Samsung Galaxy Camera with Android Jelly Bean v4.2 OS, 16.3 MP CMOS with 21x Optical Zoom and 4.8" LCD Touch Screen (WiFi - Cobalt Black)

If you're like me, you absolutely adore your Galaxy S3 or Galaxy S4. But you may also have been hesitant whether or not to buy this camera. Well, I'm here to tell you that the Samsung Galaxy Camera surprised me and I would buy a second one so my wife and I could have one if it wasn't for the price. Photos: The photos are excellent. I've had a lot of point and shoot cameras and a lot of semi-professional cameras and lenses. It takes better photos than any compact camera I've ever had. This may be due to the lens optics or the way the software chooses auto photo mode, but I've been very happy with the photos I've taken. Videos: I took quite a few videos with this camera. We bought this camera primarily for vlogging. Although we've only composed 2 videos so far, it's done a great job in both. I was quite surprised at the quality of the video. It's perfect for our vlogging of family outings and adventures. I have noticed that sometimes if the audio is playing before you start taking a video, the audio sometimes needs to be adjusted higher while editing. I tried both the software and the browser-based versions. I have found that the Keis software sometimes crashes and does not connect to the camera. You may need to restart the camera or software. But the browser interface works perfectly every time. I was hoping for something a little more automatic. The camera offers automatic uploads to the dropbox, but I prefer to put them on my computer before uploading them to our website. Camera software: This is Android. You like it or you don't. We tested all features to include games and messaging. Everything works like Android works normally. We now only use it as a camera. The camera goes to sleep, but it even boots up from a complete stop very quickly, usually around 2 seconds. Camera body: I ​​was also impressed with how the camera felt in my hands. It is designed to be very ergonomic and natural in your hand. You feel like you have good control of the camera when taking pictures. But the camera has a certain size and weight. But you should know that it is the size of a Galaxy S4 before buying it. You won't just slip it into your pocket like you would your phone. All in all, I would highly recommend this camera to someone who wants good quality video and image, wants something better than just point and shoot, and most of all likes the operating system Android.
