What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
For those that are leaving reviews based on what you've read or watched, please purchase the item first, use it for at least a couple weeks, and then give us your "user experience." We appreciate the help that you may be trying to accomplish, but if you haven't used the product how can you rate it? Anyway, below is my review of the product.
I'm sure you can find all the specs and un-boxing videos as well as picture quality reviews and so on all over the internet, so I won't waste your time typing about that. Instead I'll talk about my personal user experience and you can relate to it or not.
I took the GS4-Z (or "Ph-amera") for a spin when my wife decided to take us on a mini 5 day vacation. I have to say, this thing is pretty useful. It takes quality photos and at the same time, you can share the pictures with your personal network without having to upload it to a computer or swapping micro SD cards (Although swapping can preserve image quality). If you share images on Whatsapp or other messenger, the quality of the photos will decrease due to their file size limitation. Instead, I chose to send them through email, and they turned out very good. The 10x's optical zoom is great, just be sure to keep your hand steady or place the gadget on a tripod. NOTE: Don't plan on standing this on it's side like a common compact camera to take timed shots, as the curves make it impossible to position it like so without some type of assistance.
The camera is heavier and thicker than your average modern smartphone, so be prepared to have this brick swinging in your pocket should you decide to run. I'd say it's just about as heavy as the Galaxy Note 2. I wore the S4 Zoom around my neck with a metal camera lanyard (wrapped in clear rubber), and it worked out very nicely.Read more ›

I read about this product and new it would be a must buy. The original price scared me off a little bit, as did a slew of bad reviews around the web. People said it was an abomination, the worst possible combination of two products.
I completely disagree. Let me first say, I have been dreaming of a phone with a "real" camera forever. I have tried all the recent flagships which say they have a great camera. I have tried All versions of the Gaalxy series, the Xperia Z, the HTC One, the Lumia 920, and 1020, the Nokia 808 pureview, the LG Optimus G Pro, the Iphone 3GS, 4 and 4S. There are more, but those probably have the best smartphone cameras. The S4 Zoom is in another league however. The inclusion of a proper optical zoom lens is the greatest feature. Also the bigger sensor helps quite a bit in capturing greater detail. I have gotten the best shots I have ever shot from a smartphone.
Sure, the camera tech makes it have a ridiculous hump and it is a little unwieldy. It's not unmanageable by any stretch though. Plus, the bottom of the phone functions as a great camera grip and the Zoom Ring lens works really well to compose slow zoom shots on the camcorder function.
The kicker, though is Android. At least for me, that is very important. I feel like I have the best of all worlds. I can get great pictures, and still have all the apps I want on the phone. With the Lumia line and the Nokia 808 I was missing too many apps I use everyday.
A word about battery life. I have found it very good. I can get through a day easily with fairly heavy use, pictures included. If I were out shooting an event where I took 200 pictures, I may need more juice, but then, this phone has a removeable battery! I can just buy a spare and bring it with me.Read more ›

I purchased the S4 Zoom because I wanted a versatile all-in-one Smartphone/Digital Point and Shoot Optical Zoom Camera/Video Camcorder so that I wouldn't need to carry around multiple devices either for everyday use or for traveling. I would rate the S4 Zoom differently depending on how I am using it.
4.5 stars as a Smartphone. The S4 Zoom has a smaller, lower resolution screen, lesser processor, and may be missing some of the non-essential software and interface tricks (such as hovering gestures) found on the regular Galaxy S4, but for the most part it does a great job making calls, running apps, giving GPS assisted directions, surfing the web, video and music playback and most every other function you might want your Smartphone/mini-computer to do.
4.0 stars as a Camera for taking digital photographs. I also own a two year old Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 with 16x optical (21x digital) zoom range, but which like the S4 zoom has a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor. I consider the DMC-ZS10 to be very good for taking both photos and video. While I knew I would be sacrificing some zoom range with the S4 zoom, which is only 10x optical zoom, in most other respects, both in image quality and functionality, I found the S4 Zoom to be nearly as good or in some case better than the DMC-ZS10 when taking photographs. (Please note that my opinion on image quality is based on viewing the images on a computer or hd television screen, since I do not generally print photographs to paper anymore).
2.0 stars as a Video Camcorder. The S4 Zoom takes good quality video as long as you are not using the zoom function. Once you start using the zoom the problems appear. The most glaring problem is a lack of continuous auto focus while zooming.Read more ›
