  • Sturdy, destinctive design, Impressive 21x optical zoom, Giant 4.8 " super LCD screen, Full Android 4.1 on-board
  • Unit seemed to be a bit top heavy, Difficult to hold at times, First of its kind so more likely to sufer from bugs, Design, With a crisp white and brushed metal finish the unit is certainly a bit of a looker. The massive 4.8” super clear LCD screen looks
  • I have to say I have really enjoyed using this unit and it certainly takes excellent quality photos but can't see myself ever taking the plunge and getting one. I'm not really a huge photographer but can appreciate that for bloggers or keen social network...

  • As connected as cameras get, Android experience takes the operating system to a whole new level, excellent price when considering the SGS3, great for multimedia playback, in-camera video editor
  • It's big, expensive in compact terms, potentially long start-up time, no 4G, soft images when extending the zoom, mid-high ISO settings no good for critical work, mis-focusing can be a problem, would have liked one physical function button, can occasional
  • Android and connectivity is a delight, but the camera - the supposed core of the device - is the Galaxy Camera's weak point. It's good in use, and the rear screen looks ace, but the final images lack the sharpness they ought to have. There's so much po...

  • A fresh and very successful re-imagining of what a camera should be and how it should work. Spot-on for anyone who wants an easy way to share their pictures without being restricted to smart phone resolutions and quality levels, and very fairly priced ...
