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

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
I n the current digital age, it is increasingly more important to be able to share content with others immediately. With the Galaxy Camera, Samsung has made this possible in a clever way. By combining years of expertise in the areas of mobile callin...
Abstract: I am Samsung's biggest fan, and so was excited when I first saw this, a well-featured camera with WiFi, 3G and an Android operating system. I became progressively less excited, however, when I got to play with it. It is so large and white you might mistak...
Good quality camera, beautiful interface, powerful zoom,
Bulky and heavy (for a phone), no phone calls
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a weird beast, but it could well find its place in the world. It's not really a phone or tablet replacement, but as a good quality camera with user-friendly, well-developed software for connecting, sharing and editing on th...
Abstract: Today's smartphones take photos that are good enough for casual snaps and it is great being able to share photos to Facebook and elsewhere within seconds of taking them. However, one feature they lack is an optical zoom.Cue the Samsung Galaxy Camera. Y...
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a great device and I loved my time with it, it wasn't ideal that every photo I took was snowy, but the shots I got were really nice. I found I could take low light photos better than any device I'd used before, including the N...

Abstract: €399 Samsung.co.ukSamsung gives us a vision for the future of all cameras – its just not quite there yet…When Samsung unveiled this camera just before Christmas, many were a bit confused. Why on earth is it putting a smartphone operating system on a came...
Vivid 4.8-inch 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 customise the camera via downloadable apps
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
Naturally we're paying a premium here for the innovation on display, whilst over-paying for ‘mere' snapshot quality images, but there is little doubt that one day all cameras will be made this way
Fantastic screen, Good image and video quality, Android functionality opens up uses beyond any other camera on the market
Occasional UI slowdown, Pricey, Battery life could be better,
Would we still recommend the Samsung Galaxy Camera over the Sony RX100? You bet we would - for a certain kind of user anyway. We've said it time and time again, at CES the Android functions of the Galaxy Camera proved invaluable to us, and would to other...
