<p>Samsung is unveiling the Galaxy Camera 2 today, its second take on the idea of a truly smart point-and-shoot. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy Camera 2 runs Android, has wireless connectivity, and is operated primarily through controls on a large, 4.8-inch touchscreen. It's still designed around making photos easy to share and edit using Android apps, but this time around, Samsung is promising a camera that can take even better photos in the first place potentially making up for one of its predecessor's weakest points.</p><p>A style change and a spec bump</p><p>Though the Galaxy Camera 2 has the same 16-megapixel resolution and fairly small 1/2.33-inch sensor size, the device includes a new image processing system that Samsung tells us should be able to turn out better looking photos. The camera also includes a 1.6GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and a battery that's estimated to last over 350 shots. It's running Android 4.3, and in addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the new Galaxy Camera also includes NFC connectivity. For now, Samsung isn't saying whether there will also be a model with 3G connectivity like its predecessor had, but further details could come when the company announces specific regional availability.</p><p>Some of the Galaxy Camera 2's biggest additions fall around shooting modes. It's including a ton of new smart scene modes 28 in total after finding out that owners of the original Galaxy Camera used them quite a bit to help automatically set up shots. But it isn't going all-in on simplicity: photographers will also be able to select separate autofocus and autoexposure points on the new model's touchscreen, adding a slightly more advanced feature for those who want to make sure that their pictures turn out just right.</p><p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/2/5264370/galaxy-camera-2-announced-samsung-android-point-and-shoot">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2014/01/02/samsung-galaxy-camera-2-announced/">Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 adds new shooting modes to the Android-powered ...</a> (VentureBeat)</p><p><a href="http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2014/01/02/samsung-galaxy-camera-2-16mp-point-shoot-21x-optical-zoom-android-4-3/">Samsung Galaxy Camera 2: 16MP Sensor, 21x Optical Zoom, Android 4.3</a> (The Next Web)</p><p><a href="http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/71946/20140103/samsung-galaxy-camera-2-release-date.htm">Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Release Date: New Android Point-And-Shoot ...</a> (KpopStarz)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d79ZpeUbZ8ogyfM5sDuAXzwmcDtcM&authuser=0&ned=us">695 additional articles.</a></p>
