  • The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a great device and I loved my time with it, it wasn't ideal that every photo I took was snowy, but the shots I got were really nice. I found I could take low light photos better than any device I'd used before, including the N...

  • Vivid 4.8-inch rear display is largest ever on a digital camera, can connect to the Internet direct from the camera via any available Wi-Fi network, 21x optical zoom offers plentiful framing options for 16 megapixel stills or Full HD video, can update and customise the camera via downloadable apps
  • 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, removable media is the small and fiddly microSD, larger than the average pocket snapshot too
  • Naturally we're paying a premium here for the innovation on display, whilst over-paying for ‘mere' snapshot quality images, but there is little doubt that one day all cameras will be made this way

  • Fantastic screen, Good image and video quality, Android functionality opens up uses beyond any other camera on the market
  • Occasional UI slowdown, Pricey, Battery life could be better,
  • Would we still recommend the Samsung Galaxy Camera over the Sony RX100? You bet we would - for a certain kind of user anyway. We've said it time and time again, at CES the Android functions of the Galaxy Camera proved invaluable to us, and would to other...

  • The Samsung Galaxy Camera is king of connectivity and offers plenty of potential to evolve. It's an attractive package for connected users. At wide-angle it takes better phones than most phones (except the unusual Nokia 808) and completely surpasses them ...

  • The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a gorgeous bit of kit, with a dazzling large screen (the best we’ve ever seen on a camera). Its version of Android, 4.1, is much more up to date than that found on the Android-powered Nikon Coolpix S800c, and runs all sorts of apps, even video players and games.As a way to introduce amateurs into the world of photography, it excels: the on-screen dials in Expert mode
  • 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
  • With the Samsung Galaxy Camera, the Korean giant is definitely onto something. Between the data connection, seamless uploading, image editing and charging via micro USB, almost all of the hassles of using a camera have been removed. Sadly though, for t...

  • Abstract:  £400Samsung 's new Galaxy Camera is a unique proposition – is it a phone, thanks to its 3G sim card, or a camera? The answer is clearly the latter, and in fact the 3G emphasis in the marketing is probably something of a red herring. Making phone calls...
