The Canon S90 and Panasonic’s LX3 have been the Pro Photographers point-and-shoot camera of choice for quite some time, but that’s about to change with the introduction of Samsung TL500.

The Samsung TL500 is a 10 megapixel high-end point & shoot camera, it have that P&S portability but works like an SLR. Like the Canon S90 and the Panasonic LX3 the lens is not removable, and it features full manual control that an SLR user would love.

The selling factor of this camera is it’s great 24mm f/1.8 wide-angle lens. The minimum aperture of f/1.8 allows the TL500 to gather more light, making perform great in low light situation as it collect more accurate colours. The shallow dept of field allows the subject to be focused while blurring the background smoothly, the effect which you can only get with a real SLR camera.
