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

Battery life's short 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
You can find better image quality for the same price
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...

Abstract: Let's face it, we live in a world connected through the internet where we are constantly looking at (and for) noteworthy photos from our friends, family or anyone of any sort of relevance. It's no secret that as we become more and more connected through t...
It's a camera. It's Android. It's an Android camera! And it's the best one yet, but not without room for improvementOn a sweltering August afternoon, Samsung ushered a handful of tech journalists into a conference room in Berlin, Germany, to show off two...

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...

Abstract: 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...
Abstract: This is a new one for me. I only recently got into photography, from a blogger's point of view, taking close-up pictures of devices and posting them up on the web. I took some photography classes when I was younger, but never got into the science of it or...
Abstract: This is not a smartphone, despite the device's pedigree. Nor is it any plain old point-and-shoot. With Galaxy S III guts, Samsung's Galaxy Camera is bravely attempting to merge the very separate and conflicted worlds of point-and-shoot photography with hy...
Superb touchscreen, Seamless connectivity, Large focal range, Intuitive operation
Poor battery life, White balance issues, Concerns over lens fringing, Would benefit from iFn technology
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is an impressive combination of technology. As far as features go it's as well specified as any on the market, with the only real missing feature being Raw capture for advanced shooters. It's also well designed, with the main...
