[CES 2010] We think it is pretty amazing that should the idea of a dualview camera actually be unveiled a few years back, most people would classify it as being crazy. Well, fast forward to today and crazy ideas gain more traction, with Samsung’s DualView TL210 digital camera. By the name itself you can probably infer that it comes with two screens, albeit in a totally different format compared to the Nintendo DS (and its iterations). The TL210 will come with an interesting feature that shows off a 1.5″ color LCD display located on the front of the camera, allowing you to capture self-portraits without leaving the outcome to chance, while you have another much larger display behind the camera to give it a semblance of normalcy. We find another enhancement known as the Child Mode to be rather interesting – after all, haven’t parents tried to get their kids to stay still before snapping a family photo? That tough task supposedly gets easier with the Child Mode that plays a musical tune in order to capture a child’s attention, although we think a bribe involving ice cream afterwards might be more effective. No idea on how much the DualView TL210 will cost, but it will hit the market in March later this year. Released alongside it would be the slightly less-featured TL205, where you can find their respective detailed specifications in the extended post.
