- How does the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's 200 megapixel camera stack up against a 100 megapixel medium format camera? In this video we compare the image quality produced by these cameras and find out just how good the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra can be compared to a professional camera. We compare some side by side images in Lightroom and I give my thoughts on how these two cameras perform.

Just the fact that a phone is being compared to a $6000 camera, and not doing to bad, is outstanding. A phone could never replace professional equipment. Put for the average person to point and shoot, or just start out in photography, it is amazing.
never say never. These phones are getting scary close. Meanwhile AI is making incredible strides in producing professional quality photos from scratch, so it’s only a matter of time before the ability to exactly mimick the quality of a GFX100s is ported to your smartphone. I give it 5 years as the rate of AI growth is exponential.
Never say never.... They get better every year
@lenglain AI imaging processes can be applied to other cameras besides smartphones. It's just that smartphones must rely on AI heavily because without it the images tend to look really bad
@@lenglainand real camera systems getting better every year too just depends how important are your memories dslr and mirrorless will always be ahead!companies wanna sell cameras too
@@lenglain but the optics have its phisical edges, like difraction and thats the point, why have 100mpix photos more details like 200mpx, because the size of the lens
While a $6K camera beating a smartphone isn't a shocker, I'd love to see how it does against a $1K camera.
It would still loose in photography. 200MP but it hat the resolution of a 50mp. It should be compared to a 25MP camera.
Canon T3i 18 mg pixels and 70-200 f4 lens would beat my s22 ultra all day long ,I just couldn't call anyone from my T3i to tell them
@@dandesjardins2552 The s23 Ultra has a much better camera compared to a s22 ultra and a SIGNIFICANTLY upgraded processor.
@@danh1060 ngl my eso250D shots are sometimes worse than s23U but that only counts in day if i compare it with 200mpx if its in night its getting more noise in phone but if u use pro mode and 12=50mpx than on some shots s23U got a nice shots that looks a way better than eos
even my 24mp camera yould beat this, bg differnece in sensor size
Well, for $6000 Fuji can't make a call and fit in a pocket. The pictures are better when 100% zoom is enabled. But the quality is not 6 times better. So the winner is.... a person who owns both these devices😁
Haha nice
Without zoom photos taken with s22 Ultra looks better
@@isaac.genesis of course theya re ready to share no need to edit them.. ai takes the win again
@@isaac.genesisbrainless man
For a phone, what it can do is outstanding. Most people won't zoom in that far to pixel peep. Great video! I love Fuji photography.
You are right.. that what i was thinking while watching this video...
If you go for tele motivs like birds everyone becomes a pixie
- $6000 medium format camera vs 1.13" camera module inside a $1200 smartphone
- 102Mpx with 3.1 micron pixels vs 200Mpx with 0.6 micron pixels
- large, professionally polished and multiple coated glass lens elements vs small plastic lens elements
In conclusion, the S23U is doing a tremendous job despite having a way smaller sensor and also weaker optical performance due to the in-built plastic lens elements. Just imagine how good their 200Mpx sensor could perform if it had proper glass elements in front of it! Also, I wonder what the comparison would've looked like if ZJ used GCam instead as the stock camera app tends to overprocess images into oblivion.
for flagship devices in think stock camera performs better than Gcam. Because flagship devices are well optimized. But for the budget phones the scenario is different
Wtf gcam
The flagships don't need that the normal cam is better
LOL IDIOTS LOGIC HERE. THOSE ARE ALL THE REASONS WHY ITS SHITTIER LOL
I don't know how other people feel about it, but as long as you don't zoom in, I actually like the pictures from the Galaxy better. The colors and contrasts just look more pleasing to my eyes. So, considering that most people just upload their photos on Instagram or Facebook, I would say that the smartphone is the better choice for the majority of people.
Well phone cameras add automatically saturation & contrast to photos to make them look more vibrant. Professional cameras produce neutral images that are more suitable for post-processing in RAW and professionals.
