Samsung Galaxy Camera

Guts-wise, the Galaxy Camera is based on the Galaxy S III. It has a 4.8" 720p screen, though it's an Super Clear LCD instead of S III's Super AMOLED screen, which had excellent sunlight legibility (an important feature for a camera)

About the size it's actually a bit shorter than the S III - 128.7mm vs. 136.6mm.They explain that this is because Samsung cut out the hardware controls and moved the Android keys on screen.

At 19.1mm in its thinnest point, it's rather thick, and at 305g, it's rather heavy, too. The extra thickness was needed to enable goodies like a pop-up Xenon flash and 21x optical zoom lens.

The top of the device features a standard hardware shutter key with a zoom control around it. The control serves as a volume rocker when the camera is not active. A longer press on the shutter key activates the camera

There are two things we wish were different here - having a regular-sized SD card and a battery with a bit more juice than 1,650mAh (even the Galaxy S III battery is 27% bigger)

Expert mode on the camera. It presents a user interface that's modeled after a DSLR lens - you get several spinners that can adjust things like aperture, shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation. The max aperture of the camera is F/2.8, which isn't quite ideal. There is full manual mode as well as Av (aperture-priority) and Tv (shutter speed priority) modes.
