Samsung presented the TL220 and TL225 (known as ST500 and ST550 in Europe), these digital cameras are the first to feature a tiny 1.5" LCD display right next to the lens to make self-portraits a piece of cake. Alternatively, the display can play cute animations to capture kids' attention.

Both 12.2 megapixel cameras sport a 4.6x optical zoom, image stabilization, 720p video capabilities in H.264 format, and a touchscreen rear LCD with haptic feedback. The TL220 has a 3-inch display in the back, while the TL225 (pictured) features a 3.5-inch display that's also much, much sharper. Price is $299.90 / $349.99 for TL220 and TL225, respectively, and both are due out in September.