Congrats, you explained why smartphones are the way they are.
The majority doesn't need proper, expensive cameras either. Who would've thought man.
that's the thing, lots of people just think more saturation = better
Yes…… smartphones took this into consideration
The camera phone has been tuned to the camera phone clientele which tends to prefer over-processed, high contrast subjects with little or no shadow detail. In other words, the photos have "pop" but for landscape photography, a more subtle approach works much better for me; it does not need to pop, it needs to be realistic.
This is also what distinguishes Canon (pop) from Nikon (accuracy); although either can be tuned to mimic the other.
Just remember: the best shot is the one you take vs the one you would've taken if you had the camera with you. So for me the smartphone wins, having the camera all the time on me and capturing everything I run into, is far better and Samsung is doing a great job offering such a great quality in such a small factor camera set.
This is absolutely true. As someone who shoots with a gfx, I feel i have to justify the crazy expense and bulk of the gfx platform. Smartphone cameras are great for what the vast majority of people want/need. It's awesome to always have something in your pocket that can take good photos.
@@Fluxion11 dang i never seen it that way before thanks im gonna upgrade to be on safe side
@@Fluxion11 if so, will cameras go extinct?
@@GungKrisna12 nahh... events, weddings, family photos, sports, it will never go extinct. Pro camera is an essential
Good comparison, thanks!
S23 Ultra has insanely good photos if taken into account how small are its optics and sensor. I tested and downsized its 200MP pics to 24MP (for ordinary users it will be always enough) - fantastic results. Yeah, if one starts pixel peeping 200MP photos, of course the quality isn't the same as from full-frame cameras.
Which tool do you use for downsizing?
Yes, the S23 is not bad at all. But this comparison shows that the 200 MP value has nothing to do with image quality, just a marketing number.
@@baranzo73 Of course it has to do with quality, compare the 12 mpx of all current smartphones with a 200 mpx smartphone, the quality is much better and allows you to see more details, zoom in closer, etc., it's not just marketing, the 12 mpx of a smartphone cannot offer the same quality as 200 mpx on a smartphone, a ceiling has been reached, that's why the mpx are increasing. Now if you compare it with professional cameras with larger sensors of the same or less mpx, there is another story. Smartphones are reaching this far and every year they allow us to see more details, you can't ask for much, its size is very small compared to a professional camera. It is what it is right now.
Whats amazing is that the Fuji is a mdium format sensor ...
@@juanaaronvilapichler2893 It's been proven time and time again that a bullcrap 200mp and a 12mp smartphone shot have the exact same level of detail.
I had a smartphone that was capable of 64mp shots and it loses to my current 12mp smartphone in terms of detail. Sure the processing and AIs make it smoother and essentially trick you with thinner processing capabilities but it's the same damn thing. Compare using RAWS if you want lmao.
Plus, we've not reached the end. Sony just revealed a stacked mobile CMOS sensor that reduces noise drastically, which helps a ton when trying to resolve detail. Not to mention the sensor size increasing. We can go beyond 1-inch despite what people might tell you, you just need clever engineering.
Plus, the s23 ultra doesn't even have a 1-inch.
In short, yes it is all marketing and it offers you no more detail for triple the file size of your shots. Go ahead and create huge prints using s23 200mp shots and see if you'll appreciate seeing big blurry, smoothed-out areas vs seeing the pixels that aren't smooth on a 12mp shot lmao.
Great job for doing this amazing photo comparison between the camera and S23 camera 📷 👏
Thanks! :)
Phone photos have a lot of artifacts. I can always notice them when there is clutter in the image. Camera photos are optically pristine. There is no comparison no matter how many lenses you have.
I think these days people expect phones to be superior cameras especially people who never grew up during a time cameras were common. A phone camera was a fun add-on to the first cellphones that were able to have them. But now a phone camera is expected to be fantastic. Samsung, Apple, and Google can throw megapixels around but the lens and sensor size can't be faked.
