Samsung Galaxy Camera in-depth review
|3 Previous
4 Performance
|5 Next
The Galaxy Camera's phone central processor and most of the components of the 'phone part' of the device are identical to the Galaxy S3, Samsung's current flagship smartphone. This means that while you are performaing 'phone tasks' on the Galaxy Camera such as starting apps, browsing the web, emailing, or navigation with Google Maps etc., the device is very responsive and quick. I've been using the Galaxy Camera as a phone subsitute on several occasions and its performance is essentially line with 2012 top-end smartphones.
Also keep in mind that like any Android device the Galaxy Camera first has to boot the OS after you switch it on. This takes a little while, so make sure you don't switch the device completely off if you want to be ready to take a shot at any time. Instead, it's worth keeping the Galaxy Camera in stand-by mode by short-pressing the power button. From stand-by it takes approximately three seconds before you can take a picture. Most of this time is consumed by the lens extending. The lens also retracts every time you switch away from the camera app to another app. You can always get back to it by pressing the shutter button, but again it takes a couple of seconds or so before you can snap a picture.
The native camera app can feel a little laggy, especially if you like to set some shooting parameters manually. In any of the Expert (PASM) modes you can change ISO, exposure compensation, shutter speed and/or aperture by tapping on the displayed values. Doing so opens the parameter screen. Each parameter is represented by a lens on a a 'virtual lens barrel' but while this looks quite nice, it takes about a second and a half or so for the barrel to 'extend' on the screen.
Continuous shooting
Shot-to-shot time in single drive mode is just under two seconds, but if you need faster shooting you can set the Galaxy Camera to continuous shooting in two ways. You can either select the 'Continuous Smart Mode' or shoot in one of the PASM modes and set the drive mode to 'continuous.' The latter method has the advantage of giving you manual control over ISO and shutter speed. In the Smart Mode all parameters are set automatically and Auto ISO limits itself to ISO 800. This means that, in lower light, you often end up with shutter speeds that are way too slow for capturing fast motion and your subjects can appear blurry.
In the PASM mode you can set the sensitivity to ISO 1600 or 3200 if needed which allows for fast shutter speeds even indoors or in overcast conditions. This is a real advantage over smartphones which rarely offer this option when shooting a burst.
Whichever way you select continuous shooting, the Galaxy Camera captures approximately four frames per second up to a maximum of 20 frames in one burst. The camera takes a couple of seconds or so to save the frames before you can start shooting the next burst. The ability to set a fast shutter speed even in non-optimal light in combination with the long zoom makes the Galaxy Camera a much better tool for capturing sports and action images than any smartphone.
However, like most cameras in continuous shooting mode, the rear screen displays the last captured image rather than a live-view image. This makes it difficult to follow the action, which is one of the reasons DSLRs with their optical viewfinders will remain the weapons of choice for action photography in the foreseeable future.
Auto focus
In terms of auto focus the Galaxy Camera's performance is on the level of a typical consumer digital compact camera. At wide-angle the lens takes approximately 0.5 sec to focus. Focus at the tele end of the lens is not noticeably slower but in low light focus times can double. Generally, if the camera is able to acquire focus and the focus indicator turns green, it works very reliably. We did not find any "false positives" among our several hundred samples shots.
The camera's focus illuminator helps in low-light situations but it always illuminates the center of the frame and is therefore of little use if your focus point is located in the corner or toward the edge of the frame.
Battery life
At 1650 mAh the battery is actually smaller than Galaxy S3's which, given that the Galaxy Camera has to move its zoom lens back and forth, doesn't inspire too much confidence. The Galaxy Camera's CIPA-rating is 340 shots which is roughy in line with our real-life experience. However, this number will decrease significantly if you use the device for anything other than taking pictures. Editing and uploading them or using Google Maps or any other app will reduce your power reserves and the number of pictures you can take.
In a typical mixed-use scenario with some picture taking and other activities, you should try and find a power outlet in the evening and recharge. Like most smartphones the Galaxy Camera's battery won't get you through two consecutive days without charging, even with moderate use. If you are using the device for navigation, emailing and similar activities, keep an eye on the battery status to make sure you've still got enough juice left when you actually want to take some pictures, especially if you keep GPS, Wi-Fi and/or mobile data on all the time. You might run out before the end of the day.

Ok so if I buy one I will have to carry a Phone (needs a sim for 3G/4G) that can't make calls, or texts, but can take good photos and video (Galaxy Camera) and a phone that can make calls and texts, but can't take great pictures, or video (Galaxy Phone).
I guess Samsung will just wait for someone else to jump first then!!!
비교적 공평한 평가로 판단됩니다.
