From DailyTech: Samsung introduced its Android-powered Galaxy Camera 2 today, which bears many of the same qualities as its predecessor, but reportedly takes a better picture overall.
According to a Samsung press release, Galaxy Camera 2 got a bit of a makeover style-wise (compared to the original Galaxy Camera) and has some new features onboard. It's expected to make an appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next week.
The Galaxy Camera 2 carries many of the same features as the original Galaxy Camera, such as a 16-megapixel (MP) resolution, a 1/2.33-inch sensor size, 21x zoom range, up to 3200 ISO, 1080p video, and film slow motion at 120FPS.
But one of the biggest changes from the original model is a new image processing system that's supposed to produce better photos overall. Also, it has plenty of new shooting modes (28 smart scene modes total) and Internet-connected for quick photo sharing on social networks. This is definitely a smart move, considering mid-range camera makers like Panasonic, Fujifilm and Olympus are all hurting due to a lack of connectivity in their mirrorless camera models.
In addition, the new camera sports a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a 2000mAh battery that is expected to last more than 350 shots, Android 4.3, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and NFC.
The Galaxy Camera 2 has a different look than the original, with a faux-leather look instead of the first-generation's smooth white and black curves. The new guy on the block is also a little larger than the original with a 4.8-inch touchscreen.
