Camera Comparison: Samsung Galaxy Camera vs Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, iPhone 5, Nokia 808 PureView

Over the years we've done our fair share of cameraphone comparisons, but the one we have for you today is unlike any other. That's because among the contestants we have a real, dedicated point-and-shoot camera – the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Camera, which will be competing against some of the most capable handsets currently on the market...

Samsung Galaxy Camera review

It's a camera. It's Android. It's an Android camera!​ And it's the best one yet, but not without room for improvement On a sweltering August afternoon, Samsung ushered a handful of tech journalists into a conference room in Berlin, Germany, to show off two new mobile devices. The first, the Galaxy Note 2, was much as we'd expected it to be. But the second would've come as a complete...

Nikon Coolpix S800c Review
3.4

At first glance, the Nikon Coolpix S800c ($349) looks like just another compact ultra zoom camera. It's anything but ordinary. The Coolpix S800c is one of only two cameras on the market powered by the Android operating system, with the other being Samsung's Galaxy Camera. The S800c is a full Android 2.3 (known as Gingerbread) device, meaning it can run any apps that an equivalent smartphone could offer - so you can run Photoshop Express to spruce-up your images, rather than being dependent on the manufacturer-supplied processing options. For that matter, there's nothing to stop you passing the time with a quick game of Temple Run or Fruit Ninja. You'll control all of this on the camera's 3.5" touchscreen OLED display.

If you love your smartphone's camera, and want to take things up a notch, the Galaxy Camera is perfect for you. Running Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), the Galaxy Camera is the exact opposite of what we're used to seeing today. Instead of a smartphone camera, it's a camera smartphone (without the actual phone capabilities). How does this work? Does it really have anything to offer that your plain old smartphone doesn't? We took the Samsung Galaxy camera for a test drive to find all that out. And as usual, one of you will get extremely lucky and <strong>win this $430 camera for free</strong>!

The Samsung Galaxy Camera combines the functions of a Android device and a dedicated camera quite well, letting you whisk your photos and videos to the Web instantly. But this first-gen design also shows room for improvement.
