Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you've used an android phone or tablet camera...you will have no problem with this camera. So easy to use and takes great pictures. You can either use the preinstalled photo editing app or choose your favorite from the App Store. I also got a texting app so I can text pics to people. It is wayyyy better than all of the point and shoot cameras and I even like it better than my bulky SLR.

If you know how to work a smartphone then this is the easiest camera to get used to. No disks with 15 pictures that you don't understand. Very easy to use and takes great quality pictures. Maybe not the best for a seasoned photographer but for someone that wants a nice camera without breaking the bank this is it. I love that you can download apps and post straight to Facebook or Instagram instantly. I highly recommend this camera to anyone.

I purchased this camera in preparation for a vacation in Germany next year. I wanted a camera that had better zoom capabilities than the camera I had. I was impressed with the overall features of this camera as described on BestBuy's website. Boy am I impressed with this camera. The pictures are wonderful and the zoom is much better than I hoped for. The camera is easy to set up. I can't believe how much it's like a cell phone - minus the ability to make calls. Can't think of a thing I would change or add.

I love how easy it is to take anything off the camera! Upload it to facebook! To my email. Send out to friends and family! The camera made me nervous at first to handle it (only because of the huge glass back) i always make sure i have the strap around my wrist. Pictures are very clear sometimes to clear! Im still learning how to use it. I also found out there are some nice cases i can get which i will be doing before summer. It's just like a cell phone but doesn't make phone calls!

This camera is great. So easy to use, takes beautiful pictures, and anyone from a beginner to a pro would enjoy this camera! Not to mention once I take pictures I don't have to try to figure out the best way to get pictures to grandma! I just email them right to her from the camera! Also easy to get pictures to social media if that's what you want to do too!

If you have or a fan of the Samsung Galaxy you will love this camera! It does everything my Samsung Galaxy S5 does except make phone calls, and takes amazing photos! Zoom is just right and camera fairly easy to use. Have only referred to my manual a few times. This camera was $150.00 more than I planned to spend but glad I did and have no regrets.

After having a point and shoot and mirrorless digital camera, I decided to give this camera/phone (non-mobile) a try. I loved the idea that I could take a picture and directly connect to wi-fi or my mobile hotspot to upload my pictures or videos to Instagram or Facebook. Since I've only owned Android mobile devices, the learning curve wasn't hard at all, but you don't need to know Android to operate it as a camera. You do need to have some basic knowledge of the Android OS to navigate through the other side of the house that has all of the applications and whatnot to upload your pictures and videos. The biggest sell of this camera to me besides the instant uploading to social media was the 21x optical zoom. The 16mp is basically the same as my Samsung Galaxy Note 5, so I can use my phone, but my phone only has about a 4x digital zoom so pictures come out grainy at max zoom. Not with the Galaxy camera. It takes really clear pictures and video at 21x zoom, but I do have to caution you that if you're zoomed out that far and taking pictures of moving subjects, it's still going to come out blurry. Video however is excellent. Not too bouncy, but it does seem to go out of focus when you're tracking a subject that far and has a hard time to re-focus. I was at a concert, so not sure if it's because of the low-lighting. Size wise, it is a bit thicker than my Galaxy Note 5, but that's because of the lense and to be able to hold it like a camera with a shutter button. It still fit in my front pocket, but definitely noticeable. Biggest complaint about the Galaxy Camera is the OS which was one of the selling points. The camera failed a few times on me so I had to reboot it. It also froze and needed to be rebooted. It only runs JellyBean 4.01 (I think), so most of the apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat are probably now optimized for Lollipop and even Marshmallow so that could be an issue with the OS and camera crashing. Other pet peeve was because you want to be able to upload pictures and videos to social media, you would receive notifications both on your phone and camera. Obviously, you can turn off notifications but just be mindful. Oh and I learned you can't be on Snapchat on 2 different devices. So if you want to snap something from the camera, it's going to ask you to login. Then when you go back to your phone, you'll have to login there too. Kind of annoying, but that's more on Snapchat than it is on the Galaxy camera. Overall, it's a good camera, but it's selling point of having an Android OS seems to also be it's down fall. Since this is running an older OS, it's already outdated and not sure if it's even worth it to buy for the OS. You'd just be paying for a Samsung camera which has less features and quality than other newer Samsung cameras in the market that do have wi-fi capabilities. Prior to writing this review, I actually returned the Galaxy camera and haven't gone back for a replacement yet. I think I'll wait til they get the bugs out of having a camera with an Android OS.

Love this camera. Like the bigger display area and the clarity of the pictures. Perfect for someone like me that wants the colorful bright pictures with ease of use. The bigger cameras with all the different applications and buttons intimidated me. This is so easy to use, Love it!! Like the organizational app that goes with the camera- stores and organizes all of my pictures. Don't have to buy a memory card or batteries any longer, just plug it in to charge just like my IPhone!

Great camera for beginner photographers. Lots of features and you can download apps from the Google Play Store because it is a smart camera. My daughter can literally take photos and upload them to facebook, instagram, google+, flickr, etc... She can also print them straight to a printer with printer apps. Overall a very good camera for the price. It's the only thing like it on the market right now so it fit all our needs!

I've been enjoying my Samsung camera because of it's many different features and ease of use! It is a little slow starting up but the wait is worth it. It have been taking fantastic photos everywhere. It is even capable of taking great photos off of a computer screen. Then I can reproduce them on my printer. They are legible too!! When I use it everyone wants to know what it is and if they can try it out. All have been pleased

I love this camera. It is so easy to use and the pictures are sharp. The perk of being able to upload directly to Facebook, Dropbox, email etc. is awesome. I have 2 friends that went out and bought this camera after seeing mine and the picture quality. I highly recommend.

I bought this camera for my 82 year old mother. She is so excited that the pictures are so vivid and vibrant even at a distance due to the optical zoom (unlike other digital zoom cameras where the end result is "grainy"). She is looking forward to learning how to post to her Facebook directly from the camera using its wifi.

I bought this for my wife as a Christmas gift. I tried it out in most of the modes and settings. Very easy to use and it takes great pictures. I like that it's android based so the learning curve is less,everything we have is already android based. Great camera,and I'm a huge Samsung fan anyway.

this camera is good because of the crisp and clear pictures it take the flash is good in dark area, the touch screen is fantastic and the apps is a unique thing to have to play games or go online the cons is the charge cord it came with is way too short its not good you have to have the camera so close to the plug it in, and it should have come with more accessories for the price of the camera ,but overall its a good camera

This camera is amazing! It takes great pictures, so many different options: night, light, kids, panoramic, etc. The only thing that is challenging is no data card, everything downloads onto the cloud. One one hand that is good but on the other it may be difficult for some people.

I'm still learning my way around this camera. I'm enjoying it immensely. I took it on a cruise this summer and everyone enjoyed taking pictures, the large camera screen, the Internet and the games we played. Never got around to posting to Facebook/Instagram but will try that next. Money well spent.

This Samsung camera is one of the best. very easy to work and the pictures are great. The camera settings are easy to access and use. A little bigger then others but worth the size to have the best and clearest pictures

Takes good close up pictures easy to use nice sized screen

Camera is easy to use. Love the large screen. Only drawback is the flash device it seems very flimsy. I hope it lasts.

I am very happy with my decision to purchase this camera. It is very easy to use. If you can use your smartphone you can use this camera! Takes great pictures. Just recently went on vacation and was able to easily upload the photos to Shutterfly and create a beautiful photo book. Would highly recommend!!