Great video and a fantastic scene to have this comparison. Perfect video, good job.
Got a S23U for myself and have been impressed with the improvements. Can definitely see it's not a patch on a normal camera, but for a phone, it's pretty good. Been very impressed with the video quality though.
The downside of most point and shoot and DSLR is the video....
@@mayaiconpack Yes. My S22 (not even ultra) blows the video away from my Canon 5dM3. I've relegated my Canon 5dm3 to wildlife and use my S22 for everything else (not doing any pro portrait stuff anyway). So nice to have a nice small package and combine it with a stabilizer it's fantastic. Good sound too.
@Keith Wiebe I'm a samsung guy but tbh video is only good for close ups. The rest is very crappy. Records in low bitrate and with the crappy processing it has makes some things oversharpened and fuzzy.
That's why I use an app called Motion Cam. You would need a lot of space but it records RAW Video and takes better raw images than samsungs stock app.
Been very impressed with the video quality though of course the galaxy s20 21 and 22 all had horible video
8k night videos with s23u ❤...
thanks for the video! Undoubtedly the Fujifilm is much better, but let's be honest here the fact that we are even comparing a phone to a 100 megapixel plus medium format professional camera is absolutely unbelievable! Five years ago, this would have been a pipe, dream, 10 years ago this would have been a complete impossibility, and before that people would be saying this could never happen! I find these images extraordinary and just think, imagine that the sensor on this Samsung was actually the same size as in the Fujifilm! What kind of detail and resolution and quality would we be talking about now? Just to wait a couple more years, mobile phones will eat everything and everyone in the photographic industry. This is an astonishing comparison, it only makes me feel more clear about how good this phone is and where we are heading. It is unbelievable that we have already come so far and this is just a start. Medium format, full frame, crop sensor, any camera, they are all dying dinosaurs, mobile phones will eat everything.
I will say even more to go with your idea
with this S23ultra, which has not yet been updated, or not optimized with Gcam, how many cameras are on the sidelines!
@@clissonplage S28U will probably match this Fujiifilm
@@apothecy4011 lol not in a thousand
That Fujifilm has been handicapped so the phone will stand a chance, one you shoot raw or motion pics u realize why professionals don’t use smart phones for work.
phone has problems with big zoom
The fact that there are even videos comparing phones to DSLR cameras shows you how far technology has come
A very interesting comparison. Thank you!👌👍
Thank you so much for this comparation. Helps a lot.. :)
Nice comparison video ❤
Great video! Interesting comparisons!
forget the gadgets im very much impressed by the work youve done continue doing it man..i subscribed
The pictures look crisp on the professional camera only because it has a larger sensor...
The Samsung galaxy s23 ultra is a smart phone with a smaller sensor...
As we've heard before megapixels don't mean anything if the camera sensor is smaller
Well, megapixels do mean something to people who don't know about photography. First thing a seller will point out is the megapixels the phone camera has, and that will often impress some people
Por eso el telefono tiene el doble de MP ..200
Very informative, thanks a lot!
Thanks for a very interesting video. The Fujifilm definitely captures significantly better detail, but the Samsung does a really impressive job achieving its goal - great looking pictures for everyday users. There is plenty of processing going on with the color, exposure, etc. to make the pictures look vibrant and lively for the user that isn't interest in doing any post-processing on their own. The professional camera certainly still has a place, but who'd have ever thought you could get results like this from a phone a generation or two ago.
i love your videos and your location is absolutely amazing
Very Interressant comparaison. Thank You.
Dude. The view of the opening scene is breathe taking!
