So according to GSMArena, G5 has far superior camera than S7 Edge, http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g5_vs_samsung_galaxy_s7_low_light-review-1420.php
so much for f1.7 and larger pixels...
Well I have both phones and Samsung is better imho. Slightly faster as well in auto focus.
My major issues wth g5 are battery and build quality: the gap between the chassis and module is noticeable and doesn't inspire confidence.

Almost all low light shots of the g5 with lower shutter are blurring moving subjects .. the s7 faster shutter freezes moving subjects better.
The indoor pub image is waaaay better in the s7 ... medium lighting the g5 is a tad better.

hmm what would u choose as your daily camera? as far as i read on web, user comments and reviews, GS7 camera are superior than LG, but that review is a bit discouraging though idk how creditable is.
Okay let me temper my comments. Both cameras are excellent but I believe and think Samsung does have the edge no pun intended. I have noticed in a few shots on the LG the autofocus took slightly longer than the Samsung and though the megapixels are bigger on the LG, the Samsung pics still pick up lots of detail and seem to be much brighter and sharper. Honestly, they both are very close but again the build quality on the LG bothers me and I will never use a module.

OK I am now seeing the pattern and differences in captures: slightly overblown and washed out while samsung has a richer scape with depth. My top pic is the lg5 which you like but is a tad more blown out and slightly washed out giving the appearance of brightness as that painting stares at me more naturally like the second pic.
Your samsung cityscapes have more depth and richness to them; the LG though similar seems flat.

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
In those night shots the G5 is majorly overexposing the images. It's exposure algorithm is weight the dark areas too heavily, while the Samsung camera app is correctly exposing more for the highlights. To really compare the sensors, rather than the software, you'd need to equalize the exposures.
I was extremely satisfied with the S6 Camera and am hoping my S7E does even better when it finally arrives but this review is slightly worrying me. This is the first review I've seen where the G5 does a better job than the S7. In the end I'm expecting an improvement over my S6/G4 so we'll see how it goes once I receive the phone.

Pretty much the only thing I listen to for comparisons. This guy does the best job I've seen at producing the same images to compare, and the S7 crushes the G5 in low light. Pretty much bests the G5 in every test but the front facing camera, in the ice crema shot the G5 blurs the edges and in the lake shot the reflections are blurred. The video quality is also better in the S7, and of course, so is the focusing speed.

The article you link doesn't state anything like that.

Take a look at the cityscape 3rd picture at the humans in the bottom on both, it will tell you all.
Did anyone of you notice the sound quality of the cameras in the video recordings?
The S7 is so much better at capturing fine sound details. Especially in the first video the sound in the G5 is so heavy, like the ventilation system at the office. As soon as the G7 video starts it is like the ventilation turns off and you get the feeling of relief.
S7 and G5 are both wide angle
Wide angle can handle almost any shutter speed your hand can possibly handle without shaking
G5 can achieve slightly better low light quality using very low shutter speed thus achieved lower iso. slight shake and your shot is ruined
S7 has the ability to shoot in raw format and you can unlock many capabilities in a raw file such as adjusting noise (luminance), highlights, curve and lots more. You can even recover a overexposed photo to recover details in an overexpose image with a raw file while jpeg can't. So S7 is the victory in my case.

It's a 13MP camera, you're either doing something wrong or your camera is bad.

I agree with the poster, ive had many phones and by far the note 3 has the worst photo quality ever, im really dissapointed for a ~750 euro device to have such a bad camera. 13MP looks nice in the specs but numbers is not everything.
To me it looks like there is some kind compression on the image, maybe the firmware has some kind of compression method to keep the camera up to speed for zero shutter lag.
Hope samsung will look into this and give us an update in the camera firmware.

What do you expect? The camera has a 1/3" sensor, a FX SLR has ~28 times the sensor area. This means that you would need 28 times the light (or time) to shoot a photo with same quality.
This is not possible because in the conditions where your photo was shot you would need a tripod and long exposure (which is not useable on moving objects) to make a photo which has comparable quality like an outdoor picture!
Anyhow, I have the N3 for one day now and I am happy with it so far, especially with the better camera!

Well it does have to do with the megapixels because the more you have the less the typical blur will be visibly apparent as a result of movement, which seems to be the case here, whether that be movement by you or the subject.

It isnt blur, it's the denoise that samsung is using. This is a software issue, among other things obviously. Whether or not they fix it I have no idea.

Until manufacturers either quit trying to outdo each other with more megapixels on the same size sensor, lower the megapixels on the same size sensor (like HTC did with the One), or increase the sensor size (such as Apple just did with the 5s), low light photos are going to have more and more noise. The smaller the pixel, the less light it captures, which results in worse low light performance.
Here is the metadata for anyone interested .. It seems like the camera shot the picture in night mode

For the car stereo photo: The camera is metering for the bright screen. Try HDR, or using a flash. I'm currently on an ASOP rom so I can't recall if there is a way to change the metering mode, but try the others.

