Samsung Galaxy Camera Hands-on!

2012-10-25
hey what's up guys I'm Kay PhD here and yesterday I was actually in New York for the US launch of the Galaxy Note 2 but more interestingly the Samsung Galaxy camera I spent a lot of time just on the side of the event I know the focus was on the note but I was just really intrigued by this camera and to be honest it really impressed me I really liked it a lot so without any further ado let's go ahead and take a look at it so here it is on the front of this camera it looks like your typical high-end digital point-and-shoot pretty sweet 16 megapixel sensor 23 millimeter wide angle lens with 21 X optical zoom but when you turn it around back it has a sick 4.7 inch HD Super AMOLED display full screen with Gorilla Glass 2 it's just slightly smaller in footprint than the galaxy s3 for reference but that's just in height and width on the left hand side there is a mechanically operated flash pop-up button which works flawlessly of course and on the right hand side there is a standard microUSB charging port and on inside is 8 gigs of internal storage but of course on the bottom here you can see it's expandable via a microSD card and right next to that is your SIM card slot and an HDMI port and of course the tripod mount and also down under is the battery in this guy which is a 1650 million power battery it seems a little bit small I don't have a lot of hands-on time to get that to see the battery drain but since you'll have to keep it on 4G when you don't need to it should last you awhile but obviously turning on that boss display you get a full-fledged shrunken Android tablet in here I don't say Android phone because while it does have a mic it doesn't make phone calls but it's basically a smaller tablet and it's running Android 4.1 jelly bean behind the scenes but while it is indeed Android 4.1 it's obviously not stock Android and Samsung has to make some serious improvements to make it a full-fledged camera and they actually did a great job with that and most notably inside the camera app it is a really impressive app here you can dial and adjust manual controls like shutter speed and aperture and all the way open to F 2.8 and ISO all the way up to 3200 with previews in real time if you're feeling lazy you don't have to use all these manual controls you can flip it into automatic and let it do all the work for you or you could even enable some of these interesting filters to get some cool effects outside of the Instagram app which can actually be used on this guy so in terms of image quality by itself from what I can see on the screen stuff look pretty sharp and noise performance in the dark was actually decent which is a good sign it also takes 1080p video at 60 frames per second so that's nice and as to meet video modes like slow-mo capture etc it's basically the camera app on steroids just for this device and I like it and feel free to give a thumbs up below if you do too so there you go guys that's the Samsung Galaxy camera it's available later this year and for an unknown price so I'll keep you guys posted on that probably on Twitter at mkbhd I think it'll be really good at the gatherings and sort of party scenario where you're taking photos and videos and sharing them as you take them which is kind of like the real-time sharing that Google+ sort of started it's kind of an interesting product I would definitely like to see more hands-on with it and I'll be giving you guys some test footage and some test videos of the actual camera sensor so you can get get a sense of how good that is as soon as I get my hands on it's a thumbs up if you're excited for that if you want to see it compared to some other cameras but otherwise that's basically it so thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys the very next video
