The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 is the second version of this particular proposal from the Korean company.Compact camera can also function as a smartphone with 3G connectivity and operating system Android. Hybrid computer will allow us to make high-quality photos with a resolution of 20 megapixels with a powerful 20x optical zoom. But it also has the ability to share our photos on Facebook or chat via WhatsApp. ‘s Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 is now available in the market for a price of 400 euros. Has had the chance to have in our hands this camera, we tell what were our impressions.
Optical zoom of 21 increases
Definitely one of the great attractions of this compact camera is the optical zoom.It has a 21 – fold increase that will allow us to take a snapshot of a part or bring distant scenes, not moving. All this with a really good stability, that has nothing to envy to the most powerful on the market releases. To handle this we can handle a zoom wheel in the upper right part of the model or to perform a pinch gesture on the screen itself, the same way they usually control the zoom in camera phones. In short, valuable tools that will help us take quality pictures.
Photos with a resolution of 16 megapixels
The sensor of the camera Samsung is type BSI CMOS 1 / 2.3 ” and a maximum resolution of 16.3 megapixels. In our tests, we found a good response of this sensor under normal conditions, although it is somewhat more limited when faced with low light conditions. This limitation is offset by a tab with the flash drive that can be opened with the button shown in the image above. Flash power is very noticeable and can become a great ally in parties and night events.
Another attraction of the camera Samsung are their various clever ways that can help us take photos more professional cut. The company has introduced a number of different ways, so it may be interesting to choose a function that automatically selects the most interesting mode according to the environment and lighting conditions in which we find ourselves. In such modes have specific settings for taking pictures of landscapes environments (green and blue is enhanced), dawns or snow. We also have another general mode for taking pictures at parties or indoors. A fun way is the animated picture, which allows us to take a series of photographs to animate a moving object in the scene. We can also take a picture in which the continuous movement of an object or person is displayed, such as passing a cyclist in front of us. Another interesting ways that can give us a very attractive result is the streak of light. The camera should keep still (it is recommended that with the help of a tripod) in a night scene, such as the movement of cars on the highway. Besides the function of photography, we also have the ability to record video in high definition 1.080pa 30fps.
Display and Design
An important advantage of the camera Samsung is its good screen size of 4.8 inches. This panel has a remarkable brightness, even when we are under the direct impact of the sun. Its resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels yields a good density of 305 dpi, both to see the images you have made and to use other applications on Android. In addition, it has also much liked the tactile response of this panel.
As for the design of compact camera, the Korean company has introduced elements common to his last star models. And we have a bonded leather cover on the front that adds an elegant touch to the camera. The Galaxy Camera 2 is available in black and white, while the lower and upper parts use silver aluminum. The device has a good balance and is comfortable to hold, although it can be a bit heavy for a compact camera. This is because its 285 grams are above what we usually see in these models. Sure worth the sacrifice to enjoy your optical zoom of 21 increases. The full dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 are 132.5 x 71.2 x 19.5 mm.
Interface, memory and applications
To run Android, this camera features a quad-core processor with a power of 1.6 GHz and an excellent memory of 2 GB RAM to run multiple applications smoothly and the camera without performance being affected. The internal memory of the device is 8 GB, a somewhat limited capacity provided we do a more intensive use of the camera. To extend the available capacity, we have the option of integrating a memory card MicroSD up to 64 GB.
The operating system chosen for this camera is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Platform Google provides us with a broad ecosystem of applications that will allow us to enhance the experience of this camera. In addition to applications that interact directly, such as the ability to send photos to Facebook or save snapshots into our Dropbox, we can also draw on games like Angry Birds or instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp. Undoubtedly, the use of Android multiplies the possibilities of this device.
Connections and autonomy
In the field of connections, we have support for 3G networks. The option of using a SIM card will enable us to share images anywhere with mobile coverage. We also have free WiFi to surf the net at home. Another interesting connection is NFC. With it, you can transmit images to other compatible devices through a simple touch or synchronize the camera with other compatible equipment. We also have Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS for navigation applications like Google Maps and label the location where we took the photo.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 has a set of 2,000 milliamps. According to official data from Samsung, we can come to take almost 400 shots with the camera or record video for 125 minutes. The resistance of this device surfing the net is something more than four hours, while video playback time will be a maximum of five hours.
Pricing and Reviews
The camera Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 can be found in the market for a price of the 400 euros (varies greatly by store). It is a hybrid team that strikes a good balance between a quality compact camera with its optical zoom of 21 increases and many of the specific functions of a smartphone. However, as often happens with this type of betting is in danger of becoming no man’s land, but has many arguments to become a device loved by their buyers.
