Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 GC200 - User Reviews

  • Is it made of Metal body?

  • it would better that zoom k is uploaded with 21 x zoom and some more mega pixals

  • Samsung have to make galaxy camera 3 with sim card & front camera & 2 cores like k zoom, it well be the life camera phon..

  • I wish it has the messaging features. It could be the best camera ever invented in the world..............

  • Wah..u cant compare a dslr(a giant) and a Galaxy Cam which is pocketable..hehe

  • You should still keep in mind it is a phonecamera, wich means compared to a DSLR it has a much smaller sensor wich equals worse image quality. This dont have to mean its bad, but in comparison it wont be able to compete. As for the see instantly on a 4.8 inch display, you cant do that on a DSLR but if you have wifi or a wifi SD card for your DSLR you can instantly see them on a phone or tablet over the wifi. However no cellphone screen is big enough imo to see if the result of your photo is spot on.

  • With an aircard DSLR can be seen on any screen, including 52 inch LCD TV screens.

  • 1. High resolution Display with 4.8 2. x21 optical zoom 3. We can immediately see our high quality images in 4.8 display which is not possible in any dslr 4. Immediately we can transfer to any other devices also we can upload to social media 4. Carrying is very easy than any DSLR 5. It gives very satisfied images such as a DSLR camera. Finally it valuable

  • hi aám wants this camera plz tell me this camera's urrent amount. a'm impress this camera.

  • Good camera; Get photo in service secret, and sent for somebody, kill or destruct device, dont mather;

  • Just Hope that Samsung will invent one with Sim to have a better communication. :)

  • is not a phone .. it's a camera.

  • I wish it has the messaging features. It could be the best camera ever invented in the world.

  • It's better if there's a Sim card to

  • i think this phone is not perfect because it doesn't have font camera, radio, and 3G.. design interested but low standard

  • if it had 3g and a front camera it would have the perfect camera centered smartphone

  • lol

  • no front camera... cant selfie ...

  • Wifi

  • removable battery is very nice - tired of tablet batteries heading south...

  • whats thge matter bro...

  • If you install Skype, you can call anybody.

  • The last person who posted doesn't show a very good grasp of the English language. Liar is what you were looking for - not lier. There is no such word. You must be generation Y or Z to be so atrocious at spelling.

  • lier stop deceiving people.

  • Why do you want "a camera" to make voice calls at the 1st place? but if you read the features you'll see that it has no sim card slot. So i guess you gotta read the info before asking a question.

  • Love the camera! However the case that came with camera will not stay closed.... Skimped on the engineering here..... Flap is about 1/4" short for case to stay closed..... My first day with camera.... I'm 62 so I love the large screen..... More later

  • owsome handset man ....:-)

  • i agree! it's amazing!

  • i agree! it's amazing!

  • i agree! it's amazing!

  • wifi hotspot straight to your phone

  • does this galaxy camera make voice calls

  • It's not a phone but a camera.

  • This camera is amazing. The 2.8gb available to the user is not a draw-back since you can immediately stream your media out to multiple cloud-based services, or store internally on a micro-sd. The picture is ridiculously amazing. The feature-set is astounding; world's above all other cameras (especially due to the multitude of apps available on the Google Play market). 10 out of 10!

  • not good coz dust in side lan.

  • good it

  • 2GB user available , ridiculous

  • there is wifi readi it correctly

  • GPRS isn't wi-fi.

  • No GPRS? how can you send data when there's no WiFi?

  • This camera has amazing specifications! Can't wait to purchase one and get my hands on one! Definitely going to be great for games, movies, music, video and pictures!

  • compact camera maximum only 5X optical zoom, this one got 21X Optical Zoom, Andriod system use like a phone, very easy to use :) i use Galaxy Camera GC100 1 year+ , it is good to use :)

  • compact camera maximum only 5X optical zoom..

  • with this price can buy a compact camera with gps and will catch better pictures.and save remaining money for case,more sd cards and spare battery.compact camera with 12 mega is better than all mobiles camera.

