Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
has a built-in focus motor
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen

Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
viewfinder coverage

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy Camera)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.

4.8"

The size of the screen (measured diagonally).

Optics

sensor size

1/2.3"

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount

focus points

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy Camera)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy Camera)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy Camera)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
continuous shooting at high resolution

12 fps

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.
has AF tracking
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Videography

video recording (main camera)

1080 x 30 fps

1080 x 30 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
has continuous autofocus when recording movies
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
Samsung Galaxy Camera

With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
Samsung Galaxy Camera
Samsung Galaxy S3
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy S3)

The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

Battery

Battery life (CIPA)

Miscellaneous

resolution

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Samsung Galaxy Camera)

720 x 1280 px

Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
pixel density

308 ppi

306 ppi

Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.

CPU speed

4 x 1.4 GHz

4 x 1.6 GHz (Samsung Exynos 4412)

The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
Has customizable notifications
