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

Huge optical zoom range, Tablet and camera, Lots of options for picture editing, Direct upload of pictures, Good display, Integrated image stabilizer
Relatively heavy, Expensive, Manual setting of the camera is laborious, Blurring hard to control at high zoom level, despite stabilizer, Photos could be sharper, Long boot time (when completely shut off)

Abstract: When we started this article we thought that the Samsung Galaxy Camera and the Nokia 808 PureView might have a lot in common - a great camera package with a smartphone OS to extend their functionality. It turns out that they are pretty different and w...

Abstract: Sponsored links, if any, appear in green. The Samsung Galaxy Camera isn't the first camera to include Android, but it's certainly the most interesting and sensible concept we've seen so far. The Galaxy Camera shows what can happen when someone combines...
For $500 to $600 you can currently get higher quality (in the photographic sense) cameras with interchangeable lenses, but you do not get any connectivity, a great OS and the ability to access hundred of thousand of applications.Across the board, the Sams...

Maybe, actually. For all its foibles, the Galaxy camera is a lot of fun to use. Maybe this things nothing more than a toy, but its a really entertaining toy. People want to instantly share an image—they just dont want to sacrifice quality to do it. So...
