Samsung TL9

Samsung TL9, which features a ten megapixel CCD image sensor behind a Samsung-branded 5x optical zoom lens. The TL9's lens has actual focal lengths of 6.8 - 34mm The CCD size and hence the 35mm-equivalent focal lengths are currently unknown. Maximum aperture varies from F3.7 to F4.9 across the zoom range. There's no optical viewfinder, with images being framed on a fairly large 2.7" LCD display. The TL9's ISO sensitivity ranges from 80 to 3200, while shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 15 seconds are possible.

The Samsung TL9 includes a face detection function capable of detecting nine faces simultaneously, and also has both smile and blink detection functions, which can be used to prevent capture of a photo until nobody is blinking and everyone's smiling. The Samsung TL9 has 13 scene modes aimed at keeping things approachable for beginner photographers while still offering a degree of control over images. The TL9 also includes Samsung's "Dual Image Stabilization" function, which combines both a true mechanical stabilization function, plus the ability to combat blur using the camera's firmware, automatically raising the camera's ISO sensitivity as needed.