Sure you can: Center, Spot and Matrix.
For OP: Try Spot metering. You can also lock on the dashboard and then reframe on the radio display (you can lock exposure and focus, if I recall correctly, by holding the shutter button - but only if burst mode is disabled). But then you'll probably have the display overexposed.
OP I would agree with you, I'm far from impressed with the camera on this phone, I suppose some would say it's not the sort of phone for people who like taking photos and to choose a different phone. However coming from the Note 2, HTC One and Z1 all performed pretty well in lowlight conditions and were pretty quick at taking photos, this is pretty naff in lowlight even with the flash on as there seems to be too much of a delay with the shutter!
Today I took a couple of photo's in good light and I had to hold the phone still for like 3/4 secs otherwise my photo blurred like crazy! Either there is another setting I've turned on by mistake or its just this phone.
I'm glad I have a decent camera and don't really on this as my main camera....

I agree that the note 3 camera aint so bad. I actually feel that it takes better shots than an SLR in daylight conditions. For medium to low light, thats when the note 3 starts to lose it edge. I almost always have to resort to using flash, and evenso, if the subjects are far like more than a meter away, the flash just wont cut it.
Dont get me wrong though, I love my note 3. Its not like I take a lot of photos in medium and low lights.

It seems that way because the camera on the Note 3 (and most smartphones) oversaturates the picture. Makes the colours look all bright and shiny, and people like that.
It's when you zoom in past 20% actual-size preview that you start seeing the difference. (Unless you use one of those cheap pointless SLR's that sell for 100-300 quid. Those actually do take worse pictures.)
so seems like my front facing camera won't focus. it only has a set focus for whatever is in the background and will NOT focus on a face. it's absolutely awful. whatever is in the foreground is blurry and there's no options in the new Samsung cameras to adjust exposure or anything which also makes making some videos on the ffc suck. anyone else having this issue? my note 4 ffc was much better than this one. ugh.

I have the same problem with mine. I thought it was because of the beauty filter.
maybe it's just how this camera is. pardon my ugly mug, but here's a great example. notice it's focusing on the background. it honestly seems just like it's a problem where it's focusing on infinity rather than what's in foreground. maybe a software tweak can fix it? I really don't want to return the damn phone because of this...

The s6 when I'm closer to the camera is crisper than the s7 but when I hold my arm strait the s7 wins almost like it finds the sweet spot, the s6 behaves smilar but like i said more crisper up close.
Both cameras show the face detect cirkel.
Could be an issue with the new 3D beauty filter maybe? (And yes i have turn both down to zero)

sounds cool. the quality is WORSE in low light, and it's very oil painty looking, which i presume is the processing..however, they don't give you raw features for FFC..they don't even let you adjust exposure which pisses me off, bc i used my note 4 to record guitar videos for youtube, and the FFC looked fine on the note, but it's so overexposed on the s7 it sucks.
front facing cameras don't support auto focus, they have a Fixed-focus lens, & since the sensor is so small there is no bokeh(blur), so its focus distance is set to infinity, that's why it looks a bit blurred when you are too close to it

Thats because its has a very wide f/1.7 aperture, it will give some blur at very close distance, since its focus distance is set to infinity
the note was f1.9. not that big of a difference to create such a drastic difference in quality.

Tested two S7 and both was blurry and looked lika filter all over the picture.
Then i tested two S7 Edge and they was crisp sharp, better than my S6.
Both the S7 and the S7 edge had the same camera sensors. Forgot to check FW version but since it is the sames sensors in both the s7 and s7 edge it may be a FW diffense.
What is your FW version on the s7 edges front camera.
hmm very interesting! I wonder if it's a firmware issue then. why would the edge have a different firmware than the s7 though?

Looks pretty good. Can you post up so lowlight snaps?

Heres a low light pic of my daughters "Rare Shiny" Vaporeon.

I've been prepping for this thing to get into my hands by shooting in a few places that I usually find myself in, some being really low light. (Jazz clubs and art museums with fragile items.) I've shot in these spaces with every camera I've ever owned. (FF DSLR's on down to cellphones)

Lots of noise at the top of the photo! Eeek... I may be sending this phone back.

Up to you . Im going to keep mine and see if it gets rooted. If it doesn't... well, i might keep it quite a few month. after all i only paid 600+ for it, not 800+
I think that the problem relies on the ISO i was using. Let me show you all 3 pictures and zoom them in , you will see that the noise significantly diminishes .
Oh man. Looks like I need to get a case.
Camera on auto mode is AWFUL at any kind of action shots. In a CrossFit competition this weekend and the camera couldn't keep up at all and most shots are BLURRY. I ddn't go into manual mode cuz i figured the phone would keep up, wish i would have viewed the pics before. Disappointed big time with this.

Is there not a sports shot or action shot mode like in Samsung?

