Just when I thought that my Samsung Smart Camera with WIFI is enough for me, the Samsung Galaxy Camera (GC100) changes my view on the usual point and shoot where it gives everyone the easy sharing option via WIFI or 3G connection. It is available in white and black with a suggested retail price (SRP) of Php 23, 990 in all authorized Samsung dealers.
Running in Andoid 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Samsung Galaxy Camera is just like having a mobile phone with a powerful 16.3 MP, 4608×3456 pixels camera with autofocus, 21x optical zoom, pop-up Xenon flash and AF light. The device has a dimension of 128.7 x 70.8 x 19.1 mm (5.07 x 2.79 x 0.75 in) or almost the same size of a Samsung Galaxy S III but still not bulky and easy to keep on the pocket and it weighs 300 grams. It has internal memory of 8GB and external option up to 32 GB. With a Super Clear LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M color-display images can be seen clearly.
It has three shooting mode: auto, smart and expert. We already know what’s auto which is very common in most of digital cameras, with smart option there’s new options included like panoramic, silhouette, fireworks, waterfalls, action and more. But what’s exciting is the expert mode that gives you the feeling of using a professional camera or DSLR with the option where you can adjust the ISO, lighting, distance and the texture of the subject manually depending on your approach. There’s also the Paper Artist option if you want to add some creative stuff on your photos which has a preloaded designs and textures like comics, pencil, oil panting, dreamy, news print, vinyl, mosaic and more.
