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
  • Can update and cu
  • 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
  • Can send texts
  • But not make phone calls

  • As connected as cameras get, Android experience takes the operating system to a whole new level, excellent price when considering the SGS3, great for multimedia playback, in-camera video editor
  • It's big, expensive in compact terms, potentially long start-up time, no 4G, soft images when extending the zoom, mid-high ISO settings no good for critical work, mis-focusing can be a problem, would have liked one physical function button, can occasional
  • Android and connectivity is a delight, but the camera - the supposed core of the device - is the Galaxy Camera's weak point. It's good in use, and the rear screen looks ace, but the final images lack the sharpness they ought to have. There's so much po...
