This is pretty much the only camera I used the entire time I had it. With a 4G connection, the Android platform, and access to any Android app in the Play Store, I was hooked! In fact, all my Instagram pictures between March 23-May 2 were taken with this camera. (Yes, even the ones that used the PhotoGrid app!)
Size-wise, the Samsung Galaxy Camera is just perfect. It’s just about the same size as my Droid RAZR phone.
It’s a little bit thicker, but still fit in most of my pockets. It’s much smaller than my DSLR camera, which made it easier to pop in my purse for times when I didn’t want to carry my big camera bag.
(PS, these two photos were not taken with the Samsung Galaxy camera. Obviously. But the rest of the photos in this post were.)
The only photo editing I have done to these pictures was to resize them so they fit on the page. No contrast or color adjustment, no cropping, nothing.
I used this camera to capture the unforgettable day the calves broke out of the pasture.
I knew I had cooked another crockpot dish. But I couldn’t for the life of me find the photographs. I could have sworn I took photos! Well, I found them. Introducing Crockpot Chicken Parm, photos hiding on the Samsung camera. I used the “Food” setting, and loved the way they came out!
The “Landscape” mode really made the green grass pop. Here’s a photo taken in “Auto”…
And the same photo taken in “Landscape” mode. (Remember, no post-photography processing here, just the camera’s magic!)
This was the only camera I used when we went to Las Vegas in April. I loved the “Rich Tones” feature for photographs when we went to see the Hoover Dam. It was a pretty cloudy day, so I wasn’t sure how the photos would all come out. It’s so hard to capture the gradients in the red rock! Here’s a photo taken in “Auto” mode.
And the same photo taken in “Rich Tone” mode.
I let Farmer Doc take the camera when he went on a guys-only trip to see the St. Louis Museum of Transportation. For someone who doesn’t take very many pictures, he did a pretty good job with this camera!
Of course, there were plenty of cat photos. Most of them featuring Martin. (He’s so photogenic, how can I resist?)
And the “Sunset” mode was wonderful. It let me capture some absolutely fantastic sunsets!
Can you spot the farmer working past dark? It is #Plant13, after all!
Can you tell I’m a fan of the Samsung Galaxy Camera? It takes much better pictures than my phone. And the 4G connection made sharing photos so easy… on email, Instagram, Facebook, or whatever your social media of choice. And to get the photos off the camera onto my computer? Just transfer them to Dropbox! No muss, no cables, no fuss!
I cried a little when I had to send it back.
{Big thanks to Verizon Wireless who gave me this camera with a data connection to test for 4+ weeks. All thoughts, opinions, and photographs are my own.}
I know what you mean about being sad at sending it back. Glad you had so much fun with it.
