Review: Samsung Exhibit 4G
Camera
The Exhibit 4G's camera viewfinder window is busy with controls running down either side. On the left, users can switch to the front camera, select shooting mode (single, panorama, continuous), the camcorder, and the exposure, On the right, you can access the full settings tools and the gallery. One glaring flaw with this menu set-up is that Samsung moved access to the flash from the quick-access screens to the full settings menu. This means it takes longer to toggle the flash settings. Boo, Samsung!
The main camera settings menu is extensive and lets advanced users adjust nearly every facet of the camera and picture-taking experience. Exposure, scene/setting, metering, ISO, and more can all be tweaked.
The Exhibit 4G has touch-to-focus, and will lock onto anything you want in the viewfinder. Focusing takes about a second, and once the focusing box turns green, you can shoot the image.
About my only serious complaint is that the Exhibit doesn't have a physical shutter button.
Gallery
The Exhibit makes use of the stock Android 2.3 photo gallery. Images are stored in floating stacks based on date. The view of the gallery can also be switched to a more linear timeline view. Once you dive into the gallery or photo you want, you'll find more of the same standard Android experience.
The only editing options available on the Exhibit are crop and rotate. Photos can be shared with a number of the most popular social networking and photo sharing services.
