Hi,
I was very surprised to find not one, but two S7 Edge phones available to play with at my local (albeit the biggest in my country) electronics store.
So I took a couple of store shots with the camera, if anyone is interested. Pictures are attached to this post. To me they look pretty good. Noise is very well controlled. Auto-focus was incredibly fast, I wish my Canon EOS M2 would be as fast as the Samsung.
cant wait to try this onmy family vacation to vegas
Those are some nice pics, wish they where rotated lol.
I'm going to town tomorrow to see if anywhere has one of these out on display. Would like to get a feel of one before mine is delivered next month.
I played with the edge camera at the Best Buy today and was very impressed.
I feel the best thing is that this thing is basically waterproof (30mins up to 5ft) which will result in some amazing underwater pics and videos!!

I have a very strong feeling that the lens is covered with the protective plastic. Its very easy to miss when peeling the phone. The pictures will look much better without it. Otherwise, I'm not really impressed with the pictures.

Probably not plastic that is covering the lens, but just good old regular fingerprints. Had similar issues when playing with the phones in the store, but after a good cleaning the pics were much better.
Why were you lying on the ground when you took them?
I quickly played with it as well at Best Buy, it was insanely fast! Photos looked good from my limited testing as well.

I am starting to believe that samsung made a huge drop back with the camera. It is a little odd all the user uploaded photos to have plastic cover or fingerprints. Do not try to look for excuses. Do you remember the first photos of galaxy s6 . They were all awesome. I have already pre order the galaxy s7 edge but I am thinking very seriously to cancel it. Also do you remember how fast we had camera comparisons with the s6. Now after so many days why we do not have a decent one. I will wait a few days until I see a s6 vs s7 comparison. But I am pretty sure my s6 camera will be superior.

If sammy "downgraded" the camera that would be idiotic step, they optimized it for all situations especially for low light, but that shouldn't make daylight photos worse in fact, due to large pixels it might be slightly better.
Either they have a bug with software or some of the models shipped with problematic sensors, we will find out between 8-14 March.

There are already comparisons between the S6 and S7 on here, and the S7 camera is better, and that is before post release updates which will improve it even further.

Check that thread for a number of comparisons between the S7 and other phones. It's the best of the lot.

heu it's what u see you??? Oo
I, i don't see the same on this pics: teddy bear => s6 wins, blurry face = dont' let s6 focus = normal, faces = better light s6, two ladies =>yellow filter in s7, ...
No really it's THE comparison that prove s6 is better...
If that's what you really believe you clearly have it set in your head despite evidence to the contrary. There might be some situations prior to post-release S7 updates that the S6 takes marginally better photos with both phones in auto mode (bright outdoor scenes for example), but certainly not indoors. However, I have no doubt any issues with auto mode in bright scenes on the S7 will be rectified soon enough.
Stick with the S6 would be my advice.

Plastic cover? What plastic cover? The glass of the S6 was a huge fingerprint magnet too, it's the con of using glass. That's why I went with silver, it's not as noticeable

Some photos I took
Here are some photos I took on my S7 Edge.
The dark bathroom photos = Note 5 (auto)
The lighter bathroom photos = S7 (auto)
The two darker ones are the light from under the door only, brighter ones is just the door cracked
The outside photos are from darkest to lightest (auto, manual 10sec shutter lower ISO, manual 10 sec shutter highest ISO)
Pics of my dog in pretty bad lighting, just a side lamp and some light from the window (auto)
Pics of the figures are in pretty good light (auto)
Since XDA compresses them, look here for the uncompressed versions.

Also, here is a 240fps slowmo I took of the sink - https://goo.gl/photos/8L4ZpJDPCSq2kQKh7
Edit: I'm not sure why xda uploads some sideways. Sorry about that.
Not very good... when you see even the dog pictures: noise everywhere and when we zoom, we don't see clearly the hair in the fur...
http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/feature-samsung-galaxy-s7-vs-galaxy-s6-who-takes-better-photos
After days of waiting, we finally have another detailed camera review. While the article does not go into pixel peeping depth, it gives a good idea of how the camera perform against its predecessor. It seems like the s7 handles contrasts and low light( of course) much better.
Hopefully will bring peace to people worried about S7 camera underperforming...
Interesting and thanks for the link. Seems to be very competent camera.

Thanks for the link. I think I'm convinced the S7 is better in low light. The concern is whether it's taken a sacrifice in brighter conditions - would be good to see some daylight photos from people getting their phones this week
This really should quieten down the people claiming the S6 has a better camera, and that Samsung have taken a step backwards. The outdoor contrast and street at night pictures in particular were hilariously one-sided.
In my opinion S6 has the advantage , In day time, S6 photos is obvious better than s7 with more vivid colors. During sunset and night , the photos is almost identical with only iexception the night street scene ,which s7 was better.
I would like to see a real life comporison too , because most of us , we usually take photos of our friends and not static buildings in the night.

One of us may need to calibrate our displays, because the S7 has a clear advantage to me. I notice a lot of the reds on the S6 seem to wash out and look pink (like the pic looking up the steps with the red box on the side).
I dunno, I think I'd rather go with the S6 and it's 4 megapixel advantage.
You need to read up on why that isn't necessarily an advantage when it comes to quality of image.

Don't worry, I did that many moons ago.
For what mobile phone cameras are used for, the difference between 16mpx and 12 mpx is nothing. That extra 4pmx has no practical advantage bar the aspect ratio. I'd sooner have an increase in quality and a reduction in size.