Very Useful Video. Proves that some people live in their own bubble in relation to their claims about their Samsung phone. Thanks to you
😇
I think it is possible to make the samsung photos a bit more detailed by editing them. But of course, there is a huge difference in quality, it is easy to see. Thanks for this great video, love it. 👌
The problem is that the software of smartphones already modifies the photo (sharpening, denoising, boosting colors, straightening, etc.) that the photo is mush. There's almost nothing left to do. And some AI or other wonders of wreaths will artificially transform the photo. It has nothing to do with the photographed object. The image should look good on the smartphone screen. Print and you will see compression, lack of detail, sharpening, blurring and unnatural colors. If it were otherwise, no one would carry a full-size optics with a camera, just bought a smartphone and shot photos or videos, and a photo studio would be a selfie with a smartphone.
@mirogor5333 ye, u would need to shoot RAW on the phones and use the cam assist app to turn off the softening
Nice comparison, thank you! Could the soft 200MP look sharp if resized to 25MP, i.e. 8 pixels into 1? Would be interesting to see a decent 24MP camera, say, Sony A7 III, compared to downsized 8:1 pics from S23 Ultra.
megapixels are not the only variable in the equations, even if the full frame or a 4/3rds sensor has less megapixels, the size of the pixels will be bigger and usually result in better quality when pixel peeping. Phone cameras have a lot of shortcomings like very small sensors and very poor lens optics so it will still lose against a lot of mediocre cameras with a mediocre lens combos when pixel peeping.
That being said though, 99.9% of people don't ever pixel peep images so a phone being able to even compete with a 6000$ camera is amazing considering the goals of a phone is making it as portable and painless to use as humanly possible
2 things what i wanna mention: the lens elements in the Fuji lens are several orders of magnitude larger. Which in turn means: Samsung has waaaaaay less room for errors in making the lens elements (have to be way WAY more precise) to even attempt feeding a 200MP image sensor. Oh and in case you didnt know: most smartphone cameras use plastic lenses instead of glass. High quality glass is way more translucent and pure than the very best plastic....)
Add that to the 2nd really big factor: Pixel density. The Samsung has a pixel size (according to the website of the ISOCELL HP2 Sensor) of 0.6 micrometers, while each pixel in the Fuji are 6.3 times larger at 3.8 micrometers. (i'd say the difference is even bigger, but lets keep rolling with what i was able to find) So the importance of the precission in lens manufacturing must be scaled by that factor.
how much larger are the lens elements in the Fuji? i'd say at least a factor of 10. so 10 times harder on the lenses and 6.3 times because of the small pixels...
Lets say samsung has a 60x harder time to feed every pixel with enough information. (and we are not even touching light gathering ability here, only theoretical resolving power)
Let this sink in, and then appreciate what Samsung is delivering here... i will keep shooting with my Fuji X-H2 for important stuff, and my trusty pixel for snapshots ^^
I like your observations.
@@RobertBelaNagy I'd say it's common sense 😅
agree bro... you have professional knowledge...
Yes , all about the lens . I have a Sony RX10 Mk3 , 20mp , the lens is huge at 50mm . I also have a phone with a 16mp camera so not a huge difference but it can not compete with the Sony . The phone takes good enough photos when out and about but the Sony just gathers so much light . At dusk you look through it and it looks more like full daylight
wrong, apple and samsung use Safire.
It seems like S23 is focused on dynamic colors and brighter image at the expense of detail
1 shoot and ready share on social media, I think that's a simple. Nice one Samsung 👍
@@mas.cimenks Yes, social media is the perfect place for photos or videos from your phone. Details are still not visible because the screen is only a few inches. And hence millions of photos on insta or Facebook and the quality on a small device is ok.
I think a comparison with something around the same price range (camera and phone) would be interesting too.
Yeah that’s a good idea… would be interesting
i vouch for this idea aswell
@@ZJMichaels I would love so much to see such comparison of something closer to proce range
@@ZJMichaels please, go with this comparison
@@ZJMichaels yeah...also, I would love to see a print test comparison between the Samsung and Fuji...2 samples, a small print and a larger print.
