Samsung galaxy pro review

A quick peek at the specifications tells you the camera isn't likely to be up to much. With just 3MP on offer and no flash, you really shouldn't be looking for greatness. But there's autofocus and a reasonable range of shooting modes, including panorama mode, so you do get something to play with at least.
