Galaxy Camera Review The Galaxy Camera is an amazing device.It has a camera as well as use it as an Android Device.But despite all of this I would not recommend to use this device as an Android device although I would recommend it if you are looking for a camera as well as an Android device.It is a great device but is it realy worth 28000 INR. The Good: Specs: Whether you’re judging this device to a smartphone or camera, Samsung has made a pretty impressive piece of technology. The Galaxy Camera runs a full version of Android 4.1.1 with TouchWiz on top, is powered by a quad-core 1GHz processor, is capable of running on AT&T’s HPSA+ network, features a massive 4.77″ Super Clear LCD display, a 16MP 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor, and sports 21x optical zoom. Now, try to find me another device with something like that. You won’t find one. It’s a unique beast that really does couple the best Android software available with some exceptional image-taking capabilities. Overall Picture Quality: Allow me to start this section with, “I am not a professional photographer” and I hardly know any lingo about cameras. What I am good at is viewing angles and attempting to translate things I see with my eyes and putting them on a camera. So, if you’re hoping for photographer mumbo jumbo and all of that, I am sorry. I have spent a full week with the Galaxy Camera and for a point-and-shoot, it has impressed me. I currently own a Nikon J1 and I love it. It is easy to use, takes high quality pictures, and has a reasonable price of $450 with the ability to purchase additional attachments. The Galaxy Camera, priced at $500 and coupled with Android and HSPA+, should perform just as good if not better than my J1, right? Not necessarily, but it does have some additional features. What the Galaxy Camera does have over the J1 in terms of cameras, is overall versatility. I can go from macro to landscape with the press of a button, but with the J1 I would have to switch lenses. The Galaxy performs just as good in terms of pictures as it does with videos as well. My only gripe is that auto-focus during videos is sketchy at times. I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but to sum it up in a few words, this camera has a much easier time with subjects that are close to you and not far away. The Bad: Cheap W/T Toggle: Now of course, this could have just happened to me. Unfortunately, my W/T toggle gets stuck when zooming in and it’s a serious pain in the rear. When you go tight in the middle of a video, or even turning up the volume, I have to push it back to the middle without accidentally going too wide or turning down the volume. For $500, this piece of hardware shouldn’t be getting stuck after just a week of use. Luckily for people who would buy this thing, you will have a warranty. Naturally since this is a review unit for me, I do not. Ever since this button got stuck, I find myself not using the device as much as I would like. Huge red flag for me when thinking about making an investment such as this. Software Lag: Just like any other smartphone or tablet, this device does encounter the occasional “slow-down” or “lag.” When it appears the most is actually when you’re in the Camera app and are switching through the Smart Settings, which becomes rather annoying. Overall, exploration through the device’s software isn’t hindered by any means, but when the device is to be used as a camera and the camera is lagging during pictures, that’s no good. Awkward Size: This camera is pocket-able, but it sure isn’t the most comfortable thing I’ve ever had in there. The device is rather thick in the lens, which when pocketed, bulges out and if you hit it accidentally on something, there’s a good chance you can damage the device. In a back pocket it works well, but Samsung is marketing this device as extremely portable, but it’s not as portable as I would like it to be. You’re much better off getting some type of carrying case for it if you’re taking it outside or going for a hike. Please, if you do have it in a pocket, be careful. Picture Blur: With the Galaxy Camera, I found that many times that when I would take a picture and look at the preview, it would seem very clear with no streaks or blur. However, upon returning to the photo in the gallery, the photo would be ultimately unusable with heavy amounts of blur. Sometimes you only get one chance at that perfect shot and with this camera, I don’t know if I could trust it completely with those moments.