Now only if Apple and Olympus would partner up and do something similar, and have it shoot RAW, we would have a winner! A PEN series with iOS. You would get great image quality, smallness, smartness and removable lens. That would be cool!
I think we just stumbled onto a way to save Olympus from their financial issues.
Replacing my Galaxy Note with this camera.. is it worth it ?
I also saw a conflict with the comment "...phone substitute (minus the actual phone call element)".
Being able to make calls natively is an essential element of a phone as popularly defined. VOIP isn't popularly considered synonymous with 'phone'. I think VOIP is considered an option to 'phone'. Otherwise, why make phablets? Just use VOIP.
Years ago, I used VOIP on my PC. My PC did 'apps' and I could make calls but it couldn't be a smartphone substitute. Holding a phone in your hand is a reasonable expectation...
This camera shares two elements of a smartphone: it can be handheld and it has the smartness. It still isn't a smartphone substitute without native calls.
Smartphones need to be portable, smart, and.. phones.
Is a 7" tablet the closest thing, by size, that doesn't make calls natively?
A good way to think of this camera is just 'mobile device' rather than 'smartphone'. I see it more as a 7" tablet substitute minus 2'2" than a smartphone substitute minus calling.
I don't andertand what exactly the level of remote control of the camera is posible with an android device like a phone or tablets. I see in all the demo and review that it posible to remote control the camera by voice, that is very nice feature. But we can't see the composition of an picture in life view to adjust and optimise it, in case we make group autoportret, that mean it posible to have a half of head in final picture.
I see this feature is diponible in panasonic sz10. An accesible price camera with wi-fi feature like this. And posible in the future avaible in tz40.
I don't tolk about the eye-fi card witch all the camera can share the picture and movie instantly. I own one and try it with an old nikon d40 or compact camera like panasonic tz1. And work. But I want to know what is the level to control the camera. The shooting parameters and, very important the zoom of the lenses remotely by an wi-fi device like a tablet. Of corse compact camera with fixed lens.
One thing samsung didnt think of and perhaps you didn't experience , the camera lens protrudes on boot up/start up. Or when an app activates the camera so if you are holding it as you are on the third photo in the article you have a big problem? This is a hybrid device, a tablet camera if you like, so if you are holding it like a tablet or have it mounted in a car , or sitting screen up on a table the lens will still protrude and either break the plastic internals OR push its self out of the car mount and onto the floor, just paid $200 to have mine fixed. Quite a few apps activate the camera programatically .Samsung could have thought ahead and either made the default to not protrude on startup or they could have mounted a proximity sensor on the lens side of the device to check for obstructions, but they didn't. Nor would they accept a warranty claim. Be very careful about this if you buy one.
At nearly $600, I would feel insulted reviewing it. at that price, get your self a DSLR and enjoy like 20 times the image quality.
I have a $65 canon powershot that I carry around and it's image quality is better.
and on my $100 powershot which I use for more of macro shots and squirrel pictures, the image quality is multiple times better.
The people at samsung must be insane pushing out that crap (I can understand if it was like $150-180 (since you are basically getting a device running full android), but if it did not have the android OS, and was just a basic point and shoot then it is not worth any more than $50.
Calm down, you are totally missing the point here and you'd be aware of that if you actually had read the review. By the way you got your pricing wrong. An unlocked Galaxy S3, which most of the Galaxy Camera's phone components come from, will set you back almost $600 on its own. With the Galaxy Camera you basically get the lens and camera features thrown in for free. Also, any 21x zoom compact will cost you at least $250 or so. It might not be your sort of thing but at least try and get the facts right. I did actually enjoy using it quite a lot. No, its IQ isn't great but you simply don't care about that if you then instagram/snapseed/pixlr-o-matic the image. Would I spend $600 on it? Probably not, but this is a first generation product and the prices will come down as they always do.
I understand that it has some features of more expensive cameras, but it mises out on the most important feature which is image quality. furthermore, it lacks the features needed to be used as a smartphone so it fails in both of the categories it tries to insert it's self in.
So, it's basically a smartphone. Except instead of making calls you get a better lens. Slightly chunkier. Lower battery life. Some more features like 120fps video.
But in the end...it's a smartphone that's not good enough to replace a smartphone.
Good try though.
Honestly, going Android is not the way to save compacts, if compact cameras aren't already an inevitably lost battle.
Manufacturers need to prioritize convenience, fun, real new features (not just coming out with 20 more crappy scene modes that apps easily outdo), lens and IQ flexibility.
They should stick a phone in a camera instead of trying to stick a camera in a phone!!!
Why, OH WHY, don't they offer a phone capability? - How much harder could it have been?
It IS a voice-over-IP-phone.
