Re: Galaxy Camera 2 users?

Great to see some user experiences on this camera.

I'm thinking of picking this up for my wife. She's an iPhone user, but her old 4s is dying a slow death. She wants an iPhone 6 eventually, but the phone is arranged through work, and navigating between personal and work contracts for the phone is a pain.

So, I figured this might be an acceptable compromise. Like others have said, this camera wouldn't be for poster quality images, but for snapping quick photos and then posting to FB or emailing quickly to family.

However, has anybody compared it to the Nikon Coolpix s810c? That's the other compact using Android, but I guess neither are widely used. I've read that the Nikon has better image quality, but that the Samsung is more amenable to social media. The larger screen is a plus, and my wife does not like particularly small, finicky cameras.
