Around 2012 there were attempts to make cameras with smartphone technology. Only a couple of companies tried their hands at this. One was Samsung and the other was Nikon. The first Samsung was its Galaxy Cam EK-GC100. A year or two later this was replaced by its Galaxy Cam 2. I believe there was also an SLR style camera, but I have never seen that one in stores. The Nikon camera ("Nikon Coolpix S800c") was the other camera maker, and again, I have never actually seen a Coolpix S800c myself. I did buy the EK-GC100, and I have posted sample video files from it before.

I am not sure when I bought mine, but the earliest sample file I found was:

"20150723 Tessanne Chin Toronto Samsung Galaxy Cam EK-GC100" "[ Ссылка ]" which was a night recording.

I recently made new video and still files, including this video. You might notice that it is not "level". That was sort of deliberate. I did not mind the "Dutch angle" this time. In fact, while the camera does not have a "level" indicator, I did install an Android App which gives me an accurate level if I want to use it. But it takes some fiddling, (I have to run the "level" app to set the camera, and then return to the camera app to take the picture or capture the video), so I did not bother to use it this time.

2024-08-12: ABOUT THE ZOOM: I did NOT use the full zoom range during this video. I only used "enough" for the composition. There was more. . . .
