Samsung unveils Galaxy S4 Zoom camera/phone hybrid

Seems like something just up my alley. A little bit thick for my taste; however, considering the zoom range this is a given (and something future generations will easily improve on for easier marketing).

The first reviews suggest the image quality is lacking for a dedicated photo-phone, which is saddening (a proper price could mitigate this).

And for those comparing it to the future Nokia EOS and it’s loss-less digital zoom – it can only do 3x zoom, so a direct comparison isn’t possible, really (different tools for different needs).

The ergonomics could seriously impact it’s use as an everyday phone, but I’ll judge that when I can try it out in person. Oddly enough, this is exactly the phone I was campaigning for when the Galaxy Camera was released (thank you, Samsung).
