In burst mode, the Galaxy Camera lets you snap photos at 4 fps and videos up to 120fps. Just like the latest Galaxy smart phones, you’ll get similar features such as Best Face and Voice control.
Since Samsung is positioning this as an always connected device, one can share photos instantly with WiFi and 3G connectivity built in. Despite having a 3G micro-SIM slot, it doesn’t let you make phone calls however it is still possible to make Skype calls using its built in microphone and speakerphone. On-board, there’s 8GB of storage which is expandable up to 64GB using microSD. Overall, it is 19.1mm thick and weighs 300g with its 1,650mAh removable battery.
Being an Android device, the Galaxy Camera can run most apps which is normally accessible on Android smart phone. Since it is easily connected online, you can now take and upload photos in real time or even set it to auto upload to the cloud as soon as you take them. At home, the Galaxy Camera also lets you share photos and videos via wireless DLNA and HDMI cable as well. So far, the only competitor in terms of Android powered camera is the Nikon CoolPix s800c which runs on a lower Android 2.3 OS.
