Title: Samsung L74 Wide
Pros: • Rugged but stylish • Fast performance • Sturdy handle • Long warranty • Large, sun-proof display
Cons: • Heavy AC adapter with three-prong AC plug
Summary: Stylish design and a good wide lens don't compensate for this digicam's mediocre image quality, flaky touchscreen, and laughable tour guide.

Title: Samsung L74 Wide
Pros: Good to very good image quality. Accurate metering. Good colour rendition. Long exposure mode. 450 MB of internal memory + SD slot. Solid construction.
Cons: Slow and busy interface. Too few user controls. Images a touch soft. Built-in flash has limited range. World Tour Guide of limited use, yet occupies its own mode dial position.

Title: Samsung L74 Wide
Pros: Stylish, very well built body Wide-angle lens starts at 28mm Huge, 3-inch touchscreen LCD display Advanced Shake Reduction works fairly well, though slows down shot-to-shot speeds AF-assist lamp; good low light focusing Very little redeye; removal tool av
Cons: Images are soft and fuzzy; some overexposure and blown highlights Poor white balance in mixed lighting Touchscreen user interface can be slow and frustrating to use LCD difficult to see outdoors No optical viewfinder Unimpressive continuous shooting mode
Verdict: The L74 Wide is another Samsung camera that's really innovative, but fails to deliver competitive image quality. If Samsung engineers spent a little less time with gimmicks and more time on image quality, then they'd really have something. The L74 Wide is

Title: Camera Test: Samsung L74 Wide
Summary: The L74's wide-angle lens, 3-inch touchscreen interface, and unique Tour Guide feature set it apart from competitors, but photographers who demand first-rate image quality will likely be disappointed.

Title: Samsung Digimax L74 Wide
Pros: Wide lens; large screen; World Tour Guide is a fun if not terribly useful feature.
Cons: Slow performance; noisy, fringe-filled photos; touch screen interface is a pain.
Verdict: A wide lens and nifty tour guide feature simply can't redeem the Samsung L74 Wide from its poor image quality, slow shooting, and irritating interface.
Summary: When you think about camera lenses, "zoom" is probably the first word that comes to mind. Lots of camera manufacturers focus on giving their cameras the longest zoom lenses available, but while 5x, 10x, and 12x lenses are all handy for getting up close to

Title: Review : Samsung L74 Wide Digital Camera
Verdict: The solid battery is stated to have a life of 100 minutes (around 200 shots) between charges and assuming you have a large enough SD card the 100 minutes should also work in movie mode. I found the 800x600 mode used around 14MB of storage per minute of mo
Summary: This is totally different from almost any other digital camera I have reviewed as almost all the settings are adjusted from the TFT touchscreen, certainly a first for me.

Title: Samsung L74 Wide
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Slow and fussy, Overloaded with gimmicks
Verdict: As with many touch systems, the L74's screen can be sluggish, inaccurate and unresponsive. Samsung does its best with large buttons but it's slower than its best nav-pad rivals - or even the innovative 'strokable' menus on some Samsung NV cameras. The sma
Summary: The L74 is a solid, all-metal compact with just a handful of controls

Title: Samsung L74 Camera Is a Virtual Tour Guide (Video)
Verdict: One of the first things you'll notice about the Samsung L74 digital camera is that it doesn't have all that many buttons on the back. That's because the 3.0-inch display is a touchscreen, giving you an intuitive interface with your picture-taking machine.
Summary: Another cool feature on the L74 is that it contains an integrated travel guide. Simply use the touchscreen to navigate to your destination of choice and it'll tell you where the best photo opportunities are..

Title: Samsung L74 Wide
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Slow and fussy, Overloaded with gimmicks
Verdict: Touch-sensitive cameras are a great idea, but their time hasn't quite yet come
Summary: From Apple's eagerly awaited iPhone to an entire generation of satnavs, touchscreens are all the rage. They promise intuitive access tofeatures and an end to complex menus. But are they suited to cameras?
