This allows it to capture significantly more light than the TL350. Other enhancements include support for RAW image format and an enhanced CMOS sensor that performs better. The caveat, however, is that the TL500 is restricted to standard definition (480p/30fps) videos, unlike its 1080p HD counterpart. Similarities across both cameras include built-in flash, a 3.0” AMOLED display, 10MP stills, and a 3200 ISO sensitivity level. Additional features include shutter-priority, aperture-priority, full manual mode, and a hot shoe for external flash.