Wow 😯. Thank you for your ❤️
Thank you for this! Was all hyped up about trading in my S22 Ultra for the S23 Ultra because of the photo res. Not so much after this. Thanks.
awesome sir😍😍
You also have to ask yourself the question: what pictures do I want in my holiday album? I think it's the Samsung that wins that battle?
Beautiful photo ❤ Great video
Thanks! Much appreciated :)
Would be interesting to see how the 50mp pro/raw stands up to 200mp auto mode.
The RAW is just outstanding
I wonder what's the average file size for both cameras here. Samsung is applying super strong jpg compression since the S20 series. You need to use 3rd party apps to be able to set jpg compression to 95 or 100% and though it only works with 12mpx pictures, there is a huge difference in quality.
What apps do you need?
What app Stephan ? 😅
I would be interested to see how the lower megapixel setting would look on the S23 ultra given that you can actually shoot in raw with it. I'd imagine the 200 megapixel setting has to do a ton of behind the scenes processing to come out with the quality it does. For a camera on a phone it seems very good considering I don't always want to carry my Canon around with me.
impressive for the sensor size. regardless of pixel count sensor size make it much easier to collect detail [unless focus plane becomes too thin]
Most definitely. It is pretty amazing for such a small sensor. Phone cameras have definitely come a long way over the years…
Great and true comparison👍👍.small sensor vs big sensor..anyway,samsung 23u is oustanding performance and its top picture quality for a smartphone at this moment i guest.
Great Comparison!
Daim, the fact that a camera the size of the shutter button on the Fugi can even get close is impressive, the size difference is the part that amazes me the most, that phone camera module is tiny in comparison 🤯
You've just inspired me to bypass mirrorless 35mm and go straight to medium format digital from DSLR.
My favorite photography is old black & white film photography from pre-digital days, particularly street photography (mostly shot on Leicas loaded with Kodak Tri-X). If your priority is sheer resolution, _both_ these machines are a bazillion times better! But for sheer character and mood, each person has to judge photos according to their own tastes. The average person isn't that moved by razor sharpness. These days it's _much_ harder to find an interesting, aesthetically compelling photo than a super sharp one.
"The average person isn't that moved by razor sharpness"
I am not average. I want water to look wet; and that means NO visible grain or noise on the surface. Other things can tolerate a bit of noise and in fact a bit of noise might be necessary to avoid conspicuous banding in the sky.
Saw your iPhone14 Pro vs DSLR and just now the Samsung 23U vs DSLR. Excellent reviews, I might say.
What's left of the trifecta ? Pixel 7 Pro vs DSLR , right ?
So many smartphones to review... such little time :)
Excellent test sir
Thanks!
Great review. I am a photographer, but I am not a reviewer. With that said, I would like to see someone compare the "cooked" jpegs from a pro camera to the top cellphone cameras. I believe that this would be a better comparison because cellphones really, really, cook the images before we see them. Just a thought.
I am going to a germany trip next month and tought i try making a little documentary with just the 23 ultra as a camera, i am excited.
Wow. Up until now I've been proud of my S23 Ultra. I do also understand that this is a dedicated camera vs a smartphone camera. That detail was extremely sharp on the actual camera. What size is the sensor on it? Great video.
"Utilizing a large and exceedingly high 102MP resolution 43.8 x 32.9mm BSI CMOS sensor and X-Processor 4, the GFX 100S is capable of delivering 16-bit stills with wide dynamic range as well as a broad sensitivity range of ISO 100-12800,"
You can use the s pen to be the remote shutter. I find it quite useful if im using tripod or too impatience to wait for the timer
Did you have Scene optimizer on?
Landscape photography is probably one of the few things where a phone can be compared to an actual camera. If you are an actual photographer and have an image in mind when you see a scene, it's probably better to get a camera. It is also more fun to shoot with a camera than a phone.