Obviously you didn't bother reading the author's notes. In almost all cases they noted that the S7 was producing more accurate colors, and the S6 was producing tones that were not true to what the scene actually looked like.
If your idea of a superior camera is one which produces overly saturated images at the expense of color accuracy (similar to the issue samsung's older AMOLED displays had), then stick with the S6.
For the rest of us, accuracy is the sign of a better camera. Saturation can easily be adjusted to taste in post (especially with the S7's raw support). It's much harder to fix incorrect colors after the fact going off of memory. The S6 also struggled in high-constrast scenes. There were several instances where certain parts of the image were blown out because the S6 couldn't keep up with the wide range of the scene.

I didn't see much of an increase in quality in the samples provided. I guess I'll see when my S7 comes in
Meh, S6 has more detail in daylight.

So when you look at photos 6 and 9 for example you don't see a quality difference. OK.
There seems to be a slight difference between the two. With the S7 just barely edging out the S6... The camera should not be the big reason to get the S7 (even though i am getting the S7)...
I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD_2udbnsLg and it looks like slow motion video is also better... I noticed on my S6 when i do slow motion, the scene become much darker, the S7 doesnt seem to have that issue...

This +1. My S7E should be here tomorrow also.
My personal opinion and this applies only to me so your mileage may vary - The S6 camera is beyond fantastic, I regularly have amateur photographer friends who ask me what camera I use because my images are excellent (I have an S6E). So, If even if the S7 camera was the *same* as the S6, the S7 is a winner, considering ALL the other improvements they made to the phone. I was worried they would take a step backwards with the slim camera module, and I wasn't really expecting any major camera improvements. But it does seem the S7 camera is slightly better than the S6, which in my mind is a bonus.
And keep in mind all this is before software updates. If you remember the early S6 days, there were 2 if not 3 software updates within the first few months that all had slight camera improvements. I remember there was an update even when I first powered on the phone from tmobile.

That's generally those that have the S6 either in contract and cannot yet upgrade and therefore find their own ways to bash it. Happens all the time with new flagships.
Some even pretend they are getting the S7 to try and validate their claim. Very sad in my opinion.

agree the "slightly better" come too much in this review... especially with this kind of px drop (16 => 12)
To be honest if the S7 camera is just as good as the S6 I'm golden. I actually don't take too many pictures right now.
Every single one of them looks a little better to me in varying degrees.
Hello all!
Here is my comparison test between S7 Edge and the S5 in the night comparison (completly dark).
The S7 Edge is using Isocell sensor. And the results are awesome!
Leave my comments here, what do you think about that!
https://youtu.be/A-aHbMwLbjs
Galaxy S5 is still got good camera. IF YOUR looking for a bargain
In my opinion, the S7 Edge is a lot of better. I think, that videos will be in 80% the same (because S5 have good lowlight manage too, isocel sensor and more...), but when I saw the results (how you can see on my video) I stay amazed! I don't think that differences between this two phones can be so big.
Got a new s8+ and the camera doesnt seem up to par. I took a picture of a can on it as wwll as my note 4. Zoomed in and its much clearer on my note 4. Pics just seem blurry on it too. Even where focused. Any ideas?
Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did
The zoom function is not a good example for comparison between cameras. Neither is the amount of megapixel, of which apparently they decided to keep it at 12mp. for the time being.
So if you want more mp, and better photos, then get a professional camera.
As for reviews from reputable sites, those claim the s8 and up are better than their predecessors.

Point taken.
But in all fairness, topic title is misleading.
Should be something like regret of selling s6 for s8. Or camera s6 better than s8.

The problem is I am not a camera phone fanatic.
And coming from a op5 who has supposedly has an even worse camera and I do not see the difference.
Having that said you are ranting other people to not buy a phone because you have issues with one part of the s8(+) that is why I think topics like this should not exist.
A phone does have other things than a camera you do know that. Wanting wordclass foto's and then trying to shoot them with a smartphone
i have both and and its not true i stil have both phone and my s8 plus has way better camera than my s6 specially in low light low light pictures have lots of nois in s6 and even day light pictures s8 takes better picture when how many times you going to zoom a picture more mega pixel doesn't mean a good camera .

So how do You explain my 1000 pics expermenting S6E+ vs. the new Galaxy S devices? I did it from the emerge od S7 till the launch of S9/S9+
The purpose of this post was to warn all of ppl that DO want to use only smartfion to take pics.
I have no agenda against S8. I just know that a lot of ppl are massivly abandoning S6 cause they think that cam will be significntly better on a newer Galaxy. Out of my good heart I want to spare them the dissapointment.
Like I said if a person wants to change S6 only for pics quality reason they should buy nothing less than S9+ otherwise they will be sadly dissapointed.
You are a very bad android boy for posting this :3

I can agree with this statement. As a current ow er of an s6 edge+ I can say photo quality is lacking compared to my sister's s7 and my friend's s8. That 4 Megapixel count really doesn't make a difference when it comes to smartphone photography.
Cool thanks for that, I'll sleep better tonight

During years with my 1000 photos taken by S6EPlus from launch od S7 till launch of S9/S9+ I did it for myself cause Samsung kept on saying that that the photo quality is better in good light than previous S models. So I went to the electronics shop. I one hand I had my phone and in the other the newer Galscy version. I joined hands, pointed forward in the same linear direction and I have taken a photo with both (same options on both, for example HDR). Then I opened in both phones the gallery and I looked very intesnly with no zoom and with zoom whsat the quality was.. the S6EPlus won with all but not with S9+. But I did not have the photos from these other models troughout the years cause I was doing it for my self to check my theory that Samsung will be lying about much camera improvment.
Hence no photos. I wasnt planing then to warn everybody. I myself wanted to buy S7E and all the next phones cause I beleived that maybe the next and next model with have a batter cam. I waited 3 years, 3 generations till the emerge of S9+ that I can truely say that in good light S9+ makes better photos than my S6E+. I was planning to buy it but I didnt have enough money
This is stupid and your S6 is a crappy, obsolete phone. I'm sorry.
