iPhone vs Samsung cameras, is one better?
Jun 20, 2019 19:47:39 #
Though not a millennial, at 55 years old I am definitely part of the younger crowd on UHH. I much prefer iPhone to the Samsung models or other androids. My computer is a Mac and it is easy to interface between the two. Currently, I have an iPhone XR which has one of the more advanced cell phone cameras on the market, but not the best one out there, even for iPhone. (The iPhone XS has a more advanced and versatile camera) I have been pleased with pictures taken when I don't have my DSLR with me. My wife on the other hand, prefers Android phones, and has a Samsung Galaxy S8. Her phone also takes excellent pictures, but there are now two Samsung models out with more advanced cameras. I don't like navigating through her phone, as I am unfamiliar with Adroid devices. Based solely on features and specs alone, it seems the newest Samsung Galaxy S10 actually offers a better camera than the latest iphone XS.

The "younger crowd" are not on this forum!

He is informative. I've already learned a few things watching his videos. I'll be watching more.

Hogwash.
When used within their limits and for their intended purpose, cell phone cameras are excellent. Artists have generating many magnificent artful images using cell phone cameras. Just check out some of the cell phone contests if you doubt this. It’s the nut behind the lens that matters most, because it is he or she, that creates the picture. The camera just records.
Cell phone cameras take great panaroamas in a few seconds, without fussing around on a computer.
And cell phone cameras cannot be beat for snapshots of friends and family events and for sharing.
The cell phone camera is the one camera most people always have with them.
I am older too. I use my cell phone camera when it suites me, and my other more expensive camera(s) when it suits me as well. Sometimes I use both.

My goodness—so many snarky comments!! If the question had been about a “real” camera, like a Kodak Brownie, commentators would have been rhapsodizing about the joys of photography, rather than the gear. It seems to me that photography should always about the eye of the photographer, composition., the light, the framing, the atmosphere, and the story the photographer wants to tell, and not about the camera. A smart-phone camera is as capable of story-telling as today’s best gear, a better piece of equipment than that of decades ago, and in the hands of a superb photographer, an incredible instrument, as capable as the highest priced gear, of telling a story.

I have a friend who has a Galaxy and her phone camera kicks my iPhone’s royal butt, particularly in low light situations.

Millennials,
I know, the usual battle is between Nikon and Canon, but this is the 21st Century. I don't need to hear from the gray panthers. This is a different toy. Will those who know please state their reasons for using one smartphone/camera over another? Granted the technology changes rapidly but what camera is better today?

When I was visiting Foxe Basin 10 years ago I took this pic with my iPhone 4 so I would have something to send out to family and friends when we reached an area that had cell phone coverage. It ended up being one of my favorites from this trip.

More #%*& to argue about on the UHH, just great! And yet it is always just an opinion. Other than Raw vs JPG or Auto vs Manual, how many people have actually used the same vintage of DSLRs or SmartPhones of different brands to even make a legitimate comparison. I've never used an iPhone, only Samsung Android. And yes, I've handled friends Canon and Nikon cameras but I've only owned Pentax, Fuji, Samsung, and Kodak digital cameras. How or why would anyone use one over another with reasons other than history or past experiences, if they only know one of them or yet a different smartphone (Windows, Blackberry, etc.). For first Samsung wife and I got a good deal. Real Cameras: Past use and ownership of Pentax film cameras. These types of questions are inherently usually only click-bait.

Wait until you see the low light performance of the forthcoming Note 10!

If you want to know who the winner is between iphone or samsung,, you should find out which one looks best to you.
I feel there is some validity to that just as using a camera obscura to make an oil painting or sketch does not really belong on the UHH either. Though many find such giant "pin-hole" cameras historically amusing.
