The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a weird beast, but it could well find its place in the world. It's not really a phone or tablet replacement, but as a good quality camera with user-friendly, well-developed software for connecting, sharing and editing on th...
Abstract: Today's smartphones take photos that are good enough for casual snaps and it is great being able to share photos to Facebook and elsewhere within seconds of taking them. However, one feature they lack is an optical zoom.Cue the Samsung Galaxy Camera. Y...
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a great device and I loved my time with it, it wasn't ideal that every photo I took was snowy, but the shots I got were really nice. I found I could take low light photos better than any device I'd used before, including the N...

Abstract: €399 Samsung.co.ukSamsung gives us a vision for the future of all cameras – its just not quite there yet…When Samsung unveiled this camera just before Christmas, many were a bit confused. Why on earth is it putting a smartphone operating system on a came...
Vivid 4.8-inch rear display is largest ever on a digital camera, can connect to the Internet direct from the camera via any available Wi-Fi network, 21x optical zoom offers plentiful framing options for 16 megapixel stills or Full HD video, can update and customise the camera via downloadable apps
Easy to get lost in the flashy features and forget that this is actually a camera too, asking price is high for a camera of only snapshot quality, removable media is the small and fiddly microSD, larger than the average pocket snapshot too
Naturally we're paying a premium here for the innovation on display, whilst over-paying for ‘mere' snapshot quality images, but there is little doubt that one day all cameras will be made this way
Fantastic screen, Good image and video quality, Android functionality opens up uses beyond any other camera on the market
Occasional UI slowdown, Pricey, Battery life could be better,
Would we still recommend the Samsung Galaxy Camera over the Sony RX100? You bet we would - for a certain kind of user anyway. We've said it time and time again, at CES the Android functions of the Galaxy Camera proved invaluable to us, and would to other...
WiFi and 3Gconnectivity, Any apps from Google Play can be installed, Same touchscreen as Galaxy S3: great viewing angles, comfort of use, Photo app is nice to use and fully functional (PSAM modes, etc.), General video quality
Sensitivity isn't handled as well as in the firm's other cameras, Image sharpness isn't consistent over the frame at maximum zoom setting, Bulky
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is king of connectivity and offers plenty of potential to evolve. It's an attractive package for connected users. At wide-angle it takes better phones than most phones (except the unusual Nokia 808) and completely surpasses them ...
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a gorgeous bit of kit, with a dazzling large screen (the best we’ve ever seen on a camera). Its version of Android, 4.1, is much more up to date than that found on the Android-powered Nikon Coolpix S800c, and runs all sorts of apps, even video players and games.As a way to introduce amateurs into the world of photography, it excels: the on-screen dials in Expert mode
We could complain about the lack of software fine tuning - it’d be great if more apps could make use of the optical zoom on the camera. As with the Nikon, you’re better off taking shots first and then opening them in your Android camera app of choice. We could also complain about the meagre battery life, more in line with a modern smartphone than a compact camera - you’ll need to get used to char
With the Samsung Galaxy Camera, the Korean giant is definitely onto something. Between the data connection, seamless uploading, image editing and charging via micro USB, almost all of the hassles of using a camera have been removed. Sadly though, for t...
Superb touchscreen, Seamless connectivity, Large focal range, Intuitive operation
Poor battery life, Some image quality issues, Would benefit from i-Function lens functionality
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is an ambitious blend of digital camera and mobile device that, for now at least, occupies a unique position within the digital camera market. And, in many ways it's a success too. As a camera, it's fairly well featured with a fa...
