Samsung Galaxy K Zoom: bigger, more powerful … – The world of photography

If the trend of cameras is rather compact, the smartphone is the large screens. The two do not go together logically, and “smart cameras” Samsung is a good symbol: the Galaxy Camera is more thicker than the compact tablet and the new Galaxy K Zoom is substantially larger than the previous Galaxy S4 Zoom.

It suffers from a perfected design with a mini-handle end and a catchy little late than where the bulky lens barrel housing. If it adds a steering zoom ring, it creates a particularly troublesome asperity to slide the device in a pocket or a bag out.

The Galaxy K Zoom will be available in June for less than 500 €: this is a high price for a compact 10x zoom and a 4.8 “smartphone, but a bargain compared to buying two separate devices …
