"The result is a most powerful portable device which continues to embrace the public's passion for the social features of smartphones, yet also provides superior image control and quality," continued Han. "We are dedicated to making it easier for more people to achieve great results and with the Galaxy Camera 2's host of creative features, anyone can capture stand out images."
Users can share videos and pictures by using advanced versions of Wi-Fi and NFC and the all new Tag & Go feature makes it easier to connect the Galaxy Camera 2 to NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets. A new feature called Photo Bean instantly sends a picture being viewed by the user directly to the device it is paired with.
Another one called Mobile Link allows photographers to select images they want to transfer to their smartphone for leisure. Remote Viewfinder allows picture takers to control the camera using their smartphone which provides them with a better way to set up the camera to take specific photos.
Samsung did not mention pricing or availability at this time. That information should arrive as the weeks progress.
