Hands-on at CES 2014: Samsung has another go making an Android camera

This is an entirely unimaginative update to the Galaxy Camera, bumping up a few specs to bring them closer in-line with Samsung's current phones. Is it better than the first one? Yes, but without any significant image quality improvements it's not...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 review

The big-screened, Android-powered compact zoom camera makes a comeback

Responsive touchscreen ; Android OS ; 21x optical zoom

No physical controls ; Some handling quirks ; Softness at full zoom

The Galaxy Camera 2 is a good option for those people who want the special combination of camera with decent specs and the ease and convenience of an Android OS.

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 review

The original Samsung Galaxy Camera was notable because, although it wasn't the first dedicated camera to use the Android operating system as its user interface, it was the first to integrate an up-to-date version of the operating system with great...

Flawless Android integration, bundled 50GB Dropbox account, great for multimedia playback and Android tasks, large touchscreen display

It's big, compression artefacts on images, mid-high ISO settings no good for critical work, softness at long end of zoom, no 3G/4G option, not enough new features to justify upgrade, lacks physical dials

So how do we judge the Galaxy Camera 2 overall? As a camera, its image quality is on a par with a regular mid-range compact and the wider end of the zoom, but its 21x zoom is trying to do too much and doesn't deliver bitingly sharp images as the zoom...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 review

Who doesn't like a good sequel?

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 - More Like a Version 1.5

Samsung had another go at the Android-powered point-and-shoot segment with the Galaxy Camera 2. But is it better than its predecessor or should you hang on to the original? We share our experience in this review.

21x optical zoom; Access to camera and editing apps from Google Play; Easy to share photos/videos online

Average camera performance, but has an above-average asking price; Size and handling make it unwieldy for some; Not much improvement from the original

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 review

The job Samsung has done by integrating the Android system into the Galaxy Camera 2 is seamless and adds some great sharing and functionality - it's what makes the Galaxy Camera special. However, it's a shame there's no the 3G/LTE option. The firm...

Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Review

Once again, Samsung has succeeded in combining the Android operating system with a compact camera that provides a more complete shooting experience than that found on the model's smartphones.

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...