If under "phone capability" you mean cellular calling, then yes -- it is MUCH harder because of the legacy obsolete sh*t piled upon it.
A 2-month test and certification with FCC, a minimum of a 3-month cert with AT&T the way it's done today would make it at least TWICE as expensive as it is now.
Are you willing to pay this price? I did not think so.
So accept it for what it is and learn to live in the modern times.
Voice channels should already die along with analog fax etc.
But they never do, don't they?
I didn't read the whole review because this product doesn't really interest me as it currently stands. With that said, I would consider a product like this if it had IQ comparable to say, an Oly EPL1 or better yet Canon G1X. Probably a couple years away for that. It would also have to accomodate a SIM card with phone/text functionality. It wouldn't replace my phone, but it would be nice to pull the SIM out of my phone and pop it into this camera when I plan to take it along in lieu of my phone.
Cant make a phone call !? Thats what the carriers don't want you to know.
There are dozens of apps like Bria, Skype, Textplus, Zoiper,etc and hundred of VoIp providers such Callcentric, Voip.ms, Vitelity, etc that work in many mobile OS to make phone calls and send text messages.
Now, I'd have liked to see a more portable device. It seems that current choices are either a pinhole lens or a P&S super zoom.
When I heard the news about this android camera i was not that hopeful. Panasonic, Canon or Apple can do a better job.
Personally I'd rather have a better lens than zoom range along the lines of the Oly X10 or Canon S110 types. A 3X zoom large aperture lens with a 1/3.2" or smaller sensor. Hell even a fixed 35mm lens would be awesome.
Mhh, not sure if I agree with you, I think Samsung is a unique position to develop a great connected camera as they have both, mobile and camera knowledge. Apple doesn't (currently) have the camera side of things and Canon would lack the OS expertise. I think the Nikon S800C is a good example for a decent camera where the OS integration did not work as well as it should have.
Regarding Camera FV-5 app, you might have reviewed an older version. The last update (20th of January) actually supports the zoom wheel, as stated on the "What's new" in the Google Play site (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en). I also asked developers and ISO 3200 support will come with the next update.
I've just tried it out and while the zoom levers now make the lens move this doesn't work very well. the lens moves rather erratically, also focal length and aperture are not being correctly reported. It's still not really usable on the Galaxy Camera? Have you actually tried it? Does it work for you?
Yes, maybe it is not so erratic for me but doesn't work 100% perfect, right. I will contact the developers to ask them about this. They told me they are working on the specific Galaxy Camera support, let's see...
Sorry if someone's already mentioned it, but there's a factual error in the review:
You *can* control sharpness, contrast and saturation, in several steps, and it actually works well (in "expert" mode).
And since a recent firmware update, it now even remembers settings between reboots.
Although sadly you can't adjust noise reduction, I'm convinced the latest firmware has reduced smearing. There seems now to be more noise and less smearing. Also, the interface has speeded up a bit.
Otherwise I agree completely with the review. Stills at full resolution are let down by a so-so lens, maybe not surprising considering its zoom range, max aperture, and size. And over zealous image processing, although now slightly improved.
Videos are superb. Zoom, stabilisation, and the huge 16:9 screen make it great fun.
Around the home, as a tablet, it's great. It stands upright without a prop, has a loud good quality speaker, the wi-fi is strong, and the power means any video plays with ease.
I would like to ask the question why the Nikon S800c gets reviewed as a camera and not on the connect side. We are told the Samsung is a camera with wifi and cloud connection. Theoretically they are basically the same thing so why the difference in designation and the difference in scores. Do we need a newer version of of android and a smart looking phone to transmit very poor images. The nikon get less score but has far superior images. Its also one hell of a lot smaller and a lot cheaper and a better picture taking device. This looks like an expensive toy to transmit images that are very poor and as I have said before it can't even make a call or send a SMS.
+1. The s800c review failed to view it's IQ in the context of a "smart camera with connectivity", but instead seemed to make a more strict comparison with other 1/2.3" sensor cameras. What's more the s800c review asserted that it tested well in the studio scenes but did poorly outdoors, but the review samples (at least the ones below ISO 800) totally contradict that premise as IQ in the outdoor "real-world" samples looks similar to other small sensor compacts.
I haven't used the s800c, but I think the reviewer missed the mark in that sense.
To be honest, I am not sure if it makes that much difference which site the device is reviewed on. The test methodologies are the same and both sites we are as comprehensive and thorough as possible. We've also added dpreview scores for the Galaxy Camera to our database, so you can use our comparison tool.
The usual Samsung detail-destruction NR. Hardly a surprise... How long can it possibly take until them learn from that mistake.
