While it sports much the same image...
Last February, Samsung announced that is was preparing a new variant of the Galaxy Camera, its first Android-powered digital camera.

Where the original Galaxy Camera (US$500) includes both Wi-Fi and 3G/4G mobile data...

In the annals of product launches, the introduction of Samsung's new NX1100 compact system camera is going to go down as one of the stranger ones.

The Samsung EX2F was mostly a pleasant surprise for us. It aspires to be the compact digital camera an enthusiast photographer would never find themselves without -- a handy, everyday sidekick -- and largely succeeds, albeit with some quirks and limitations that we discovered during our time with it.
But overall we found so many...

Korea's Samsung brought no less than seven new camera models to the Consumer Electronics Show this year. The consumer electronics heavyweight updated two of its existing long-zoom Smart-branded cameras with new versions, and added a third model to the line that's smaller and lighter than past efforts.

Big, bulky cameras aren't for everybody. You don't need chunky, SLR-like styling to get interchangeable-lens versatility, and some of us are more than happy to forgo a few features for street shooter anonymity. Back in 2011, Samsung answered that need, dropping the electronic viewfinder from the then-flagship NX11, and creating the stealthy...
It's been almost a year now since Eastman Kodak Co. entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Among the many cameras announced this year, the Samsung Galaxy Camera stands out as genuinely different. We've been intrigued by the possibilities of a camera with a full-blown Android operating system and built-in cellular data connectivity ever since the Samsung Galaxy Camera was announced, and were keen to put one through our rigorous testing. When our review sample arrived...
The recent double-whammy of Hurricane Sandy and the Nor'easter that followed just days later has left parts of the northeastern United States reeling.

We rolled down the hill with a Samsung EX2F digicam before tonight's opening game of the 2012 World Series between the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants. Thought we'd get you in the mood.
