Samsung has inevitable that the company would bring its Android know-how to a full-fledged digital camera. Samsung Galaxy Digital Camera not only boasts the speed and smooth operation of Google's Android 4.1 platform (Jelly Bean), but also includes both Wi-Fi and either 3G or 3G/4G wireless data connectivity.
For its photo-taking capabilities, the Samsung Galaxy Camera far outpaces
what's offered in your typical smartphone, providing a 16.3-megapixel BSI CMOS
sensor, a 21x f/2.8-5.9 lens that delivers a 23-483mm equivalent range, optical
image stabilization, Full HD 1080p video (30fps) and a huge 4.8-inch LCD Super
Clear Touch Display.
The
most exciting about the Samsung Galaxy Camera is its ability to save and share
your photos to the cloud and on your social networks the moment you take them,
via the Auto Cloud Backup and Share Shot feature. You can also connect the
Galaxy Camera to a range of other Samsung Galaxy devices via Bluetooth 4.0,
Wi-Fi with Dual Band and Channel Bonding, or 3G/4G .
Like
any Android-based device, Samsung Galaxy Digital Camera lets your browse the
web and download a host of apps for both work and play. It comes with both
Google's Play store, and
Samsung's S Suggest application.
Samsung
Galaxy Digital Camera comes with built-in memory -- the amount varies depending
on your version, with 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB variants available. Many
of Samsung Galaxy Digital
Camera's features are aimed at making it easier for
photo novices to take, edit and manage pictures with ease. Samsung Galaxy Digital
Camera's Smart Pro mode -- analogous to the Scene mode found on many cameras --
has 15 different options that configure the camera appropriately for preset
photographic scenarios, ranging from Macro to Action Freeze.
Pros: Powerful zoom lens; Fast processor; Huge and bright display; Modern Android operating system; Vast selection of available apps.
Cons: Large, heavy body; Expensive price tag; 3G/4G data plan adds to cost; Sedate performance; Image quality doesn't compare well to other similarly sized / priced cameras.