If you compare it to the NX210 (whixh is also Samsung), you get an idea of what this Galaxy camera could have been. So it's not like Samsung cannot make decent camera's. I'm not saying the NX210 is the best camera, but is is very much better than this Galaxy camera.
I was excited when this device was announced, but it's too big to become the single device I carry. Even the largest smart phones still fit in my pocket. This doesn't. It's less fuss to carry both a small camera and a phone than this one large device.
PS: Too much fuss is being made of the fact that it doesn't make calls using the cellular network. Use Skype or Vonage. It's a non issue. I hope future Android cameras don't waste time on cellular network calling, either.
Would it kill them to enable voice?
FFS If they want to compete with phone cameras, then they gotta have a phone in them.
I imagine that you can install since it apparently has sound in and definitely has a 3G modem, I presume you an make the phone work if you try hard enough - but Samsung is already a phone manufacturer - they have the relationships with phone companies, so why not just make the phone work?
It's almost like they are too scared.
To me it is inevitable there will be phone's with something like real cameras, so lets cut to the chase, make like a Nike, and just do it.
I would expect future devices of this type to be voice-enabled but for now you'll have to carry a phone as well if you want to call home. We don't really know the reason, could be Samsung doesn't want to cannibalize their phone sales, could be licensing or patent issues...could be anything...
It sets a terrible precedent to have this review as part of DPReview Connect instead of standard DPReview. ALL cameras in the future will have WiFi built-in, along with some form of an operating system (whether it be Android or something else).
You should review this with other digital cameras in the main site. IT'S A CAMERA.
A terrible precedent? Jeez dude - relax!?
If this was at DPReview, there'd be people complaining "Why are you reviewing this toy/piece of junk? Why aren't you reviewing REAL cameras?" and blah blah blah.
People are never satisfied, are they?
It's simple, the Nikon wifi android is a Nikon, so it's a camera and is review by DPreview. The Galaxy is made by Samsung and is more or less a phone with a big lense, so it's review by Connect :)
@spidermoon, I am sure users of Samsung's NX series of CSC cameras, or their many compact cameras prior to this one, would be surprised that Samsung does not count as a camera maker... :)
Relax, for starters we use the same image quality tests on both sites, as you can see the usual box shot can also be found in our connect review. Also, this is a new product category and nobody really knows where it'll fit in in the future. But in any case, whether on dpreview or on connect, you can be certain to get the most in-depth reviews on our site.
Generally I think it is a good idea to combine high image quality and Android, and of course this will happen more often in the future.
The biggest problem though is the company producing the camera. I have had my painful experiences with the Samsung Customer Non-Service. They will tell you openly they cannot care for their customers because their company is so huge and ever expanding. That was the most shocking thing I have heard a service manager say to me. This happened at the Photokina 2012. How Samsung mistreats their customers who want to get something replaced that is obviously faulty to everyones eyes, is just unbelievably barefaced. In short: If you buy a faulty device from them, you have absolutely no chance they will do anything about it. My experience, and the experience of thousands of other people, if you do some research.
A lot of contructive and well-reasoned discussion here about this camera.
Where is the hate? Where are the flames!? What happened to DPR overnight?
Wait a minute. I read all that and until the end must have missed the part where they say this thing can't even make calls? OMG why on earth would anyone buy it then??? You already have Android on your phone! All that and you can just go out and buy a P&S camera which not only has better IQ but tactile buttons and is also cheaper. Wow.
well, but the compact can't edit images, can't put filters on them, can't upload to the cloud, can't read your email, can't read the news, can't watch your team on NBA game time and can't navigate home for you...among other things....does anyone still use their phone for calling people? ;-)
I do... :-|
Lars, you should know by now that your public is mostly formed by grumpy old me on their 60s which still develop their films in a lab.
Don't push them too hard saying that they can use their smartphones for other things than make calls only.
If it made phone calls, wouldn't that mean it's really a smart phone that has a nice camera? And that would put it in a different category entirely, right. As it is, it's a smart camera, not a smart phone. So it seems you're being critical for it not being a smart phone, even though it's not advertised as such. But this being one of the first smart cameras is why it's getting so much attention, right? Would it get this attention if it was a smart phone?
I thought points were deducted for items listed under "The bad". If not, then it seems like bad isn't always bad, but instead can simply be wished-for features.
Why is the inability of a camera to place phone calls listed under "The bad"? Is this really bad? Did Samsung advertise that ability? Do other cameras have that ability? I understand that most cell phones can also take photos, but I'm not aware of cameras that make phone calls. So how is that exclusively considered bad on this one?
I do get the point that the reviewer would have liked to make a phone call, but is it fair to deduct points for that?
