A review...
The Samsung Galaxy Camera, like Nikon's S800c, is powered by Android. But where the Nikon shooter was only Wi-Fi capable, the Galaxy also packs 3G SIM support. In effect, this hybrid is not only a mid-level point-and-shoot, but it's also a portable, internet-capable gizmo on which you can play casual games, browse the web, and check your email.
What we like
* The Galaxy Camera boasts of sturdy build quality. And its minimalist design - with just three physical buttons - makes it seem modern.
* Photos in well lit environments have vibrant colours and look sharp. In particular, macro shots and portraits stand out with their fine detail and depth.
* Android and 3G support on the camera allows you to use apps like Instagram to edit and share your photos from the camera itself. Additionally, you can also upload full resolution images to online storage or albums should you choose to do so.
* Its large 4.8-inch screen makes the Galaxy Camera a very handy Android device. Games like Angry Birds run well; web browsing is fast; various video formats play well; and photo-editing apps run without hiccups.
What we don't like
* There aren't any Android photo apps that can leverage upon the advanced lens and optics of smart cameras like the Galaxy Camera and Nikon S800c. Instagram and Pudding Camera, for instance, downsize high-res photos to create lighter files for upload - and this completely beats the purpose of having a 16-megapixel sensor at your disposal.
* Pictures taken in low light lack detail and suffer from strong noise. Similarly priced mirror less cameras (such as the Sony Nex-5 ) and entry-level DSLR s perform better in dim lighting.
* Poor battery life. When used with a 3G SIM, the device can shoot only around 100 images on a single charge.
* For a point-and-shoot camera, it is too big and heavy.
In conclusion
Whether this camera works for you depends on your buying motive. If you want a point-and-shoot, you would be better off with similarly - specced devices that retail at half the cost. In the same price band, you can also buy entry-level mirror less or DSLR cameras.
That said, if you're looking for a shooter to upload images to Facebook as soon as you click them, use fun photo apps on your pictures, or check emails and play games between shots, you can't go wrong with this one. And of course, the smart Galaxy Camera does give you some bragging rights.
