Smart Pro Mode
The easiest way to shoot like a pro
Stop being jealous of the pros with their big cameras, and start taking great shots. Like the perfect trails of light at night on a busy intersection full of red taillights. Or instantly capture a high-speed scene with Action Freeze. A quick tap of Smart Pro Mode and you’re set with various special modes. Just choose the one you want and shoot perfection.

Slow Motion Video
Sometimes slower is better
Instead of playing it back in slow motion, record it that way in the first place with Slow Motion Video. It captures your most precious memories at an amazing 120 frames per second and 720x480 resolution, and it plays them back slowly in magical, crystal clear video, making your memories truly timeless.

121.2mm (4.77") HD Super Clear
Touch Display
Enjoy your photos on a big screen right away
Now you don’t have to wait until you get back home to properly review and edit your photos. The GALAXY Camera’s 121.2mm (4.77") HD Super Clear Touch Display is what a camera display was meant to be, with an ultra sharp 308 pixels per inch and the full spectrum of glorious colours. And with the new White Magic Technology, you can even double the brightness without worrying about battery consumption. And why not view your HD movies at a golden 16:9 ratio? Perfect.

Minimal Organic Design
Timeless, seamless, natural.
The design sets the tone, you take the pictures. The timeless beauty of the GALAXY Camera’s minimal organic design helps you take even better pictures because the stylish curves of the camera’s ergonomics place all the key controls right where they should be: at your fingertips. Inspired by nature, the design shares the same heritage of the globally acclaimed Samsung GALAXY Series.

Voice control
Don’t be shy. Talk to your camera
The GALAXY Camera does more than take great pictures. It also listens very, very well. By tuning in closely to what you are saying, the Galaxy Camera is able to execute your command. So don’t be shy- tell it to zoom in or out, set the timer, and snap the photo when you’re ready. And when you’re in the gallery, tell it to rotate, delete, and even share your photos. Yes, it really is that smart.

Photo Wizard
Edit professionally with ease
The GALAXY Camera packs an amazing set of 65 powerful editing features on board, giving you the opportunity to edit professionally with ease and while on-the-go. The new features take advantage of the latest technology, the ultrafast quad core processor, and that beautiful 121.2mm (4.77") HD Super Clear Touch Display, giving you access to features like Auto Face Calibration so you can edit in precise detail and with ease.

Movie Wizard
Stop dreaming about making amazing movies
Create expert videos without the expertise, using a range of intuitive new features. Movie Wizard on the GALAXY Camera will create stunning movies out of your videos quickly and easily from the touch screen.

SMART Content Manager
Get organised without getting serious
Who doesn’t want to be free from the hassle of managing all that great content you created? GALAXY Camera's Smart Content Manager does it for you intelligently, creating folders, tagging faces, and even making suggestions to Smart delete pictures that didn't come out quite the way you wanted. Choose how to view your content with a dynamic range of viewing modes as well.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a gorgeous bit of kit, with a dazzling large screen (the best we’ve ever seen on a camera). Its version of Android, 4.1, is much more up to date than that found on the Android-powered Nikon Coolpix S800c, and runs all sorts of apps, even video players and games.As a way to introduce amateurs into the world of photography, it excels: the on-screen dials in Expert mode...
We could complain about the lack of software fine tuning - it’d be great if more apps could make use of the optical zoom on the camera. As with the Nikon, you’re better off taking shots first and then opening them in your Android camera app of choice. We could also complain about the meagre battery life, more in line with a modern smartphone than a compact camera - you’ll need to get used to char...
