GSMARENA TEAM, 25 JANUARY 2013.
Design and build quality
The Samsung Galaxy Camera would be hard to tell apart from the rest in Samsung's digicam lineup - the only big tell(besides the Galaxy logo) is that there isn't a single button on its back, just a huge(by camera standards) 4.8" screen with 720p resolution.

The Galaxy Camera isn't a small device, but it's been packed with features and still has great ergonomics. The grip on the right allows users to get a stable hold even when shooting with one hand. And a 21x zoom lens gives you what those thin phone camera modules can never offer - proper optical zoom.

The comfy grip
That lens, however, accounts for the thickest part of the Galaxy Camera, it's easily the size of a pancake lens for a micro four thirds camera. Speaking of which, Samsung's Android-powered digicam is about the same size as an Olympus PEN PL-1.

The Nokia 808 PureView, which is quite chubby by modern smartphone standards, looks small in comparison.

Yet, with the lens extended to its fullest, it's easy to see that the whole thing couldn't have been much thinner. The lens itself has focal length that ranges from 4.1mm(23mm in 35mm equivalent) to 86.1mm(483mm in 35mm equiv.) and the aperture goes from f/2.8 to f/5.9.
The Galaxy Camera boasts proper Optical Image Stabilization with a dedicated gyroscope. It's much better than the digital trickery used by smartphones as we'll see later on in the review.

The Galaxy Camera packs an optically-stabilized 21x zoom lens
Behind the lens is a 1/2.3" backlit sensor with 16.3MP of effective resolution.
Right next to the lens is a red AF assist, but there's no video light.
For stills however, the Samsung Galaxy Camera has a proper xenon flash. It pops up upon a press of the flash button on the left side of the camera. It's a small, flush button that will often need you to dig a fingernail in to properly press.

The pop-up xenon flash • the flash button
When done, the flash can be pushed back in. Getting it to lock into place doesn't always work at the first try. The whole flash experience can be a bit frustrating at times, in terms of turning it on and popping it back in.
The top of the Galaxy Camera is where the only hardware controls are - the Power/Lock key and the traditional zoom lever/shutter key combo. Note that in Android apps the zoom lever maps to the volume rocker, it only controls zoom when the camera is on.
Right next to the zoom lever is the mic pinhole.
The right side of the Camera has a lanyard eyelet, a microUSB port hidden under a plastic flap and a 3.5mm audio jack. On the left, there's the flash button and the loudspeaker grill.

The bottom of the device has a standard tripod mount and a big hinged lid covering the battery compartment. Within that lid is a smaller flap for the microHDMI port. The battery compartment lid has a lock that keeps it in place. We sometimes found it necessary to lift the 1, 650mAh battery is underneath, which has a lock of its own to hold it into place. Right next to the battery are the microSD and microSIM card slots. The Galaxy Camera comes with 4GB of built-in storage, but that can be expanded easily and cheaply.
Finally, we come around to the back of the Samsung Galaxy Camera, which is a mind-blowing 4.8 inches of Super Clear LCD. The bezel is exceptionally thin except along the right edge, which gives you some room to rest a thumb without hitting buttons on the screen. Actually, we would have liked this bezel to be bigger as we still touched a few things on the screen by accident.

The 4.8" 720p screen should have been better
The screen has the same size and resolution as the Galaxy S III's display(and is covered in Gorilla Glass 2 as well), but isn't a Super AMOLED unit. It's a Super Clear LCD instead. It doesn't have the contrast of an AMOLED - far from it - but colors and viewing angles are quite good. Most disappointingly, sunlight legibility is about average, nowhere near as good as the S III's.

We put the Galaxy Camera screen under a microscope and saw a PenTile RGBW matrix. It introduces a White subpixel into the RGB mix, and then only in every other pixel where it replaces the Blue pixel. The idea is that this arrangement is more power-efficient than a standard RGB display at the same brightness. We have never been impressed by the image quality of PenTile RGBW screens, at least this one has the high 306ppi pixel density to save it.
