If you're looking for great picture quality for the Galaxy Camera's $500 price tag
You're probably going to be disappointed. Its battery life is fairly short. To get the most from it
You'll want to pay for a monthly data plan
Expensive. Large. Touch-based control system is unusual and unwieldy for a camera. Slow 3G connectivity
No 4G. Short battery life
Pricey. Big. Touch-based control system is unusual and unwieldy for a camera

Awkward manual shooting
Constant notifications can be irritating
The lens isn't very sharp
Slow image processor
Not much point in using this for voice or video chat
Somewhat heavy
Surprisingly big and heavy
The 4.8-inch screen drains the battery

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...

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,...

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...
