I got a Samsung S9 from work. Holy shit those images are sharp.
Yeah at night the software cheats like hell but still.
And while my mobile phone has tones of great features (super slow etc.) my DSLR is heavy and autofocus is okayisch.
I really expect something good from Canons upcoming 90D otherwise i'm not sure how long hobby people will keep using DSLRs.
Of course there are differences in bokey, low light performance, macro, tele etc. but i was very impressed what a Samsung S9 can do now already. I can't imagine that they will stop and you can do a lot with software.
- GordonS 8y agoI have an S8, and I actually stopped using my aging Canon 450D as the pictures it takes are so good (and I'm only taking family pics these days). As long as you don't need to zoom, the quality of the images modern phones can take really is incredible.
- porker 8y agoI looked at the S8 recently; how do you find the curved glass at the edges in use? I found the distortion distracting, and thought the colour was shifting. Apart from that, loved the phone.
- GordonS 8y agoI don't have the 'edge' version. It cost extra money for what I saw as a purely aesthetic feature that I also didn't like.
- jbjorge 8y agoIn my costly experience - the curves make it guaranteed to crack the glass if dropped from above 40 cm if not using a bulky case. Mine vibrated itself off a low coffee table and onto hardwood floor, cracking three corners. Because of the curves, the cracked glass would fall off over the span of a few weeks, leaving razor sharp shards in my pockets. And don't get me started with the non-existent palm/grip rejection. It takes "you're holding it wrong" to a new level.