  • 50 years old :D

  • Well, diamondust, your two comments are just sily hateful and moronic nonsense. To set things right, that 16Mpix 21x optical zoom (focal length 23-483mm) has same angular resolution at zoom 1.8x already as N808's 41Mpix at 1x (focal length 26mm). And at 21x zoom, the angular resolution is 11x better - for that, nokia with its 26mm eq. focus would need to be 5521Mpix, clear imposibility. So yes, in terms of seeing distant details in photos, the only way is to have big OPTICAL zoom. And for that, samsung galaxy camera is best. The only place where nokia can outcompete samsung galaxy camera, due to its larger physical sensor size, is at lower light conditions, till max 1.8x zoom. It would be realy nice if somebody (samsung, are you listening :) ?) would combine those two things, and use large sensor, whole in low zooms and with reduced area for large zoom, alowing small overal size of telephoto lenses as well as good low light sensitivity at 1x zoom.... A hybrid sensor with more dense central area, perhaps.. ?

  • I don't really know why people admire this so much because it's rubbish 1/2.3" camera sensor isn't really all new high tech it has a standard 4.3 OS but a good 1.6 GHz 4.8" screen gorilla glass 2 isn't that high tech aswell it has a rubbish 2000MAh battery and no front camera and the main disapointment about this phone is compared to the GC100 this is not much of an improvement

  • i cannot believe people are saying best cameraphone ever because i cant see why 21x zoom is not much higher then my xperia z 16 mp my nokia 808 pureview is better and the handset itself isn't so amazing Quad core 1.6 GHz 4.8" gorilla glass 2 android 4.3 2000mAh battery no front camera and to top it of IT IS NOT A GSM DEVICE i prefer GS4 and xperia Z ZL ZR and Z1 to the galaxy

  • How old is Research in Motion?

  • Thats funny the negative comments about this compating it to other high end phones as one person stated its a CAMERA with a phone housing quite a unique experience i must say hands on. if your into photo blogging fbook instagram pics sections this is ideal as the camera is the best on any smart phone to date besides the nokia we all know but this had 10x zoom in regards as the nokis does not and if you need a phone there you go great idea samsung not a toy by far a practical device for people who need it..

  • Omg.. I wonder how the Note 3 were born in the Samsung if they created this 'beast'..Hahaha.. XZ1, HTC One, Note 3, LG G2, Iphone 5s, Lumia 1520 is a better buy, 4G, 64GB, Quad Core 2+ghz Snapdragon 800.. Well.. This thing is a kids toy.. Pathetic..

  • It would be interesting to know how somebody can give any opinion about a product that is not even out yet? This is a CAMERA, do not compare it with a smartphone ! The only thing they have in common is Android.

  • where was blackbery in 25 yrs?

  • no no no no dont even mention that word blackberry its another useless phone i want to throw mine in bin now.

  • Its the best smart camera.

  • Donot Get this phone,because it sucks,the camera is bad,the video is bad,the internet is bad,please people go and buy a blackberry 9300,i am using my blackberry 9300 for the past 25years and it is going strong,my camera is better than this q10 and my videoing is better than this q10,people go and get a 9300,if it could last nme 25 years IT can definantely last you...:D

  • Agreed!

  • hey guys,what are you saying?! these is not mobile .this is camera and phone have to had sim card. and gust 2.8 user available memory!!!!!! and no gprs or edge and no front camera and weak battery for any program running.it needs a wire!!!! very very awful like first generation but that had sim and this.... why they push it in phone area?! an awful camera.

  • It just has an android software. Only that makes it a smartphone. You can install other apps but apparently no sim available. Also, its too big to be used as a phone.

  • 8 Gb internat storage but usable 2.8 Gb? wat?

  • I hope this camera don't turn back to the first generation.the first galaxy camera was full of error and restarting the OS,it made me crazy.i work in mobile store and repair part.(the manager of more than 70 stuff).

  • How can you put this devise as a phone ? it's a camera ! no 2G,no 3G,no 4G.

  • oh please samsung are you gonna release that model with that spec??? this model compare to GC100 only have a few thing different 1GB ram bigger and new body design but lost the important thing is 3G/4G,,,, one more thing GC100/GC200 16.1MP CAMERA SENSOR IS SUCK CAN'T EVEN COMPARE TO 130$ CANON COMPACT CAMERA and can't shoot in RAW file while the same price range nikon or canon bridge camera can shoot better

  • this best

  • This is bast

  • this stuff is not belong to GSM

  • this product only camera no gprs sim slot

  • The camera is cool but no significant improvement over the Galaxy Camera GC100. The sensor is only 1/2.3" which is pretty outdated considering that even cameraphones from Nokia which are smaller compared to this camera is packing a bigger sensor 1/1.5". Also, it lacks full manual controls. Such a disappointment. Virtually, there's no more competition in the point and shoot cameras segment. I hope Samsung comes up with a better point and shoot camera next time.

