Samsung Files Trademark for Samsung Galaxy Camera

by Christine Torralba on February 13, 2012 2:30 pm

The trend of having an Android based camera was actually thought of by Polaroid with the SC1630 Smart Camera. So now, there is much reason to believe that Samsung is following suit.

The first thing that Samsung did was to pay a visit to the USPTO and file a trademark for their ‘Samsung Galaxy Camera.’ Although no official reports have been given, we believe this will become a reality in the near future.

The thought of having a good camera built with capable megapixels, running on Android, and with phone capabilities is very enticing! Just think of the number of people who will be rushing to get their hands on this product! Maybe soon after, there will also be an Android powered DSLR camera!

But with a 50% chance that it won’t happen, the idea is still very exciting!

How about you? Are you as excited as us about this?

it may have the 3.5″ screen, but that means a smaller camera body. The compact system cameras are a designed as a smaller alternative to dslr’s not your smartphone. The camera sensor is what is really important here. Your comparing apples to oranges.

It’s better than Galaxy Camera..

The sensor is important, but the biggest factors for me making real cameras more attractive than cell phone cameras have been (1) optical zoom and (2) stability, whether through a tripod mount (adaptors that work like little vises are nice and all, but not enough), optical shake reduction, or both. I’m not interested in software simulations of those two features, like blurry “digital zoom” or grainy high-ISO “electronic stability enhancement”. Give me the GS3′s sensor with 20-30x zoom and a tripod mount and let’s call that the minimum I’d accept in something sold as a camera for my hobbyist use.

I’d love to see a DSLR running Android, but I’m not holding my breath. Still, even with the interchangeable lenses, the name Polaroid isn’t exactly a selling point.
