Samsung
Galaxy Camera has just been unveiled. Our reviewers had a little hands-on time
with the new Galaxy Camera, and the first thing that strikes is that this is a
capable, high-quality point-and-shoot. The device feels extremely solid and
well built, and the 4.8-inch HD SuperLCD display is of similar quality to the
S3's.
We shouldn't forget that this is a camera powered by Android. Samsung has put their latest version of the
Touchwiz Nature UX on there, based on Android 4.1. Yes, that's right, this is a camera running Jelly Bean. The possibilities with a connected camera are pretty exciting, and we're
seeing the start of a whole new category of devices.
Of
course, image quality remains to be seen. However, with a 16-megapixel sensor
and 20X optical zoom, Samsung looks to have created a compelling alternative to
smartphone cameras for those looking to graduate from the world of smartphone
photography.
