Abstract: £400Samsung 's new Galaxy Camera is a unique proposition – is it a phone, thanks to its 3G sim card, or a camera? The answer is clearly the latter, and in fact the 3G emphasis in the marketing is probably something of a red herring. Making phone calls...
Sturdy, destinctive design, Impressive 21x optical zoom, Giant 4.8 " super LCD screen, Full Android 4.1 on-board
Unit seemed to be a bit top heavy, Difficult to hold at times, First of its kind so more likely to sufer from bugs, Design, With a crisp white and brushed metal finish the unit is certainly a bit of a looker. The massive 4.8” super clear LCD screen looks
I have to say I have really enjoyed using this unit and it certainly takes excellent quality photos but can't see myself ever taking the plunge and getting one. I'm not really a huge photographer but can appreciate that for bloggers or keen social network...

Gorgeous 4.8in display, Runs Instagram and other Android apps, Long 21x zoom range
Rather expensive, A large device, Touch, based control system is unwieldy
The Samsung Galaxy Camera appeals to a very specific type of photographer. If getting your photos online moments after they're shot is of paramount importance, then the always-on 3G data connectivity and Android operating system will be a boon to your ph...
As connected as cameras get, Android experience takes the operating system to a whole new level, excellent price when considering the SGS3, great for multimedia playback, in-camera video editor
It's big, expensive in compact terms, potentially long start-up time, no 4G, soft images when extending the zoom, mid-high ISO settings no good for critical work, mis-focusing can be a problem, would have liked one physical function button, can occasional
Android and connectivity is a delight, but the camera - the supposed core of the device - is the Galaxy Camera's weak point. It's good in use, and the rear screen looks ace, but the final images lack the sharpness they ought to have. There's so much po...
Excellent touchscreen. All the benefits of Android and associated apps. 3G connectivity. Range of video recording frame rates, including low-res 120fps. 21x optical zoom
Short battery life. Overall photo quality is OK, but may not be worth the price for some users
A fresh and very successful re-imagining of what a camera should be and how it should work. Spot-on for anyone who wants an easy way to share their pictures without being restricted to smart phone resolutions and quality levels, and very fairly priced ...
Responsive touchscreen controls, Social integration, Advanced and auto modes, Great apps, Impressive images
A little big for some, Can't use it as a phone, No macro shortcut
Reviewed and rated Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich review It may not be the best compact camera on the market, but the Samsung Galaxy Camera is certainly one of the easiest and most fun to use. The image quality is also good, way beyond what the average ...
Large 4.8-inch touch screen is a great feature, Menu structure is organized similarly to a smartphone, 21X optical zoom lens really sets this model apart from smartphones, Built-in Wi-Fi makes it easy to share photos on social networking sites, Popup flas
Price is high compared to other models with similar image quality, Larger image sensor would help this camera's image quality, Shutter lag problems are common with the Galaxy Camera, There's some image softness in most photos, Noise will appear in many lo
Because the Samsung Galaxy Camera is so fun to use, I nearly gave it a much higher star rating than is listed here. However, my overriding rule when awarding star ratings is that image quality is a primary consideration. If the camera doesn't shoot great...
