A camera is for capturing the memories you share with your friends and family. But when you want to be in the picture too, holding it out and clicking, hoping the shot will be centered on your faces, doesn’t always turn out like you hoped. Now you can make sure you’re in the photos too, without cutting off half of your face or having to use a timer, with the Samsung DualView TL220 digital camera. One of the first of its kind, the DualView TL220 not only has a large rear 3-inch LCD, but it also features a 1.5-inch LCD on the front so you can get the perfect shot of you and a loved one without having to guess where to focus or retake it five times.
Capable of taking high-quality pictures with 12.2 megapixels, the DualView TL220 also uses Advanced Dual Image Stabilization that helps users get crystal clear, blur-free pictures even when the camera is not completely still. Its 27mm wide-angle lens and 4.6x optical zoom will allow a wide range of possibilities when trying to capture a gorgeous landscape or focus on small details. The camera can also record video at 30 frames per second at 1280 x 720p resolution. The camera’s rear LCD Screen is equipped with touch screen navigation, allowing users to scroll through menus and the picture library with the touch of a finger.
The Samsung Dualview has another unique feature new to the digital camera realm — ChildMode. When switched over, this feature will display animations on the front screen that will catch the attention of small children so you will be sure to capture their smiles while they are looking directly at the camera. $229.
