things to come.

Problems:

Why, oh why, don't manufacturers adopt the DNG Raw format???? Also, you have to charge the batteries through a USB cord in camera. Not Good.
