The jury is still out on Samsung’s Galaxy Camera. It’s a very exciting concept that demonstrates—very well, I might add—where the point-and-shoot market could shift to. But it still needs a bit of work, some fine-tuning. This update is a step in the right direction.…

Polaroid’s interesting new mirrorless Android-equipped camera made an appearance on the Pepcom demo floor yesterday evening (in prototype form, the company stressed), and it was… worse than expected. We didn’t exactly see it strut its stuff—we merely got to touch and prod it—so it’s difficult…

If you wanna zoom in far—like, binocular military sniper-level far—Fujifilm has a new pair of S series cameras that takes the insanity to an absurd level. One reaches a max level of 42x manual zoom; the other more than doubles that tally all the way…

Polaroid’s time in the spotlight may be long gone, but its name is still synonymous with film photography (and, to some extent, as a proxy of Instagram). While that’s unlikely to change in the coming future—it might!—the company is looking to recapture part of its…

This is not a smartphone, despite the device’s pedigree. Nor is it any plain old point-and-shoot. With Galaxy S III guts, Samsung’s Galaxy Camera is bravely attempting to merge the very separate and conflicted worlds of point-and-shoot photography with hyper-connected smartphones. It sounds like the…

AT&T might not be the only carrier to offer Samsung’s peculiar Galaxy Camera. The point-and-shoot/Android cyclops has reportedly shown up in a new FCC document with Verizon as a possible suitor — that means LTE is onboard rather than AT&T’s HSPA+ version. Interestingly, although the…
