Review (Summary): "The first Samsung camera to use a 3-inch touch screen, the L74 Wide - Wide is a reference to the 28 mm (equivalent) wide angle end of its zoom - is unassuming and nearly devoid of any external controls.
Built into a very solid, brown-black metallic shell, the Samsung L74 Wide offers a 3.6X optical zoom, and a 7.4 megapixel CCD with 7.2 million effective pixels. The lens retracts fully into the body when the camera is turned off, making it a slim 2.18 cm (0.85 inch), and only slightly bigger than a deck of cards.
... Indeed, in our opinion, the way the interface functions acts to slow down camera operations - excepting image storage - and can lead to missed photos. Even turning the mode dial quickly, let's say from Program to Movie, is accompanied by an animation of a spinning dial on the monitor which adds considerably to the time required to change from one mode to another, and which cannot be deactivated. ..."
