Samsung TL500 (EX1) review

Build quality is unmatched. I never expected Samsung to bring out a camera of this caliber. The lens is superbly sharp and wonderfully fast. The control layout is logical and intuitive. Image quality is on par with the Panasonic LX3, Canon G11, and S90 cameras. The OLED screen is fantastic. I will more manufacturers would switch to OLED screens on their cameras.

Problems:

No paper instruction manual provided is a pain. The viewfinder is greatly missed on a camera of this caliber. Built in flash is weak (typical) and presently the accessory flash isn't available at the store. A filter adapter and hood isn't available yet either.
