Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom

The Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom 

is both smart phone and camera.
An ideal I am quite scaptical at first glance. Concern about image quality, battery drain, size, heat, etc. So dicided to bring it along for a test drive.

*The above images were shot with a Canon G16 on jpeg file in ambient showroom lighting condition.

The following images were test shots taken with 

the Samsung S4 Zoom

A little light room software can make the difference.

Wide angle shot.

Nice bacon!

Low light situation with still objects still acceptable for a phone, but moving objects socks.

Looks pretty cool for a camera in a phone.

The video quality of the S4Zoom is quite amazing even in low lighting where the still shots fail for moving objects..

I am begining to like the Samsung S4 zoom ideal of having a phone and a resonable quality camera plus video cam on standby everywhere I go.
