The Galaxy Camera proves that Android on a point-and-shoot is no gimmick. But until the price drops closer to the level of other compacts, it's not a very practical purchase....
Abstract: I had my first chance to go hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy Camera at PhotoPlus 2012. For those unfamiliar with the new camera, it is an Android-powered hybrid of a camera that is somewhere between a point and shoot camera and a smartphone. The Galax...
Abstract: At first glance, the Nikon Coolpix S800c ($349) looks like just another compact ultra zoom camera. It's anything but ordinary. The Coolpix S800c is one of only two cameras on the market powered by the Android operating system, with the other being Samsung's Galaxy Camera...
Abstract: With its ability to stay connected on the go, the Samsung Galaxy Camera has widely been touted as a game changer for consumer photography. It's the not the first camera with the Android OS as the UI, but it is the first with Jelly Bean 4.1 and 3G connecti...
Abstract: DateFebruary 21, 2013 (0) Read later This 16-megapixel camera is controlled by the Android 4.1 operating system, so it looks and feels like a camera-phone-tablet hybrid. It means it has the usual phone features of 3G, wi-fi, Bluetooth connect...
The Samsung works well. As a travel camera, it gives access to the cloud (Dropbox, iCloud, SkyDrive, etc) for secure back-up wherever there is a wi-fi connection or affordable 3G. Presumably, the best way to use 3G is with a prepaid data card. All the soc...

Vivid 4.8in 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 cu
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, $599

Maybe, actually. For all its foibles, the Galaxy camera is a lot of fun to use. Maybe this thing's nothing more than a toy, but it's a really entertaining toy. People want to instantly share an image — they just don't want to sacrifice quality to do it. S...