We're not deducting points but I think it is worth mentioning. If you could use it to make phone calls that would mean you would have one less device to carry. It does everything a phone does apart from making calls. It also has all the necessary hardware components to make a call, so it seems an odd decision to not include this function.
If it does not make Phone calls why buy it. You can get better wifi enabled cameras. I really can't see the point of having to take this camera and a cell phone with me. This camera just becomes a small tablet with a big lens aimed at the android market. Cameras with operating systems are not new. The Digita Operating system was used on some cameras up to about 2000 these being Hp/Pentax and Kodak. I could also play Doom on it (HP C618 ) or download a app to give a sophisticated time lapse sequence, programmable on the camera. The bottom line was most of these cameras where a bit slow at the time. The Pentax/ HP where OK but the Kodaks where slow.
Jan, are you referring to any specific menus or just the Android OS in general? I did not find the menus slower per se but it's a little annoying that the lens extracts and retracts every time you switch from to/from the camera app. There should be an option to leave the lens extracted when you go the gallery app for example.
I had read about the unnecessary lens movements so that's another minus for this camera, hopefully a firmware can fix. I love ICS and now Jelly Bean on the S3. I was referring to the the menu interface in general. I benchmarked how fast it is to get the shot: run camera, touch screen to focus lock, hold camera steady and capture vs additional time required on the G Camera. Opportunity permitting, I may re-evaluate the camera to get a better feel of its OS.
Last December, for the first time I shot our family holiday in Singapore entirely on the Galaxy S3 smartphone (didn't feel like lugging an EOS) and loved how incredibly fast when it comes to toggling settings for the shots. I visited a Samsung store and checked out the Galaxy Camera as I was in the market for a Powershot G11 replacement. First impression: I was disappointed at how slow the Galaxy Camera when I tried navigating between menus - at the rate it was taking it sweet time, I would most definitely miss lots of moments the S3 was capable of capturing. Anyone with me on this?
I commend Samsung for taking the first step in a direction that many will find very interesting in the years to come - also in DSLRs.
Having the opportunity to do quick adjustments/crop/edit and upload photos (and short movie clips) directly from the camera anywhere you have cell phone coverage without any external units will be a major feature for lots of photographers. Be it event photography, sports, traditional photojournalism or those who simply want to share something without having to drag along a portable PC or tablet that adds bulk and an extra step in the workflow out in the field.
Love the idea, hope it makes it way to way more cameras in the future. Wi-fi connection alone - like several competitors already have built in - just won't cut it in my opinion.
I never had doubts about the camera itself(it's a decent point&shoot), I just never liked the price point. As a DSLR user myself, I'd be hard pressed to take this over an entry-level DSLR or a compact mirrorless like the Sony NEX-5R. The 5R even has Wi-Fi that let's it connect to a smartphone so you can upload it on the go. It just lacks the optical zoom range although I'm sure you could still crop or use it's fancy digital zoom and get better image quality over any point & shoot.
I don't like the price point either; I think this thing is doomed at $500. Will likely be $300 by Christmas if it's still around. That said, I'm not even convinced it is a decent point & shoot. The NEX-5R you reference is several levels above the Galaxy Camera, albeit admittedly a completely different animal altogether.
Too big and too thick.

CHICAGO – Governor Pat Quinn and Uber executives today announced that the ridesharing giant is moving forward with creating 420 new jobs by the end of 2016 in a major expansion of its Chicago regional headquarters. The announcement follows action the Governor took last month to veto legislation that would have imposed statewide restrictions on Uber and prohibited it from expanding beyond its current footprint in Illinois. The event is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to create jobs and drive Illinois' economy forward.
"Through innovation and job creation, Uber is helping drive Illinois' economy forward," Governor Quinn said. "Uber's new expanded headquarters will allow the company to continue its rapid growth and serve its riders and drivers throughout Illinois. While we have more work to do, Illinois is making a comeback and cutting-edge companies like Uber are a key part of it."
"Like many tech companies, Uber started with a few people and a good idea," Andrew MacDonald, Regional General Manager for Uber Central said. "The Uber idea spurred an entirely new industry, and the innovative nature of our business requires policymakers take the time to educate themselves on how it works and the appropriate way of regulating it. When policymakers do their homework, they soon learn that we offer access to a safer ride for everyone and bring a number of benefits to cities including higher incomes for drivers, service to neighborhoods that taxi companies ignore and fewer drunk driving incidents."
"We are very glad that Governor Quinn understands that and chose to side with the consumer by vetoing an anti-ridesharing bill that would have prevented all Illinois cities from enjoying those benefits," Macdonald added.
