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

Average camera performance, but has an aboveaverage asking price, Size and handling make it unwieldy for some, Accidentally setting a new AF point or snapping a shot due to large display, Expert mode is cumbersome, White balance adjustable in expert mode

The idea that Samsung portrays is that you can use the Galaxy Camera anywhere, get better photos than a regular smartphone camera, edit (if needed) and share it online instantly and seamlessly. However, throughout my time spent with it I can't help but ...