I looked in the modes after the fact and did not see one, may need to find an alternative cam app. Problem was I know exposure and all that but when competing i gave it to my husband to take pics., i could have made corrections shooting manual but honestly, didn't expect to have to do so.

I actually really like how that looks. It's got a quality I really like to work with. Once I actually get my phone in hand and start playing with it, I'll see if I have the same type of noise. If it's the same and I can figure out a workflow on mobile to recreate what I used to do with my old Nikon D80, I'll share the workflow to make that kind of noise work for you.

Check the last post on page number one. There you will see that the noise was reduced alot from left to right. The first one is the same one i posted first, the second and third i lowered the iso and adjusted the aperture. Now, remember, i was using manual mode, if it had been in automatically, maybe it would have adjusted everything itself and reduce the noise on its own.

I'm actually very keen to play with the noise generated off of this sensor. Something to note is that on the Nexus 6, engaging HDR in the Google Camera app cleaned up a lot of the noise from that sensor's files and made them quite usable so I'll be looking into that too. But yeah, if the noise has certain characteristics, it can make for some good photos.
A couple of shots of a photogenic spider from yesterday. Between Google's compression during upload, then redownloading and uploading to XDA only to be compressed again, I think they still look pretty good.
Anybody know how to embed links straight from Google Photos?
On action shots , did you use burst mode. The LG G5, LG G4 and V10 were brilliant using this method. Another option is record in 4K and then extract 8mp stills from the video.

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Samsung Galaxy S9+ come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
So far so good. Pictures do look pretty near-term however they're not perfect by a long shot.
Admittedly I've been spoilt as I was using a pixel 2 before this, and low light images were a lot sharper, but not as well lot as the s9.
I think there can be a lot of improvement between the 1.5/2.4 aperture settings in regards to software tweaks.
Another thing I'd like to see is a much better portrait mode. Images look so soft and lack finer details. Compared to my pixel 2... well there really isn't a comparison at this point.
One thing I've noticed samsung cameras always do, is brighten up the face of the person in the photo. If you've got brown skin colour it tends to make them look too pale. I've seen reviewers say it can make the person almost look a bit ill! This happened on my note 8 also, and knowing what I know about South East Asian culture, it wouldn't surprise me if this was as intended as South East Asians do like to look paler, using cosmetics, filters or skin bleaching. So is the pale face as intended?
Anyhow, I'd say the camera has huge potential. Samsung just needs to do a lot of tweaking as irrefutable all the right hardware is there.
A few shots from walkabout today, all on auto

Yes, photo quality is good.
If I should be honnest, I expected a little bit better camera quality when I saw DX score and more....But now when I compare photos from S9+ to my note8, the colors looks a lot more faded, the most noticeable is in interior...Hmm I hope that update will fix it (Exynos version). What do you think?
I made compare video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BADd5DvVoKM

There is no doubt on it overcomes iPhone. Great quality. Anyone should get it right now
I have shaky hands, and on Auto it's almost like there's no OIS. I get a lot of motion blur on things or blur in general. Sports mode fixes it, but it's really disappointing.

What kind of lighting were you shooting in?
Not impressed with the auto 2.4 to 1.5 aperture here in the UK at least, it doesn’t seem to understand what low light is
This photo is on 'auto'
And below where I had it manually set to 1.5

Normal daylight. Should have been a cinch.

The auto picture has a better dynamic range. Look at the window and you can see pictures outside but their airplane is a little dark
The whole picture looks dark
I did a S8+ (which I own) vs S9+ Camera quick comparison at my local shop... took some pictures in pro mode, same settings, same scene, both F1.5 and F2.4 for S9 (and of course fixed F1.7 for S8)...
S8 pictures are sharper (both RAW and JPEG) or better overall, with about the same noise... I am very disappointed.
You can download all the JPEG and RAW files: (RAW+JPEG files included): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dgyBwiPbO8tHVqsqZpiJ6aoZn5a-p4m-/view?usp=sharing
Any thoughts?
This is Mocha. Mocha is 14 this year and not the fasting moving dog anymore.
Here's three shots in auto mode with tracking AF on:

Here's three shots in sports mode:

This is awful. I mean, just ****ing awful. Coming from the V30 using the hacked GCam, this is major step down. Out of six shots I got one usable one.
If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here with Auto Mode, I'm all ears because I'm tempted to take this thing back.

Change phone
I think the camera quality is great overall..
But A small upgrade compares to note 8 not really camera reimagined
Olny issues i had are that some times photos are taken with low colors contrast then i fix them with auto color effect
But this are without fixing

So what? It's supposed to be. Your second picture is blowing out highlights and destroying tons of detail. The first picture might seem dimmer (especially compared to the second one), but it's preserving the details in all the areas of the photo. The 1.5 aperture is meant to cut down on noise and detail loss in very dark scenes, not create super bright images from moderately dim environments. It looks like the camera did exactly what it's supposed to do.
