Samsung EX1(TL500) photos

Overall, the TL500 has an attractive, functional design that I like. But I did run into a few frustrating accident-prone control locations. One is the jog dial on the grip that controls exposure compensation, shutter speed, aperture, and so on (depending upon mode). It's hard to differentiate the feel of the wheel from the grip. That means it's hard to find when you want it, but it's also hard to tell if you've accidentally pressed or turned it. I ended up accidentally shooting a group of photos with the exposure compensation bumped up because of it.

A Perfect Day for the Grand Canyon Tour!

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

The Grand Canyon…I had heard about this place more than a thousand times!

Two weeks ago, I FINALLY saw the Grand Canyon!

It was a bright and perfect day for my tour. I left the hotel and headed to the Grand Canyon Airport around 10 A.M.

We took this cute tour bus. It was easy for the general public to see where we were headed.

People were waiting for the helicopters and the airplanes. Our airplane was a bit late, so we had to wait about an hour.

I was already tired even before the tour started when I finally boarded this airplane; however, I gave no complaints once I saw the view through the airplane window. I was flying over the Colorado River and the Hoover Dam!

After the one hour flight, the airplane landed at the Grand Canyon National Park Airport. The airport was much colder than I thought; it felt close to freezing! I regretted not carrying my thick jacket.

We started the bus tour in the park. The real Grand Canyon tour has started.

These shots are from Mather Point which is the most popular vantage point of the Grand Canyon. The sky was so blue and the Grand Canyon made my jaw drop in awe! I felt like I was standing at the edge of the earth! My first impression of the Grand Canyon was perfect for me. :)

Bright Angel Lodge, a series of stone and wood buildings along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, was the second point we visited. Fortunately, we arrived just before sunset.

Samsung TL500/EX1 Review

Review based on a production Samsung EX1

As DSLRs have become less expensive, the number of people keen to buy high-end, manually controllable compact cameras has fallen away - so long as camera size isn't an issue, the benefits of a larger sensor are hard to resist. However, because size is a concern for some people, the sector didn't die-off entirely and, in July 2008, Panasonic introduced the DMC-LX3, finally giving an alternative to Canon's well-respected G-series.

Now Samsung, another vast electronics specialist wanting to show off its photographic credentials has introduced the TL500 (EX1 outside North America), a pretty little thing that follows the LX3 recipe of a fast, wide (though reach-limited) zoom lens in a fairly compact metal body. The Samsung offers an impressive F1.8-2.4 zoom lens that covers a range from the very wideangle 24mm equivalent out to 72mm equiv. making it a fraction faster than the LX3 at the wide end and a touch longer at the other.

The other standout feature of the TL500 is undoubtedly its rear screen - not only does it have a fully articulated screen, it also has the excellent VGA-equivalent OLED screen we first saw on the NX10. In principle OLED screens can be more efficient and offer greater contrast than LCD panels because they can selectively light just the pixels that need to be illuminated. They also promise greater viewing angles.

In many other respects the TL500 closely mimics the LX3's design though it adds a direct video record button, despite only offering rather dated VGA video recording. This limitation, coming from a 10MP, 1/1.7" CCD, strongly suggests the camera is based around the same high sensitivity Sony sensor as the Canon G11 and S90.

Overall it's an impressive specification, packing a lot of desirable features, such as RAW capability and easy manual control into its stylish form.

10 million pixel 1/1.7" sensor (0.43 cm²)

Side by side

It's clear from this picture that the Samsung isn't as small as the Panasonic LX3 that has clearly played heavily on the minds of its designers. Canon's S90 is smaller still, however the TL500/EX1 isn't as large as Canon's G11.
The TL500 is slightly larger in every dimension than Panasonic's LX3, which is itself larger than the S90


The flip-out screen helps ensure the TL500 can't quite match the LX3 for compactness, though it will still fit in a coat pocket easily enough, providing always-with-you convenience

3 Samsung cameras ranked in Top 10 cameras!

CNET Asia, one of the most renown consumer electronic online-portals for reviews, has recently updated their list of “Top 10 cameras” selecting 5 compacts and 5 interchangeable lens cameras(ILCs). Three Samsung cameras; NX10, EX1(TL500) and PL150(TL210) fairly took their positions in the latest Top 10 camera charts.

On Friday IFA finally opened its gates for the 50th time, and we were at the location to deliver you with the hottest updates. Along with the EX1(TL500), which was awarded with this year’s EISA-award; WB2000(TL350), NX10 and the brand-new ST100, ST600, HMX-E10 and HMX-T10 were only a few of the products available for booth visitors.

However the greatest spotlight was reserved for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch touchpad and the new Galaxy Player 50, MID, both based on Android OS.

Oh, since my last post almost a month elapsed. That’s a lot of time, a lot happened in that period. I had a lot of happiness and pleasure, but it came at a very unpleasant thing. Our beloved dog Cortnay, unfortunately died.

I wanted to thank him for the time when he was with us. Thank you puppy, we will remember You forever!

We are very sad without him, but life goes on. Now all our strength, we can devote our daughter. Natasha is now almost 7 months. Does not have teeth, but begins to walk!

As a holder of two cameras NX10 with set of lenses and EX1 I have a problem. I do not know the more I want to use. Of course, between them is very big difference, but both are superb. For the EX1 does not have only a wide-angle converter, I am curious how it works. EX1 is has one maybe more ;) advantages over the NX10 has a super macro mode (Of course, unless the NX10 will not have a macro lens). And I love the photos taken from very close range. Ordinary things become extraordinary time.

Recently, I came to the conclusion that the work bothered me in my hobby. I have so many ideas for pictures that I have to do something about it. I should decide on the style. As each photo is from a different barrel.Soon more photos
