Always On - Road testing the Samsung Galaxy Camera in Paris

2013-02-26
so if I'm going to do a road test in Paris it might as well be a camera and the Samsung Galaxy Wi-Fi camera better perform because i left my DSLR at home now this camera runs jelly bean and has built in Wi-Fi but I'm also going to go right in there and get it a sim card so that I can have data everywhere Instagram heaven wish me luck and I got my orange sim card and put it in soon Wow restart to access the mobile network and this is definitely already more complicated than a regular camera for sure but I guess we knew that going in it's giving me a signal alright i don't know i cannot get the sim card to work it says I'm registered on the network but I don't have any access I don't know I'm just gonna go take some photos and if I find an orange store on the way we'll stop and ask them what's up meanwhile look for Wi-Fi one big drawback that I noticed immediately is that this camera takes forever to start up and when it starts up it doesn't default to camera mode it's a little time consuming to operate but let's get to the photos I handed the camera off to my pro photographer friend to play with some of the expert mode's we found that in bright light or if you adjust exposure setting you can produce some pretty nice images a little video myself and all the pictures that I take in Paris are basically me like looking up at stuff but once again the nice big view screen definitely a bonus as is the 20x zoom kind of digging that idiot just don't plan to shoot all day long battery life is barely a day also if you're not a pro you will be disappointed in your snapshots so this is like the picture you can't really see this there we go oh that we just took of cell so with his five-thousand-dollar cannon and I mean it's one thing to go around taking pictures of my phone and expecting that it's kind of phone quality pictures but this now just having this just making me mad I'm angry on my DSLR kit believe I left it on my better not screw up my Paris trip Samsung and as for low-light shots forget about it okay in the end as much as I wanted to love this camera and I was delighted at being able to get my email on it it's just not a good enough camera to justify carrying this instead of a phone plus the battery life is not good and all of this Android goodness just kind of gets in the way sorry I tried if you want a second opinion read the full cnet review over at cnet com
