The editors liked
The touch screen – the only access to camera controls – is intuitive and responsive
Although we did find it stuck on a couple of occasions. Being Android based file management is excellent – simply plug it into a PC (or a Mac using the Android file manag
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

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: Not that long ago, phone cameras were something exciting and novel. I can still remember the “exciting” 0.3 MP camera that came with my Nokia 5140. The idea of having a camera inside a phone was in itself groundbreaking, and no one seemed to care about th...

Relatively expensive for a fixed-lens, small-sensor camera, As big as many large-sensor cameras, before you consider the lens, Pretty heavy for a fixed-lens camera, Popup flash mechanism feels coarse, catches sometimes when pushed down, LCD monitor's P...
They've long been predicted, and the first round of Android cameras are finally here. Two companies -- Nikon and Samsung -- got the ball rolling, and we were fortunate to be able to compare both cameras side-by-side. Unfortunately, but not entirely sur...

Abstract: I enjoy using my Samsung Galaxy Note II and the more I test the camera and compare it to other smartphones, the more impressed I am by the solid performance. Samsung took their camera experience to the next level with the Samsung Galaxy Camera, but the ad...
Easily share pictures with LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity, 21x zoom, Many automatic and manual shooting modes, Runs any app compatible with Android 4.1, HDMI-out
Price, Monthly service fee, Larger than your average compact camera
The Galaxy Camera has a lot of cool features and functionality that you won't find on other cameras, such as the ability to run Android apps, surf the web, and edit photos. With the ability to connect to Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network as well as Wi-Fi n...
Quality: about average; no more.Why you would buy the Samsung Galaxy: it's the latest iDevice.Why you wouldn't: expensive for a camera; despite its glamorous Android and Wi-Fi trappings it's no more than a point-and-shoot digicam; you hate touch screens.M...
Abstract: Samsung Galaxy Camera: It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… “The best camera is the one that’s with you”, goes the well-known motto of a famous smartphone and compact camera manufacturer, while Facebook and Instagram users would likely add “…and the one th...

As I alluded to earlier, I really didn't get on with the Samsung Galaxy Camera when I first started using it, in fact I positively hated it! It wasn't as responsive as a traditional compact camera, and the image quality was nowhere near what I'd expect fo...
Abstract: Next up on our review agenda is the Android-powered Galaxy Camera by Samsung. We are not handling with the Wi-Fi only version but the cellular one powered by Verizon's 4G LTE. We already gave the Wi-Fi only model a test spin back in October. Inte...
The Galaxy Camera is a great camera. I've really enjoyed my time with it. But what blew me away was how quickly you can go ahead from a cold boot to opening the camera. It's almost as fast as booting up my Samsung Chromebook. Another thing that blew me ...
