The Bottom Line Outside of its relatively high cost of ownership and average point-and-shoot picture quality, the Samsung Galaxy Camera definitely delivers the shoot-and-share experience of a smartphone with the features of a compact camera. Visit manufacturer site for details. Editors' note: For clarification, a portion of the review regarding Android app support for the zoom lens has been updated with additional information from testing.

As the first camera available in the U. This could likely be accomplished without the Android OS, but then you wouldn't get access to a whole world of apps.

This, of course, includes your pick of social-networking apps as well as cloud storage and sharing services. There is also the possibility that third-party developers will make apps to take advantage of this camera's capabilities. Now, while all of that is well and good, its main purpose is still being a camera and at that, it's fairly average for a point-and-shoot.

In fact, the 21x zoom wide-angle lens and megapixel backside-illuminated sensor are the same specs as you'd get with Samsung's WBF Wi-Fi camera. That seems steep for a device you might not use as frequently as you would a tablet or laptop and perhaps a pay-as-you-go option would be a better fit. But, since the Galaxy Camera can be used for more than taking photos and videos, you can use that data for e-mail, streaming movies and music, VoIP calls, etc.

If you're considering this for daylight shooting, you'll likely be very satisfied with the results. Likewise, if you're looking for better low-light shots than a smartphone. Regardless of lighting, though, the results when viewed at full size are not impressive, with noise and artifacts, and subjects looking soft and lacking fine details.

Subjects do get noticeably softer as you increase ISO, too, which means with less light you'll lose sharpness and fine details, and things start to look flat. They definitely benefit from some light post-shoot sharpening if you're going to be using them at small sizes. On the other hand, the f2.

Video quality is very good and the optical image stabilization is certainly nice to have if you're tired of the shaky clips from your smartphone. However, like its photos, video does get softer and noisier the less light you have. The zoom does work while recording movies, but it was a bit jerky when moving in and out. Underside: Micro-USB 2.
