[dgstorm]

It looks like Samsung didn't stop with just he launch of their new Galaxy Note 2. They also announced a strange and cool new device. It's an Android based camera with some crazy good specs, built on the Galaxy phone design, and running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean! Here's the scoop:

• 23mm f/2.8 lens with 21x optical zoom
• 4.7" HD Super Clear Touch Display at 308ppi
• ISO from 100 up to 3200
• 3G and 4G connectivity
• 1.4GHz Quad-core processor
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
• 8GB onboard storage
• microSD
• HDMI
• A-GPS
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
• 1650mAh battery

It also has a slew of advanced software features. Here's a few:

• Access to Google Play Store and all of its plethora of camera apps
• Features ten different shooting modes - this includes a "Smart Pro Mode" with aperture, shutter speed, and even more adjustments for experienced photographers
• Can use voice control for functions like zooming, group-shots, toggling and more.
• Has a "Best Group Shot" feature which can merge images with different faces for each subject
• Photo Wizard - includes minor editing functionality and a filter application
• Movie Wizard - does the same for videos
• Share Shot, allowing sharing with other Galaxy Cameras or phones

This is a facepalm kind of good idea. It makes you wonder why we haven't seen more of these in the past!
