The touch screen – the only access to camera controls – is intuitive and responsive

This camera is good
Really good. The software and management features are significantly ahead of traditional camera brands and the fact that it comes with a full blown Jelly Bean OS
1.4GHZ quad core processor is an advantage. 3G and Wi Fi are also thro
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
Great combination of technology
You can use it to send and receive SMS
Macro ability is actually decent
Long lens
The editors didn't like
The touch screen is super sensitive and it is easy to accidentally take photos. Fortunately they don't cost anything but they are time wasters when sorting through pictures
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
What's missing is accessories such as a decent camera case or mini tripod. A slot for a hot swap flash would also be an advantage especially if you want to use a stronger flash with its own battery pack.
Short battery life. Overall photo quality is OK
But may not be worth the price for some users
Battery life is poor
Reasonbly bulky
Not exactly the fastest camera to switch on
Proprietary HDMI port
Many apps aren't really designed for a camera with optical zoom
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...

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...

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is certainly a unique proposition, and while we like it a lot, it won't be for everyone.Socialites who just have to share the latest thing will love it, and hipsters looking for a better camera than what's offered by their iPhone...
Buying Guide Best compact camera 2012 We think Samsung has a hit on its hands with the Samsung Galaxy Camera, which is priced at £399/AU$599/US$499.99. It seems to have grabbed the attention of lots of people. Many of the people we showed it to - both pho...
Let me set the scene before we get started here. Since Apple started making its iPhone devices, I've been an Apple smartphone guy. I'm also a PC guy through and through, but it hasn't stopped me owning Mac products. In kind of the same principle here,...
