Hey, there are enough proof about that. They have both 808 pureview and Galaxy camera. And not all samples of pureview performs better than Galaxy camera. What's your problem. Who's gonna buy a Digital camera with a DSLR price tag? When that camera falls behing Iphone 5 and Pureview. Don't be such samsung fanboyish. You are gonna accept that or not it completely depends on you.

Do we know yet if this will be available as a wi-fi only device? I wouldn't use a cellular data connection, and don't want to pay for it. :) Otherwise, sweet little camera!

Anonymous, 05 Nov 2012I think your comparing this galaxy camera to a phone, it's ... moreThanks again, I might have made things confusing with mentioning the Nokia 808. I wasn't comparing it to this one in particular, I used it as an example for some manufacturer trying to make a new trend, but I got carried with it since it is a fact that the 808 has a much better picture quality than many point & shoot cameras. "I" was expecting samsung to come up with a better solution than Nokia in this device by making it a real camera that can make telecommunications, I was wrong and it's not Samsung's intention as it is clear now.
Now, back to the Galaxy camera (I won't be mentioning the 808 again), when you cnsider it as camera with smart features, I think it does not have the "Samsung WOW!" effect. We had tablets around for a while, but when Samsung came up with the Note 2, it was a "WOW!" because they fined-tuned it to what a real person would want in a device. They didn't come up with new hardware or out of space technology, they used the common technology available to all others and made their product better in terms of every day use. The same story goes for the S3, and it also reaches to the TV Panels, always they come up with these small details that when you combine it together, you realize that Samsung has actually spent some time to make it a personal device for me and you and many others. Now, this one, in the price range it is offered is going to be a "No-Go" for many people around simply because there are many other cameras around (including ones from Samsung, like the NX-1000) that produce pictures miles away better. Since it is going to be treated as a camera, then I assure you no one with be carrying this around all day, you'll grab it when there is an event for it (hiking or going out with friends/family, party...etc) and this is where it gets tricky. Remote outdoor activities like sailing and hiking or camping are usually outside the coverage of any network or you could hardly get a signal, so the data connection will have to wait till you get back to an area with coverage. Other events, well, yes it will have coverage but, how many are willing to pay +$600 to have that option? AND, you are not getting the best picture quality in that price range, without going to other brands, Samsung NX-1000 is actually an impressive model to be honest, specially for the price range. So again, and that's just "me" here, I can not find my usual "WOW" in this one, it is more of "Are you serious?" to me. It is not impressive as a +$600 camera at all, and afterall, it is a camera.

Anonymous, 05 Nov 2012Because this is meant to be a camera, not a phone but you c... moremy 808 can do all of that, even better than this once again crap.
808 imaging is comparable to low end dslr, some say comparable to d5mark3 though i say this part might be bs.
Any pro can tell u build in optical zoom is as good as digital zoom, thats why they buy dslr with interchangable lens.
As usual, we have tons of trolls who knows nuts but talks bout the skies and clouds, this here is just a wanabe device. The 808 has already ousted some of the low end dslr from their proud sits based on end imaging quality, so maybe u'll wanna explain how a p&s wanabe is better?

Personally dont see the point of this though, as a camera it sounds average, as an android device i doubt itll be comfortable so not really one thing or another tbh

This is NOT a phone. You can't make conventional calls with it, because it doesn't have GSM radio. Calls can be made via VoIP (Skype etc.), which is what my PC can do also, but I don't intend to call it a phone.
If you want his camera to upload "better quality" pics to social sites, you have no brain. Facebook, Instagram, etc, they all resize your photos no matter what. They are made for regular phonecam pics with overall trashy "quality".

you know what, just imagine how'd you look like if you hold a big and fat 25mm camera against your ear when making calls.youll goin to look like an idioot,.. so this camera is better off bein a camera not a phone. . btw, 808 pureview camera is better than this, and fyi, iphone 5 camera will never be on par with a dslr. .

Why on earth did you compare a cam-phone to a professional camera, and claiming iphone is better than a DSLR (since you generalized it, lets just say a 5D or a D800).
If you're telling us that "iphone 5" is better than a dslr because it can do calls and be an expensive paperweight with apps than just shoot photos, maybe you're right, because they are called "camera-phone".

If it claims itself to be a smart camera, I would call it a smartass camera. It's a good device though, but naming it smart camera is just not right.
