Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 review

Samsung's latest Android-powered camera packs in lots of versatility and sharing options, and a 21x optical zoom. But the camera sensor doesn't deliver significantly better results than what you'll get from a good smartphone.

For those looking for a versatile camera that will let you edit images and share them without ever having to move images to a separate device, Samsung’s Galaxy Camera 2 is a decent option without a whole lot of direct competition. Nikon’s Coolpix S800c...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Review

Samsung is not one to shy away from trying something new (remember the Dual View cameras?), and more recently they've been blurring the lines between Android smartphones and traditional digital cameras. Only one of the company's four products was...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2

The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 has a huge display and runs Android, but its image quality lags behind others in its class.

Huge 4.8-inch display. Runs Instagram and other Android apps. 21x zoom lens. Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth support.

Images on the soft side. Detail suffers as ISO is increased. Uses older Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS. No 4G version available. Omits traditional controls. Pricey.

As you'd expect, the Galaxy includes integrated Wi-Fi with NFC support. It's easy enough to connect to a Wi-Fi network, and you can browse the Web, post images to Facebook and Instagram, tweet to your heart's content, and do anything else you'd...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 White

Of course, what makes a good sequel is open for argument. For the Galaxy Camera 2, Samsung went with basically the same main characters -- a 21x-zoom wide-angle lens, 16-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor, and a giant 4.8-inch HD touch screen -- put...

As connected cameras go, the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 is an example of one done well. Having Android 4.3, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi with NFC, powerful processing, and a big, beautiful touch screen makes for a very good shoot-and-share experience.

At $450, the photo quality and shooting performance might disappoint those looking for significantly better results than a high-end smartphone.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 delivers the app and connectivity options of your smartphone, but with the shooting flexibility of a long zoom lens.

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 is a new version of last year's Galaxy Camera hybrid camera / smartphone, additionally offering a faster 1.6GHz Quad Core processor, 2.0 GB of RAM, enhanced battery life, Android 4.3 Jellybean and NFC connectivity. The...

The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 feels more like a silent revision of an existing product, rather than an exciting new replacement, such is the lack of change since last year's original Galaxy Camera was released. We'd be hard pushed to think of another...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Review

When the original Galaxy Camera was introduced, Samsung brought forth hopes of a world where smart cameras would help people capture memories with more capable sensors than smartphones, edit those photos on the fly with any number of easy-to-use photo...

Is it worth it to spend $450 to get Android and a connected WiFi experience on the Galaxy Camera 2? Though performance of the Galaxy Camera 2 is surprisingly good–it’s on par with many point-and-shoot cameras on the market today and far exceeds most of...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2: Low Light Sample Images

We posted some sample images taken during the day using the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 earlier this week and we were overall pleased with the quality of the photos that came out though the focus did feel a bit soft when we pushed the camera's limit at 21X...

On the Galaxy Camera 2, we primarily used two modes to shoot pictures, and the captures should detail which mode was utilized. Auto mode was quick and easy on the Galaxy Camera 2 as the first mode of choice. The second mode, which took a bit more time,...