Uber's Chicago office serves as the headquarters for the company's Central Region that encompasses the Midwest, Texas and Canada. The more than 80 full-time employees based in the Chicago office include marketing managers, driver and rider support teams and operations experts who service more than 40 Uber cities across 16 states and provinces, including 11 in Illinois. Drivers who use the Uber platform are independent contractors.
Having outgrown its current office in just three months, the regional headquarters will move to a 56,000 square foot space at 111 N. Canal, currently being remodeled for Uber and other tenants including Twitter and Gogo Wireless.
Last month, Governor Quinn vetoed legislation known as House Bill 4075 or the "Uber bill" that would have imposed statewide restrictions on commercial ridesharing and limited Uber's ability to grow its operations in Chicago and throughout Illinois. By vetoing the bill, Governor Quinn preserved local control and allowed cities and towns to craft regulations that meet their own unique transportation needs.
Today's announcement follows news that the Illinois unemployment rate hit a six-year low in August when it fell to 6.7 percent. This is the lowest rate since August 2008 and a continuation of an uninterrupted drop in the state jobless rate that began in late 2013. Last month Illinois added more than 13,000 private sector jobs and the number of people employed in Illinois remains above six million, continuing a 2014 trend that has seen more people working in this state than at any time since early 2009.
Since taking office and inheriting decades of mismanagement, the Governor has enacted worker's compensation reform and unemployment insurance reform to make Illinois a better place to do business, in addition to major fiscal reforms such as pension reform and Medicaid restructuring that are restoring fiscal stability to Illinois. Governor Quinn is pushing a new tax cut for businesses that provide job training. By lowering the cost to train workers, businesses will have an easier path to creating new jobs and ensuring workers have the skills to drive a 21st century economy.

Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/mitsubishi/outlander/sports-utility-vehic le/review The Mitsubishi Outlander is the Japanese firm's contender in the compact 4x4 class. Competing with established rivals like Land Rover's Freelander, unusually, the Outlander benefits from a third row of seats. They're small, but for those occasions you've a couple more children to carry they're useful. The styling is tidy inside and out, and people carrier-like features such as sliding, easy-fold seats make it a practical choice.

Functioning both as an institutional archive and an open library on contemporary art, the Resource Room houses over 4,000 books and periodicals, including a video archive of performances and lectures presented by PICA.
It is a dynamic space for individuals to indulge their curiosity in contemporary art and to access a selection of unique materials not found in traditional libraries and bookstores.
The Resource Room is a place gather and discuss ideas in contemporary art. Throughout the year, the space hosts many of PICA's salons and lectures, but it's usually fairly quiet. It is the perfect place to spend an afternoon reading, watching a PICA performance on video, or investigating an artist or moment in contemporary history.
The Resource Room is open to the public during PICA office hours, Tuesday–Friday, 11am–6pm.
In 2012, PICA initiated the Resource Room Residency (RRR) program to support the growing artistic interest in research as art and archive as material. The program encourages a consideration of libraries, archives, collections, and collecting, but can find outlets in many forms and disciplines. RRRs are provided with a modest stipend and unlimited access to our books, media, and ephemera for three month engagements. They intersect with PICA's members and the community at large through salon discussions, screenings, public performances, and printed materials.
2015: The Resource Room Residency program will be on hiatus during 2015 while we update and restructure our RR archive and materials. Please check back in 2016.
2014: Matthew Cowan, Mars Dietz
2013: Nic Tammens, PSU Art & Social Practice MFA, FRONT
2012: Alex Felton, Claudia Meza, Lisa Radon
Resource Room Residencies are granted by invitation and by application. Please see our submission guidelines for details.

I'll start off by saying I am 20 and a guy. All be it I am on the much smaller side of adulthood and have issues with both occasional day wetting and bed wetting. Because I am so small there isn't really an adult diaper that fits me very well. So I ended up trying the boys version of these and they leaked horribly it was rather quite embarrassing to explain at work. So I tried the girls because I had heard they work better and I must say fantastic difference. I'm not sure entirely why but they are absolutely amazing if something happens while I am out and about or at night.
Love these diapers. They provide wonderful piece of mind. They are cheaper here than in the store. Ordered a case on Thursday, got it on Saturday when it shouldn't have arrived until Tuesday. Awesome shipping time.
My little girl loves these, and I have come to appreciate them as well. Giving her the confidence to stay over with friends. Not having to make sure she falls asleep in her own bed is another great thing. Being able to let her be a kid and fall asleep on the couch without worry.
i have been wearing these since i was in high school and never let me down i highly recommend these
These are super cute and comfortable! Also VERY absorbent and virtually leak free!!

