Samsung HZ35W
$326.99
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Zoom range up to 15x. Large (3") AMOLED display. Integrated GPS for geo-tagging.
The Cons:The lens is even more likely to suffer from gross distortions at wide angle, since no lens can be optimized for wide angle and telephoto at the same time. (HINT: Get a camera that's optimized for wide angle if that's what you want.). The lens is likely to suffer from several distortions at the long end of the zoom, unless Samsung pulls off a miracle that no other camera maker has. The Canon SX-210 has a more useful zoom range for a pocket camera (28-392 mm). Wide angles for pocket cameras to ostensibly capture more detail is contradictory, since the tiny sensors can't capture the extra detail anyway.

Glen Godfrey:
#samsung_hz35w It is a very good option for long telephoto shoots and you need not require a tripod also, but the low light pictures are terrible. It does not support the GPS function. How can you recommend this camera? It is impossible to use the GPS function. You have to load the maps. The US site has been down for months.
