Samsung has publicly released the kernel code for its Android-based Galaxy Camera, as it regularly does for its smartphones.The kernel is the core of the operating system including software that controls the hardware. In the short term, independent developers are discussing using the code to enable phone calls from the device but, beyond this, a publicly available kernel gives developers and hackers a greater insight into the Galaxy Camera’s workings than we’ve ever seen for a camera.
US cellphone network AT&T will sell Samsung’s Galaxy Camera from November 16th at a price of $ 499. The Android 4.1 connected camera, which essentially adds a 21x zoom compact camera to a Galaxy SIII smartphone (with the omission of phone function), will cost the same amount with or without a data contract – rather than being subsidized by the carrier, as smartphones usually are. Anyone buying a Samsung smartphone at the same time can receive up to a $ 100 discount. The AT&T version of the camera will offer a HSPA+ connection, not the faster LTE system.

Samsung has announced US pricing for the 12-24mm F4-5.6 ED wide-angle zoom and 45mm F1.8 mid-telephoto prime for its NX system. The lenses – announced at Photokina – will cost around $ 600 for the wide-angle zoom and $ 300 for the 45mm F1.8. Oddly we’re told there are no samples of the 45mm F1.8 at the show where they’re being ‘unveiled’, so we can’t know if it’s any closer to the promised ‘ultra-professional look and feel’ than the inexpensive-feeling early examples we saw at Photokina.
US mobile carrier AT&T has become the first network to announce that it will be offering Samsung’s Galaxy Camera – the first truly camera-like device to include a cellular data connection. The version being offered is being described as 4G but AT&T has confrimed it will use an HSPA+ connection, rather than the faster ‘LTE’ system that is more widely accepted as ‘4G.’ Prices and details of data plans are also unspecified at this point.

Samsung has announced the MV900F – a flip-screen ‘MultiView’ camera that adds the company’s range of WI-Fi-capable ‘Smart’ models. The MV900F is built around a 16.3MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor and a 5x, 25-125mm, F2.5-6.3 zoom lens. It also features a 3.3″ OLED screen that can tilt up through 180° to allow for simple self-portraits. This capability is complemented by the addition of the company’s app-mediated smartphone connectivity, allowing images to be easily transferred for upload to the Internet. The camera will be available from August at a recommended price of around $ 349.
Samsung has refused to confirm reports that it is working on an Android-based camera, only to say it is looking at the idea. The non-denial, which says ‘it is something we are monitoring,’ comes in response to reports from tech website Engadget that it is considering an ‘open’ camera operating system. However, while the site goes on to speculate that Android makes sense, based on its parent company’s use of the OS on its smartphones, we think there are other reasons for Samsung to use Android.
