The big question, after using this device for almost two weeks, remains – is this a product that answers a question or fulfills a need? The jury is still out. Time will tell if this is something consumers want, but in my opinion it's a strange product ...
Is the Galaxy Camera a game-changer? Yes, and no. In itself, it’s the best of the Android-based cameras, though that’s hardly a well-stocked category. Judged purely on its photography abilities it struggles, falling short of what similarly-priced riva...
Incredibly fun to use, Features galore, The camera's connectivity inventive and useful, Manual mode is approachable, Great Android interface, Powerful hardware
The lens isn't very sharp, Slow image processor, Not much point in using this for voice or video chat, Somewhat heavy
Creating something like the Samsung Galaxy Camera is a risk: Because it's a hybrid device, there's the chance it's both a crappy Android device and a crappy camera. This isn't a perfect camera; it could have a bigger sensor and a better lens. And, of co...

Gorgeous 4.8-inch display. Runs Instagram and other Android apps. Long 21x zoom range. Good high ISO performance. Always-on network connectivity.
Expensive. Large. Touch-based control system is unusual and unwieldy for a camera. Slow 3G connectivity; no 4G. Short battery life
The Samsung Galaxy Camera combines the functions of a Android device and a dedicated camera quite well, letting you whisk your photos and videos to the Web instantly. But this first-gen design also shows room for improvement....
The Samsung Galaxy Camera EK-GC100 is a Samsung flagship device that could potentially change how we use or think about a point-and-shoot camera. It has a lot of elements that will most likely attract photoholics and hobbyists alike. I myself love the “...
Abstract: On a scale from 1 to Awesome, I rate the Samsung Galaxy Camera a 12. My scale is a bit bias since I've been craving a quality Android device with optical zoom since the G1 days, and my full review will be more objective, but allow me to bask in the glory ...
The Samsung Galaxy Camera's feature set is tough to beat, combining the power of a high-end Android OS 4.1 Jelly Bean device with a giant HD-resolution touch screen and the 21x zoom and 16-megapixel resolution of a compact camera
If you're looking for great picture quality for the Galaxy Camera's $500 price tag, you're probably going to be disappointed. Its battery life is fairly short. To get the most from it, you'll want to pay for a monthly data plan
Outside of its relatively high cost of ownership and average point-and-shoot picture quality, the Samsung Galaxy Camera definitely delivers the shoot-and-share experience of a smartphone with the features of a compact camera.
