JK not a lot in Photoshop: levels to give a tad more contrast and USM Sharpening a modest amount to bring up fine detail.

So I repeated the image with the D610 + 28-70 2.8

I think the phone did a better job of balancing the outside exposure but the d610 is a nicer image on the inside elements  - both images are without any post - straight from camera

Both prints at A4 are very similar, but the detail outside and on the windowsill is lost on the d610 version and there are some vertical stripes which don't appear on the printed phone image?

Sounds like the Samsung is breaking new ground.:thumbs:

It’s clearly doing a better job of controlling highlights & shadows (ie expanding dynamic range) within the phone, so it is doing some auto processing in the background. Whereas that needs to be done manually afterwards with a DSLR.

I agree with Eric but if you are out for a walk my iPhone SE does a half-reasonable job, if it is all you have with you, of a landscape both these images scored well in my local camera club comps.

I like the first photo best as there’s a bit more interest. And THAT is the point with iPhone images….well ….actually all images!

If you fill the frame with interesting detail, the eye is more forgiving. 

I don’t hear the hiss on my speakers if the music is good and loud…..but its still there, if I stop listening to the music and listen to the noise.

I wonder how some of these phone pics would be if something like Topaz Gigapixel was used to upscale it.

As I only run Linux, I can't find out!

I think the mushiness is down to the small pixel area so a bit of Gigapixel might help.
Graham's images passed through Photoshop certainly look improved, compared to my iphone images.

Looking at Chris' picture there is much increased dynamic range which is very good.
The outside in full sunshine through to the dog all have detail.  I wonder if there isnt a bit of HDR going on in camera.
Apple seem to be a bit behind Samsung and Google with implementing AI in camera.
The Google Pixel phone adverts on TV show removal of items on photo which is very attractive to casual users.

I suspect there is some highlight/shadow adjustment in camera, to dodge and burn in.

And why not? It’s what we would do manually in Photoshop where highlights are being lost and shadows blocked out.

As photographers we have long shied away from using Program mode or Subject modes, and resisted JPEGs in favour of raw, preferring to take total control ourselves

In some ways these were the precursors for what we are now seeing in phones, but in addition to basic camera setting selection, programmers have now added in camera some of the post editing adjustment we would make.

The question has always been ….how much does the camera programmer know about OUR final required appearance for the photo? Can they best guess, by using AI learning of the perfect lighting, sharpness and detail WHAT the photographer intended?

I am sure as our grip on manual control is loosened, we more readily accept the image provided by the phone.

The next question is…when they add this level of sophistication to dslr/mirrorless cameras, will we still ‘bother’ to reach for Photoshop or will we accept the result out of the camera?….just like we HAD to do before digital cameras and without a darkroom to help.

Yes - the more I learn about the Samsung the more I am impressed with it - HDR can be turned off and many manual image edits done in camera.

Their "intelligent optimisation" can be set to max, medium and minimum and it also has a "scene optimiser" that controls colour and contrast - I have not tried that one yet! It also has face focus tracking and can take HEIF and RAW pics.

I have also just acquired a used Sony FS5 video cam - now that one is sophisticated and has a 14 stops of exposure latitude and a variable ND filter to help control depth of field - more play time!

Yes it can, but one of the key uses of the ND filter on video cameras is to reduce bright light reaching the sensor as they don’t have the same latitude to stop down the aperture that still cameras have. They can easily over expose the footage in sunny weather…..so I have read.
Not sure in low light uk we would have that problem though. lol
Graham should be able to explain the whys.


I can see a new forum name “Originally Nikon ….now incorporating Sony, Canon, Olympus….and Samsung phones”
