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...
Superb touchscreen, Seamless connectivity, Large focal range, Intuitive operation
Poor battery life, Some image quality issues, Would benefit from i-Function lens functionality
The Samsung Galaxy Camera is an ambitious blend of digital camera and mobile device that, for now at least, occupies a unique position within the digital camera market. And, in many ways it's a success too. As a camera, it's fairly well featured with a fa...

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...
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...

Gorgeous 4.8in display, Runs Instagram and other Android apps, Long 21x zoom range
Rather expensive, A large device, Touch, based control system is unwieldy
The Samsung Galaxy Camera appeals to a very specific type of photographer. If getting your photos online moments after they're shot is of paramount importance, then the always-on 3G data connectivity and Android operating system will be a boon to your ph...
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...
Excellent touchscreen. All the benefits of Android and associated apps. 3G connectivity. Range of video recording frame rates, including low-res 120fps. 21x optical zoom
Short battery life. Overall photo quality is OK, but may not be worth the price for some users
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 ...
