Samsung Intros Two 12MP Cameras

Samsung's new TL320 and HZ15W cameras feature 12 megapixel resolutions and 24mm Schneider lenses - and the TL320 sports a 3-inch AMOLED display.

Just a week after introducing a quartet of new SL-seres cameras, Samsung has introduced two new 12 megapixel shooters, the TL320 and HZ15W. Samsung says the TL320 is the first camera to feature a 3-inch AMOLED display with HVGA resolution; meanwhile, the HZ15W sports a 10× optical zoom and both optical and digital image stabilization.

The TKL320 technically offers a 12.2 megapixel resolution, a 5× optical zoom, that 3-inch HVGA AMOLED display, and the ability to record 720p high-definition video and push it back out to a TV via HDMI—although an optional cradle is needed. The TL320 sports both optical and digital image stabilization, a full manual mode for folks who want to control every detail of a shot, along with consumer friendly features like face detection, smile detection, and blink detection. The camera has built-in functions to correct red-eye, and advanced picture mode that can automatically adjust color tones, and dual analog gauges that display available battery life and storage capacity. The TL320 should be available in May in either black or silver housings for a suggested price of $379.99.

The HZ15W comes in with an even 12 megapixels of resolution and the aforementioned 10× optical zoom. The camera features a 3-inch plain-old TFT-LCD display, the ability to capture 720P video, image stabilization (optical and digital), plus face-smile-blink detection. The HZ15W should be available in March for a suggested price of $329.99.