The number of people out of work in Britain has risen, pushing the unemployment rate to a four-year high. Measured by international standards, the number of unemployed rose to 1.59 million in the first three months of the year, up 44,000 over the quarter and 177,000 compared with a year ago.
That pushed the unemployment rate up to 5.2 per cent - the highest since November 2002 - from 5.1 per cent in the previous three months.
The number of people claiming unemployment benefits also increased, by 7,700 to 945,500 in April, the highest level since June 2003. The rate remained at 3 per cent. The so-called claimant count is steadily approaching the 1 million mark after increasing in 13 of the past 14 months.
The long-suffering manufacturing sector was hit with further job losses of 117,000, taking employment down to 3.06 million, the lowest since records began in 1978. Tony Woodley, general secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, said: "With manufacturing being massacred it is, sadly, no surprise the unemployment figures are rising. The figures demonstrate we are dealing with a crisis."
However, overall employment is also rising: it climbed 127,000 between January and March compared with the previous three months. John Butler, at HSBC, said: "The reason for this apparent dichotomy is that individuals previously classified as inactive are now joining the labour market looking for jobs."

There are times in life that you wonder how will you make it through to the next day. If you are reading this post; take a deep breathe, hit the cloud of Inner Peace and realize that GOD has given you one more day to get it right…. Realize that you have an inner peace, a joy that no one can take away. You can only give it away. Take out time and stop, during the rat race of life, and enjoy the beauty of living.
Man cannot give you the joy that has been built inside of you. This confirmation must be felt and known. Your creator knows you better than any human. But, it is not understood why humans keep going to a person for guidance instead of going to the one who has created you. Walk, talk and breathe in harmony with your creator and find the peace, within, through your universal journey.
Masterfully crafted from the experiences and wisdom of Vickie Edwards Smith, 'The Checkerboard Game of Life' fuses fact with fiction to help any reader create their own roadmap for living a balanced, more fulfilling life. Life may be a game, but Smith knows it is also a gift that – through careful strategy – provides an abundance of wins. Nobody travels through life's obstacles alone…as Smith is about to prove with gusto.
For Immediate Release
Randolph, MA – While almost everyone presents a brave, positive and sometimes even egotistical façade to the world, millions struggle inside with seemingly-impossible obstacles that can easily become debilitating. Having spent her entire adult life helping thousands cut to the core of life's gift, Vickie Edwards Smith has a bold message – it's surprising easy to cross over these "obstacles" and emerge a hero.
In 'The Checkerboard Game of Life', Smith lays out a blueprint anyone can follow to grasp life's gift by the horns, plot their own course for a productive new destiny and revel in a life that is finally fulfilled.
Each of us is given a gift—the gift of life. At times, some may wish they could exchange their gift for a different version. Since that's not possible, we have to deal with what we are given. We have to learn how to play the game.
Developing you is huge in understanding the gift of life. In her book, The Checkerboard Game of Life, author Vickie Edwards Smith tells Eva's story. Like most of us, she wants to get the most out of life. She's always thought of life as a game of checkers. Life makes its move and then it's her turn to make hers. Each move she makes is her choice. Life's moves may make hers more difficult—and she's certainly had trying times—but she manages to jump them and win.
The Checkerboard Game of Life takes you on Eva's journey, which may be much like your own. Seeing how Eva handles her situations will give you a clearer understanding of how to develop inner peace and understand how you arrived where you are today. Learn how to create a map for living a balanced and more fulfilling life.
"I know what it is like to face obstacles and think that you're the only person in the world facing that particular plight," explains Smith, founder of 'The Networking Secret'. "But there is a way to empower yourself to cross over those obstacles, even the ones that feel like ten-ton boulders, and do it with relative ease. In my new book, I provide all of the inspiration necessary for readers to chart their own way out of their adversity."
Continuing, "I expose the secret weapon that anyone can pick up and fire repeatedly throughout the great battle that is life. It's not going to be easy, and it requires hard work on the part of the reader; but anything is possible when the mindset I describe is adopted. Life won't stop throwing curveballs at you, but it can't restrain you from catching them and throwing them back. If that's what you want to do, and if you're willing to take a journey deep inside yourself to achieve it, then pick up a copy and let's get to work!"
With the volume's popularity increasing, interested readers are urged to secure their copies without delay.
'The Checkerboard Game of Life', from iUniverse, is available now: http://amzn.to/1Jsr1iL.
Copies can also be purchased directly from the publisher: http://bit.ly/1IaffJ6.
About the Author:
Vickie Edwards Smith graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a bachelor of science degree in information systems/systems analysis and also studied psychology. She is the founder of the Networking Secret. Vickie Edwards Smith is available for Inspirational/Motivational, Directional Speaking events and workshops.

