About the Samsung Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi)
Released in February 2013, the Samsung Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi) pairs a 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of 16 megapixels with a 20.9x optical zoom spanning 23-481 mm in 35mm terms at F2.8-5.9. The wide end is generous for landscapes and group shots, and the long end reaches distant subjects from a single lens.
What sets it apart in this period is the 4.8-inch monitor, a display far larger than most compacts carried, which dominates the back of the body. The body measures 129 x 71 x 19 mm and weighs 300 g, so it is closer to a small smartphone than a pocket compact. Storage is SD, SDHC or SDXC. A large screen makes composing and reviewing frames easy, though the size and weight should be kept in mind for daily carrying.
Buying one used
Inspect the large 4.8-inch screen for scratches, dead pixels and touch response. Confirm the battery still holds a charge, test SD, SDHC or SDXC cards, and extend the zoom fully to listen for smooth, even motor movement.
