The editors didn't like
Unit seemed to be a bit top heavy
Difficult to hold at times
First of its kind so more likely to sufer from bugs
Design
With a crisp white and brushed metal finish the unit is certainly a bit of a looker. The massive 4.8” super clear LCD screen looks
Sensitivity isn't handled as well as in the firm's other cameras
Image sharpness isn't consistent over the frame at maximum zoom setting
Bulky
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
Small and fiddly microSD
Rather large and bulky
OS built for phones
Not cams
Short battery life. Overall photo quality is OK
But may not be worth the price for some users
A little big for some
Can't use it as a phone
No macro shortcut
We could complain about the lack of software fine tuning - it’d be great if more apps could make use of the optical zoom on the camera. As with the Nikon
You’re better off taking shots first and then opening them in your Android camera app of choice. We could also complain about the meagre battery life
More in line with a modern smartphone than a compact camera - you’ll need to get used to char
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
Android 4.1 interface is excellent, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity on the camera make uploading images a breeze, Excellent detail rendition, especially in macro mode
Images a little soft, especially at the telephoto end, The touch-only access to shooting modes tends to slow one down
Galaxy Camera is Samsung's attempt to strap a camera-sized sensor onto the Galaxy S III, whilst stretching it out a little. We received this camera not in a box made of cardboard, but in a case made of doubt and disbelief. We had very little faith in this...
Good image, quality and several camera features, 21x Optical zoom, Amazing display, Runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS support, microSD expansion
Huge and bulky to carry in pocket, Mediocre battery life,
If you want a camera with additional features such as apps, option uploading photos online and watching videos, this is a good choice. There are several point and shoot cameras in the range including the Samsung NX1000 with WiFi support and Sony RX100,...
Abstract: The chunky Galaxy Camera does pretty much everything your phone does except make calls. Dropbox integration gives you auto uploads of full-res images, filter apps such as Instagram work with the shutter button, and it's got enough power to run proper game...

Abstract: After the official launch in November, the Samsung Galaxy Camera was launched with some fanfare in Malaysia last month with dance performances, a briefing by Samsung Malaysia Mobile Product Manager Victor Ng, and a photo-sharing competition to show off th...
3G, smhee Gee, I admit, I hardly even used the 3G connectivity. With such a small battery on board, the last thing you want is have something else to drain it out and connecting to 3G is one of them. Sure, it'll be fun to upload images instantly right aft...
Good image quality, Android functionality, 3G connectivity
Middling lowlight performance
The Samsung GALAXY Camera is not just a good camera, it's an almost all-in one gadget thanks to the fact that it runs Android's latest operating system and a powerful quad-core processor. Low light performance could be better, though.(previously publishe...
Android, Connectivity (3G, WiFi, GPS), The ability to postprocess photos and videos on device
Bulky, Sluggish camera and gallery apps, No 2G and GSM for reverse compatibility
The new breed of these smart cameras are quite a necessary evolution; sales of the point-and-shoot cameras have been dwindling in recent years especially since Apple released the iPhone 3GS with its 3MP camera. I mean just look at Flickr's ‘Most popular c...
