Banflower 5K Vlogging Camera
Score: 87/100Rankings
The Samsung Galaxy Camera EK-GC110 blends a 21× optical-zoom compact with Android 4.1/4.2, offering a large 4.8" HD touchscreen, full Google Play access and Full HD video. While its sensor size and battery life limit image quality and endurance, it excels at connectivity and creative flexibility for casual travelers.
The Banflower True 5K is an entry-level point-and-shoot that offers eye-catching 80 MP stills and 5K video, a large 4" touchscreen and Wi-Fi, but suffers from a tiny sensor, lack of stabilization and a non-flip screen.
