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

Fast, intuitive, easy to use. The 23mm lens gives 21x optical zoom
Versatile camera, Unlimited photoediting and camera apps option from Google Play, Auto and Smart modes are both very intuitive, Easy to share photos/videos online
Average camera performance, but has an aboveaverage asking price, Size and handling make it unwieldy for some, Accidentally setting a new AF point or snapping a shot due to large display, Expert mode is cumbersome, White balance adjustable in expert mode
