Samsung Camera
on August 9, 2014
Posted by: WestieMom
I got this camera right before I went on vacation so I wasn't able to play around with it too much before hand to get acquainted with it. I've only had it about three weeks, but so far really love it. It was very easy to operate, especially if you have a Samsung phone and know even a little bit about cameras. Took great pictures and the large screen was definitely a plus. Even a tour guide that took our picture said he had "camera envy"! There are only couple of things I am concerned about. One
is that when I went to put it away in my case or purse the battery compartment sometimes opens up. One time my flash also opened and that seems a little fragile. My only other concern is the battery. It's a cell phone battery and when I bought the camera at Best Buy they didn't carry an extra battery. Not sure where I can buy an extra one but I haven't had time to look around yet. The battery seemed to run out fast until a friend suggested that I put it on Airplane mode (turn off WiFi) until I needed it. Overall, love the camera so far.

The best "Smart-Camera" I have ever used
on August 12, 2014

Wow.. this is an amazing camera! I call this a "Smart-Camera" since it has so many functions besides the camera itself. Basically its like having a Galaxy Phone-- without the Phone or cell coverage.
However if you have wifi.. this is amazing, it basically runs everything that all androids run, so yes you can shoot and share INSTANTLY!

Instagram? No problem! Face Books, Pinterest Google+ or email? yep!
So yeah.. basically on the software side it has it all going on!

On the camera side.. it's a really nice powerful camera! The zoom is OPTICAL, so what you see is what's there, no grainy guesswork digital zooms. There is a plethora of modes ( Macro, sports, fireworks, 3 shades, multiple shots and so on..) or you can tweak them after you shoot with the built in editor ( or download your favorite )
I have used this for numerous nature shots and food shots ( there is a mode for FOOD Pictures too!) and they all came out wonderful!
If I HAD to nitpick.. I don't like the flash, it is not auto, (you need to press a button to release it)
, and when you do it pops out, but the mount it's on *looks* fragile so there is that.
Also the internal memory isn't too large, so you will need to get a micro card.
Finally the touch screen can be a bit too sensitive at times.

But like I said those are minor minor things, I just want to touch all the bases, this is a GREAT camera! It's is easily the best mid-range camera I own, it may not be a DSLR, but it's pretty close!

The Astonishment of The Galaxy Camera II
on August 12, 2014

Expertise:Beginner
I rbelieve this camera is amazing because you don't need to be an expert photographer in order to take stunning photos. It's great for newcomers that's don't have prior experience since the 'smart' feature optimizes the setting. Overall; you can install useful Apps such as an offline dictionary that can assist you on learning new definitions based on photography.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
