About the Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G
The Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G, released in August 2012, is a connected compact combining a 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of 16 megapixels with a 21x optical zoom spanning 23-483 mm in 35mm-equivalent terms. That focal range goes from a wide 23 mm view for scenery and interiors to a long 483 mm reach for distant subjects.
The defining feature is the 4.8-inch monitor, a display far larger than those on typical compacts of its time, and the body is sized to match at 129 x 71 x 19 mm, weighing 305 g. Images are recorded to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. It is closer in feel to a small smartphone than a pocket camera, so it suits those who value a big viewing screen and a wide zoom range over compact size. The 4G sibling shares the same optics and body dimensions.
Buying one used
Inspect the large 4.8-inch screen for scratches and touch response. Confirm the battery holds a charge, test SD, SDHC or SDXC cards, and extend the zoom fully to check for smooth, even motor movement.