  • It has a microsd card for all your videos and photos..this is not a phone for apps.

  • Why internal memory is only 2.8 GB out of 8 GB? This is like cheating with the consumer. Hahaha

  • bad design hard to carry try like lumia device sweet and powerfull

  • Why are they insisting with this ungly ostrich-camel?

  • ugly!

  • 2.8 user availability? hahaha.....

  • probably because is more of a camera than a phone

  • Yep, that's right

  • my question to all including samsung...y this camera....we already have seen s4 zoom(with calling feature) with the same MP camera, same sensors size...y?

  • for call enabled mobile look for samsung galaxy S4 zoom on this website, u will be happy

  • No call function might just go into trash like galaxy camera 1

  • No secondary....best camera phone...

  • No secondary....best camera phone...

  • wat s the cost guys

  • so heavily skinned. 5.2 gb touchwiz.

  • but why just 2000 mAh battery ?!

  • long term policy to make a change, maybe 2G will be eliminate in the future!

  • You can't talk on this so you still need a phone...

  • to clear things up from my last post of why I said that...just think..that camera could possibly be better than ur eye

  • that's...the best in the world...the remodel of reality and beyond..

  • Why their no 2g network

  • I'm a Nokia fan actually, but I know that Nokia Pureview Cameraphones can never match the quality of Galaxy cams,as Galaxies sport optical zoom which is way better than what Nokia calls "oversampling" while digitally zooming into photos.

  • what about support for older models ?

  • None of the Samsung Galaxy phones came even close to Nokia 808 just yet. Just Google it, you'd know.

  • its very cost but not comfortable of pocket, Nokia is always better than both comfort For Nokia 808,1020 (Pocket,Camera)

  • Euro 450 no way.24mp camara euro100...fail fail fail

  • Compare them in google. May be galaxy camara can beat 808pureview ( but i dont think ). But remember there is a another 41mp demon. Nokia eos/lumia 1020 the best of best.

  • Absolutely right dude

  • You have no idea what your talking about. None of the phones have beaten the 808 in better quality photo's. If your talking about the 1020, it wasn't beaten it was close, they both had there differences taking photos & plus it comes at a cost of how huge & heavy it is. Plus the 808 or 1020 never had 5MP cameras. Stop spreading false info.

  • That means your 16mp beats the 5mp resolution photo of nokia 808. But remember that it has 41mp camera,

  • This is actually a camera with phone feature, not like those phone with camera feature. So dont compare it's phone feature with other smartphones, cos this is not a phone, its just a camera, but with phone feature.

  • I'm sure though that you see this dream every night galaxy phones can't even get close to 808 in terms of camera this is not a phone i don't know why they put these kind of THINGS on the GsmArena

  • I'm sry boy. Your 808 camera had been beaten before. Just search for information about camera's on the phone. and be sure all Galaxy camera's beat your 5mp camera phone! :D

  • you mean that can beat your 5mp camera in your 808 which has been tweaked with over sampling not that im saying its a bad camera but the are a few phones on the market already beating it without over sampling

  • Samsung please make a phone with a proper camera that can beat my Nokia 808 PureView instead of launching bulky hybrid cameras..

  • dat is a camera not s4!

  • As A Camera This Is A Great.. Optical Image Stabalization Should Help To Take Better Pictures In Low Light Conditions Without Bluring.. Also Lense Is Better..

  • Why "Better than s4 Zoom" ??? answer!!! : Dimensions: ... x ... x 19.3 mm Weight: 283 g 2G Network: N/A Infrared port: No Secondary Camera: No Proximity Sensors: No

  • 8 GB (2.8 GB user available)

  • Not a great upgrade over the first one. Dissapointing!

  • Better than s4 Zoom

  • No GPU?? or not confirmed. if it has adreno 320 or better it deserves 10.0. One word describes it AMAZING

  • this will be 1st flop for samsung in 2014... welcoming with a blast.

  • oh my no GPU. another one

  • This isnt a phone

  • Its a camera not a phone

  • one word, ugliness !!

  • 2000mAh with 4-core CPU @ 1.6Ghz ..... They could focus at battery life because 1st-gen model was not very impressive on that case. But still I dont find this Android+Camera thing useful after all, waiting for the Tizen camera...

  • Totally don't like this camera phone
