Samsung Galaxy Camera review: Half-press to play

25 January 2013
We’ve been watching phones evolve at a breakneck pace with smartphones all but taking over, while cameras were stuck in the 20th century. Well, no more – the Samsung Galaxy Camera aims to stir the point-and-shoot market the way the iPhone did the...

zoks, 28 Jan 201321x optical zoom on 1/1,2' sensor will require much bigger ... moreThen reduce the zoom to 10x or even 8x. Super zoom is only appreciated by peepers anyway. Surely it is hard to point your camera to take the picture of what you cannot see because it is too far for your naked eyes. On another note I forgot to comment about the screen sunlight legibility. It's useless because we cannot see what's on the screen outdoor. I'm still amazed at Nokia 808 perfect visibility under sunlight. Samsung please do it right then you will have a sold out camera.

    Anonymous, 29 Jan 2013Good job on assumptions and stupidity. Thank you. Did I say... more"Did I say Number 1? Did I say best everything? Did I say most advanced everything?" - but did I said that?, yet you wrote "They are well ahead in quality and function":)
    "Also did I mention numbers or sales anywhere?" - well what do you understand from "Samsung is a market leader" - sure, no specific numbers but, market leader in what? like-uri on facebook?
    the simple fact is this, when a samy fanboy has no arguments comes in rage and fury describing himself:), insulting and calling others trolls:)...

Did I say most advanced everything? No. But you apparently cannot read or comprehend well. Also did I mention numbers or sales anywhere? What is it with all you trolls coming here and putting words in peoples mouths in order to use it against them to trash them? Samsung does make many high end, high quality, advanced products, and are well beyond most companies. That's just simple fact. Your comment shows trollism.

          Carol, 28 Jan 2013Sorry but i don't do advertisement. I do facts! And what I'... moreAstonishing pertaining to the support and quality from sony to their play station/psp/stereo was meant in a negative way. low quality and horrible support. Such as not being backwards compatible, dead pixels and them not counting as defects, cheap parts, too many dying blue ray drives, psp like browser on a hacked ps3?? Seriously.

Nokia deserves mad respect and makes amazing and durable phones. Sony's phones are beautiful/well made. While Play station is my favorite as well, whike their support and quality is astonishing.
            I stand by what I said. You twisted a simple true statement that was referring to this, people, and all products in general and made it a pointless bash against this showing your ignorance. Now I called you out and you had to switch things up and go on an off topic rant of things just to show you may have some knowledge.

                    [deleted post]Sorry but i don't do advertisement. I do facts! And what I've said until now is a fact. Not some kind of invented words. As Sony PlayStation is the best console out there (and it is, even if other say is not)... As Asus is the best in motherboards and high quality hardware (even if there are people who say is not)... As Siemens are among the best in appliances (even if not so many people had the chance to use them). As Nokia is the best in mobile world (even if it's not a trend, not a bestseller bla bla bla. Is the best mobile manufacture out there.POINT). This is how Canon/Nikon/Leica and Olympus are the best in Digital Camera world. Sorry that Samsung is not listed, but.... not impressed! This are facts and nothing else. Others may have other opinions. And other facts. But the real facts are those proved and not invented or false advertised by the money-hungry media...

                            You took their comment only in the way you wanted so you could turn it into some pointless endless rant. If you wish to do it again be my guest. It will only be your fault then that you sound like a broken record of false advertisement like most of the people here.
