I take a lot of pictures – a lot. My camera is basically attached to me at all times. But I constantly battle between using my “good” camera and using my cell so I share the image instantly. I often take the same picture twice just so I can share it, and have it on my good camera. (All the while my kids are squirming!)
I found a solution that combines instant sharing with a “real” camera!
Staples sent me the Samsung Galaxy EK-GC110 to test for a month as part of the #30SummerDays Instagram challenge, where I took a daily almost daily themed photo. And I am a big fan of my new toy!
The Samsung Galaxy EK-GC110 is a 16 megapixel camera with a 21x super long optical zoom and 23mm wide-angle lens, which can be operated fully automatic or fully manual. Pretty cool for a point and shoot.
With a built-in Photo Wizard, you can even edit photos on the phone before sharing them. Adjust brightness and color, add effects, crop and more all from the camera. Oh and it has an 8G onboard memory with the ability to increase storage with a micro SDSC slot too. For a shutterbug like me, that’s a good thing.
I like to tell people that the only thing the Samsung Galaxy camera can’t do is make phone calls!

If I won this amazing camera, I would be taking it into the delivery room in December so my fiancée can capture the labor and delivery of our 3rd little one.

It really doesn’t capture the beautiful moments of daily life and the rare moments like the birth of a baby as well as it used to. Someday we hope to buy a dslr, but until then this camera would be the perfect fill in! Thanks for the chance Jen!
