This is a great try from Samsung but still has room for improvements.

I bought this piece for my wife and took it to Italy together with my
5D3. It is the first time I put this camera in a real trip, so I do feel
a lot difference and record them here when the memory is still fresh.
Sorry I am not English native.
.With mobile phone, you can take
picture anywhere and edit and share instantly. However, there is one
thing the smartphone can not and will never do, ZOOM. This piece is a
smartphone with superzoom lens, 21X zoom, which is nearly a telescope
when you wanna record sth far. This feature is very useful when you get
chance to try it. This is the first reason that I think the camera is
worth to buy. The tele-zoom lens is the only value for small digital
cameras, or, you can use your mobile instead.
.The Android
system. When we all enjoy the instant photo taking and sharing, and keep
online with friends, why we still stay with a classic camera, a
smartphone, and a computer to connect the camera and phone? They are all
in one this time, and compact. All setups are as simple as your mobile.
Here are what I do with the system: added art effects in real time when
taking pictures; record a nice restaurant by taking a picture with GPS
tag, and later load this position from the photo into Google map so we
can follow the map and go back, all happened by just touching the screen
few times; add effects and share photo with friends through IMs and
instagram; playing games; using GPS; browsing web; my kid compose the
photos and videos into a video stream with music, just on the camera, a
lot fun.
. The high end hardware. It is true that Nikon do have a
android model of digital camera. However, it is small screen, weak CPU,
which means data-intense processing such as photo and video editing may
be not so fluent. To me, it is more like altering an interface instead
of changing an operating system. The advanced hardware is definitely a
must, if you want an android camera.
. The power charging
micro-usb connector. It is true that is micro-usb connector is an
important thing to me. This means when you have a lot to shot during the
day, including long videos, you will not worry about the power supply
any more. This is because you can carry a portable power supply (a large
battery, such as my 6000mah Philips) to charge the camera at any time,
with a standard usb cable. This external battery will also benefit all
your android and apple devices. So for the days in Italy, I never worry
about power of this camera. However, I am not saying the battery of this
camera is weak, it is enough. For the whole week, there is only one day
I definitely I have to charge the camera on our way. When we went back
to our hotel that day, the power become 100%, fully charged! I believe
you have never had this experience with other cameras.
.Huge screen with sharp image and instant touching response. very good experience ever to a camera.
.3G network is a good design, which makes you connected all the time. I mean, in my country, not Italy.
.Voice
phone is not designed and not necessary for this camera, since this
Galaxy Camera will shut down after 2hrs standby to save energy as a
normal camera. So it will not work as a real phone. Use software to call
your friends, such as skype.
The improvements needed:
1. the
lens quality. Actually, it is a good lens for recording and sharing. I
am just expecting the lens could be better when comparing to Nikon,
canon, Sony(Zeiss) and Panasonic(Leica)
2. The ccd is still too small, the size of this Galaxy should have enough room for larger sensor.
I am not sure whether I am too strict to this camera since I also have a 5D3. :-)
My
recommendation is that this camera is worth to buy if your lifestyle is
shoot & share, and enjoy the smart system. If you can live with
the image quality of you mobile phone, then this camera is much better
than that.
A final story, I also took a Sony TX-9 camera for my
wife, since she never believe Samsung could build decent cameras! But
finally, she never touched the Sony during the whole trip.
