  • This is an entirely unimaginative update to the Galaxy Camera, bumping up a few specs to bring them closer in-line with Samsung's current phones. Is it better than the first one? Yes, but without any significant image quality improvements it's not worth u...

  • Abstract:  The Long Zoom Compact category is probably the most diverse of any in our round-ups. Within it are three separate sub-classes of camera, all of which offer 8x optical zoom or greater (up to a whopping 83x). Broadly speaking, the cameras separate into the...

  • The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 is a very good Android device attached to a mediocre camera. Social mediaphiles will appreciate the ability to use the camera within their favorite apps, but if photo quality is your priority there are better choices available....

  • Huge 4.8-inch display. Runs Instagram and other Android apps. 21x zoom lens. Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth support.
  • Images on the soft side. Detail suffers as ISO is increased. Uses older Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS. No 4G version available. Omits traditional controls. Pricey
  • The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 has a huge display and runs Android, but its image quality lags behind others in its class....

  • Huge responsive touchscreen, Useful 21x zoom, Access to tons of Android apps
  • 3G/4G LTE connection removed, Screen has poor viewing angles outdoors, Low-light photos have noticeable image noise
  • The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 isn't a major leap forward from its predecessor, and dropping cellular connectivity makes the Galaxy Camera 2 lose much of what made the original Galaxy Camera so special...

  • The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 feels more like a silent revision of an existing product, rather than an exciting new replacement, such is the lack of change since last year's original Galaxy Camera was released. We'd be hard pushed to think of another camer...

  • Removal of 3G functionality; A touch bulky
  • Once again, Samsung has succeeded in combining the Android operating system with a compact camera that provides a more complete shooting experience than that found on the model's smartphones.However, it's difficult to judge that Samsung has done enough...

  • Is it worth it to spend $450 to get Android and a connected WiFi experience on the Galaxy Camera 2? Though performance of the Galaxy Camera 2 is surprisingly good–it's on par with many point-and-shoot cameras on the market today and far exceeds most of th...
