Customer Review

Equal first, with like the camera very good!

Datasheets I do not want to copy and do not describe things that we know from the smartphone ago, rather describe the special features which are for me essential to use the camera (but also struck me a bit negative here: clear, let a lot of things Stop yourself or disarm (so do not mean the picture quality ;-)):

Smartphone? One can not call only liegts to the lack of phone app or it is hardware related (modified 3G wireless module)? Everything else works as an Android device. Funny, if you even have a DVB-T receiver connects, television can. From the side of the software so forth on this camera offered more than enough flexibility and functionality. Even Samsung's own app for the manual adjustment of Aufnahemeparametern (ie their Fotoapp) provides further options. As a software developer, I am curious if Samsung an SDK for this camera out there, so you can access in your own Android apps in features such as shutter speed, aperture, etc..

The fact that the camera is not turned out quite as compact as other compact cameras, is probably because that the "Preview screen" should not be less. For 21 times zoom the camera is very flat and compact. Even that it is slightly heavier, does not interfere, since there is more of a better feeling when holding. In general, I like to take the camera in hand, because of their appearance, the simple form.

Super I found Samsung's offer, a battery (which is the same as for the Samsung Galaxy S2) and charger to get free.

21 times zoom is class since the beginning of Aperture 2.8 is very good. What I can lead to image quality:
In mind, I had many reviews tend auswiesen the poor image quality. For this I am but then satisfied and even surprised: while driving the car, I "shot" as a passenger Photos: little shaky and a focal point is found quickly. That surprised me, and not every compact camera so perfect. The images would I added not use for posters. But noise is definitely noticeable until ISO 400. Various programs support scenarios such as "low light" or "one-stop out gunned pictures", "Slow Motion", etc. Thus, the camera is very suitable for everyday use for me! Many scenarios are covered. Slightly light I find the flash, at least for close-ups.

Images can be automatically uploaded to Dropbox. The fact that the amount of data is not very low, dialogues showed me on various Dropbox synchronized devices that pointed to too little local place spoke to synchronize. Now, I take it where it goes, camera upload synchronization on mobile devices and only have a computer with enough disk space for synchronizing Kamara upload images. That's a practical matter. 50 GB is available for the camera on Dropbox free, but for two years. I have then a new camera; o)?

Negative I only notice that the response time when switching is sometimes too long. This is due, inter alia, synchronization operations. So the camera will vibrate for some time at the start, if Google + / Facebook messages arrive. Well, it's a camera and you have to think about whether you simply put all the apps from your smartphone on the camera. However one wants to yes to FB and G + equal upload, so have these apps on the camera. Then you have to take the time and adjust the settings in the notifications that it does not take up rings and vibrates; o)

I think it's better this way (flexible) than that of the manufacturer, some programs only pretending and also the way how the image ends up somewhere.

Battery life is not quite as good, but compensate with a spare battery. However, that is not to go so fast because you should shut down the camera before changing but only ... Then it takes before 5 minutes to the "new energy".

For me, outweigh the positive characteristics: flexibility in software, communications capabilities, Optical Zoom, Design. Image quality is sufficient for me, especially since I use an APS-C camera, if I want to have low noise, extra go on scouting. The Galaxy Camera I always try to have here and everyday snapshots are getting perfect with the camera. If you then immediately (without a laptop, etc.) also publish, edit or a friend "beam" on his cell phone the images "out of the camera" can, that's awesome!

So I give a buy recommendation!
