Samsung Galaxy Camera Android Optical Review

I bought 2 of these cameras. One works fine. The other would freeze, then the lens would pop out and pop out. I tried updating the firmware but the KIES program was just as bad and couldn't get it to reinstall the firmware. I tried using the chat button on the support page but that didn't work either. (Of course, after he directed me to the India support page). Overall a rather disappointing camera and equally disappointing support.

We needed a camera that could record quickly and without lag. I used to have a DSLR and point and shoot cameras. I specifically chose this camera because I needed to shoot kids quickly. It's very easy to use and perfect for those who want to take beautiful pictures but don't want to bother with technical stuff. There are many modes that can be used and you can connect it to a network to send photos over Wi-Fi. Very good for mums of little ones who want it fast. I am very happy with this…

LOVE this camera. The only disappointing thing is that it doesn't have a backlight for videos at night (the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5), which is a big deal. It works great at concerts/clubs but not so much for videos at home at night. Other than that, it's a really great camera. Makes very nice pictures and is very easy to use. I love that I can install photo and video editing apps on it and then upload them to Facebook and Instagram straight from the camera without connecting to a…

The early version of this camera was VERY VERY pleased! I would REALLY love this, but since it comes with an international version of the OS that won't be available on the Play Store, and you can't run the OS in English instead of Chinese, it's just NOT worth the hassle! You lose all the nice features of the previous camera. Oh, and Revain tech support is totally useless in this case! They walk you through the troubleshooting steps you already did 3 times before calling and if they don't work…

It's true the battery sucks but I still LOVE this camera. I'm very happy with the picture quality and the WI-FI upload to DropBox is one of my favorite parts. There are so many ways to change picture settings that I haven't even tried them all. I'm very happy with the auto mode and the few scenes available without the app. With the photo app, the possibilities are endless. This camera has become my favorite. I always carry it in my purse. I rarely pull out my higher zoom Nikon because it's so…

Pros: Easy to use for those who have never used a smartphone before. Very convenient. Focuses more than 2.5 cm and switches to far focus with the push of a button. Looks and feels very modern. The hand strap fulfills the task of preventing the camera from falling. Dropbox sync works great. The photos come out great with very few iterations. Cons: I wish turning on and off was faster and didn't have to select "Power off" or "Restart" like on an Android device. Not sure if the camera is to blame…

I love this camera. I just took it to Paris and was generally happy with the results, although I think I could have spent a little more time fiddling with the settings to improve the lighting in some situations. At the same time, it works quite well in "Auto" mode. The zoom is incredible. Just lean on something and everything will become clear. I LOVE that it uploads to Dropbox every night when I connect to Wi-Fi. Three things I found a little annoying - one day it started acting a little shaky
