Cons:
- Camera Not At Par with the Price (Overpriced)

- No Voice Calls

- No Manual Focus

- Does Not Have 3D and HDR Functionality

- Slightly Bulky and Bigger Than Average 'Point & Shoot' Camera

- Design Not Enough Good to Hold With One Hand, Especially For Larger Ones

- One Might Feel No Space for the Finger to Rest When the Flash's Popped Out

- Below Average Battery Life

- Not Waterproof

- No Automatic Pop-Up Flash, It Only Functions Through a Manual Press-key Present on the Left Side

Mid-lines:
- The More the Light, the Good the Pictures / Videos (Daytime)

- Can Slip In Pocket If Not in Tight Fit Jeans

Final Opinion / Conclusion:
- Though A Good Gadget but Considering the Thick Size, The Over-Price and Moreover the Not So Fab. Point & Shoot Quality of the Samsung Galaxy Camera GC100, It Receives A Tough Shoulder from ‘Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX30V’ and ‘Samsung WB850F’, Who Are Lot More Inexpensive and Are Also Capable Of 3D and HDR Functionality.

One May Also Go For Smartphones Like Nokia 808 Pureview, That Would Fit In Pocket and Can Be Used For Making Voice Communication As Well but Then You Have To Compromise with the Optical Zoom Quality.