When you think of making money with gold, do you think of Gold Jewelry parties. Looking at Gold in another way can be profitable beyond your concept.
If you have not, saddle up your boot straps and get ready for the ride that you have prayed and dreamed for. This is such an exciting and unbelievable ride that you would kick yourself "HARD" and "LONG" if you pass the chance to just Listen, Look and Realize that your life could be on the path to Success.
If you have heard of the New International Gold Money let me help you reach the level of success that you have chosen for yourself. Everyone's definition of success is not the same. Some may be saying "If only I had $200 more a week I will be fine," while another may say, "If only I could make $30,000 per week, I could setup a legacy for my family." Imagine if money was no object, "What would your definition of success be." No matter what your definition is, pay close attention. There are many who do not know about us yet. But, now, "You Do."

Karatbars International – The Good
Karatbars International was founded in 2011. They are a company which offers an attractive and affordable option for the consumer to purchase 999.9 pure gold bullion as well as their specialty lines of gold merchandising, collector & gift cards. This company offers the consumer an independence to own, manage & control their personal purchases. They are providing an opportunity for everyone worldwide to own gold at an affordable price point.
The headquarters and the logistics center of the company is located in Stuttgart. It is responsible for the support, marketing, customer and partner communication, execution and delivery of orders. Their Headquarters also co-ordinates the launch of new countries throughout Europe.
Karatbars International offers its customers several storage options:
* Storage Prosegur (free) – Frankfurt Neu-Isenburg
* Storage Switzerland (charged) – A direct contract with the Swiss company
* Storage Singapore (charged) – A direct contract with the Singapore company
Deliveries in smaller quantities are packaged under video surveillance at the home of Karatbars International and shipped via FedEx daily.
The affiliates can refer others to an online Gold Savings Plan and earn commissions whether or not they personally purchase their products.
Karatbars International – The Concern
Whether or not Karatbars International is a good business opportunity, it is clear to say that the most valuable assets are precious metals.
Several people are referring to Karatbars International's gold product as LBMA certified gold. Please note, the LBMA does not certify gold, they certify the refinery.
This Company claims to be the only company that will buy back an affiliate's gold.
Karatbars International – Ugly
Karatbars International, like many other online companies, teach their distributors to leverage their "warm market", friends, family and/or anyone you bump into. However, when a new distributor comes talking to their friends and family about making a tremendous income with a business opportunity… and the distributor is not making any money… there is a credibility issue that occurs, and the distributor is positioned as a gopher for someone else's business.
Growing this business can be a great opportunity. They appear to have a good service. There are plenty of companies that offer purchasing gold online but you must be aware:
* Is the Gold 999.99 24K pure
* Where are the Gold Refineries that are producing the Gold
* Does the Company have free storage
* Will the company buy the gold back(this is huge)
In closing, I would say that starting and developing a Karatbars International business is lucrative if you know how to effectively use the telephone, the Internet, and other effective marketing tools. Many people who market great products never make a dime. It is not a rip-off, but like any business, success will be determined by the skill-set of the marketer. This Company is definitely not a lottery ticket or a stock option – meaning, you do not just exchange your currency to gold and wait for a payout.
The difference is the marketer, and their ability to target their market effectively to others that this makes sense to. If someone does not have the first clue on how to market effectively, then I would suggest they either learn how to be an effective marketer, or else just use Karatbars International as a way to effectively move your money from one pocket(Financial Institution) to a more secure pocket for the means of protecting your assets.

GENEVA (AP) The U.N. health agency says it is investigating a mystery disease that killed three people in the South African city of Johannesburg.
The World Health Organization says the disease appears to be a form of hemorrhagic fever.
It says tests have proved negative for Ebola, Lassa fever, Rift Valley fever, Marburg fever and other main types of hemorrhagic fever.
WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl says the first death on Sept. 13 was a tour guide who had fallen ill in Zambia before being evacuated to South Africa. Two further deaths on Sept. 30 and Oct. 4. involved a paramedic and a nurse who treated the woman.
Hartl said Friday that 121 people are being monitored and WHO hopes to receive further test results by Sunday.

Kobe isn't close to me: Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant is wearing a lot of red, white and blue while playing for Team USA as the team heads into the Olympics. The Lakers star also must feel he's wearing a big red and while target on his back as well.
Bryant has long been a target for criticism from the media and fans alike. Sometimes even by his peers. Lately, though, the arrows possess some sting.
First Boston's Paul Pierce said he, not Kobe or anyone else, is the "best player in the world." Now, Michael Jordan joined the fray, saying he would best Bryant if he were in his prime. Someone caught the former Bulls superstar dissing Bryant at a camp.
