Samsung Galaxy Camera (Review)

Nothing can be more interesting than having a sophisticated upgrade to the device we all like. And Samsung has done just that. 

Samsung's Galaxy Camera combines the best of its mobile and photography teams in a single gadget. This gadget will create a room in the marketplace for a new hybrid: the heart of a true camera with the added sprinkle of some smartphone magic. It is difficult to state whether its a phone in a camera or otherwise... Read on to check out its specifications...

Whats New

Now you can do what the Pros do. This gadget can make you stop following and start creating photos worth showcasing. It captures the perfect trails of light at night or a high-speed scene with Action Freeze. A quick tap of Smart Pro Mode gives you a set of special modes to choose from, to get that shoot to perfection.

Motion Video

The Samsung Galaxy Camera can record a scene in slow motion with its "Slow Motion Video" function. It captures the most precious memories at an amazing 120 frames per second and 720x480 resolution, and it plays them back slowly in magical, crystal clear video.