Pretty good for Samsung comparing to that camera. As an owner of S23 ultra i feel good
I like the phones features more than anything like tracking that's as useful to me as 200MP. Or even more so since 200MP pics at about 20MB each can really fill up storage fast. I have the 512GB I would have like the 1TB but it was just too much! But really a modern phone's versatility outweighs any one unique feature.
@@dg-hughes If the phone meets your requirements, it's ok and it's good that they exist and I use them sometimes, but unfortunately the customer will not pay for soapy photos or videos even in 12k as the details will be at the level of a VHS tape. A huge amount of processing, smoothing, modifying, sharpening, coloring, etc. by the phone software looks good on a small phone screen, and then when printing even in A4, the image only goes to the trash.
Samsung camera got a firmware update which significantly enhanced the details. Would be interesting to do a comparison again
I have a request, Can you please compare the 48mp on iphone vs the 200mp on s23 ultra vs the 100mp on Fujifilm GFX 100s
Thx you so much
The thing I noticed is that the Samsung had low contrast as well as a lower resolution lens. These affected it mostly and the other thing would be its colour accuracy which seemed to be enhanced and not natural. André in Sydney
Amazing. GREAT.
So I tried this S23 Ultra vs Note 10 plus and Canon Eos R. There is no doubt that the Eos R was always better. But what surprised me with the comparison with the Note 10 plus. When you zoom in, it's almost the same coloring book. I also tried the 50 Mpx RAW Expert. When using RAW Expert, there is more detail, but always after 50-100% zoom, the photo is without detail. Personally, I expected a lot more from the S23 Ultra. Let's hope that Samsung will improve it thanks to the new SW.
There's a problem with tiny pixels. Okay, a couple of problems. One is the wavelength of light; you start to get serious diffraction problems so you simply cannot keep slicing pixels. You CAN but you will never ever get a single point of light (a star, for instance) to focus on a single sensor pixel. My Nikon D850 can do that; but all predecessors could not. Most cameras simply cannot confine the image of a bright pixel to only that one pixel. They bleed all over the place. Physically larger pixels have less of this problem.
As others have suggested, if you down-sample the file, 1/4 size (1/2 dimension each way), this effectively removes the Bayer filter effect and most of the pixel-to-pixel bleed and reduces diffraction effects. That's the effective, usable megapixels.
The pro camera doesn't need this downsampling so the EFFECTIVE megapixels of a larger sensor are naturally much higher.
Can you make comparison with fuji aps-c cameras?
Could you please try agc gcam with 3x upscaling on the S23U ? I got much better results on a Redmi phone compared to S23U which has better sensor
Very nice!
can u please test the Hasselblad H6D-400C? would be a cool video and compare it to this $6000 camera
How much does the lens on the fuji effect these results though?
GFX 100S rocks! 🤩But yes... For being a phone with a tiny camera attached to it I think we can all say the the Samsung rocks too 👌
Thanks for a good video that shows that its not only the MEGAPIXELS that do the image 🙏
what resolution the phone shoot in RAW? Because sometimes they have smaller resolution and just digitally enlarges and sharpens for JPEG. 200MPx Samsung looks like its really 20MPx camera that upscales JPEG to 200MPx with some advanced upscale algorithms
Nice video! I am a little bit jealous on the scenery that you can film your UA-cam video's 😂
Thanks! Yeah I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful area
I doubt we will see any pros shooting sporting events or wildlife with a cell phone camera anytime soon. The wide angle cell phone shots on a tripod are definitely good enough for sharing on instagram though.
Ya I’m w you on that… though it would be kinda funny to see a bunch of pro photographers all shooting with phones at the Olympics or something ha
@@ZJMichaels put the phone behind good binoculars like the Swarovski NL pure 12x42s and you will be surprised. You need a lot of light with this setup but it is pretty amazing for what it is.
@@RedShiftedDollar With lots of light and a potato, you can take a good picture.
Muito bom o vídeo...
Thanks for this comparison. In my opinion a 200MP camera on a phone is just for marketing reasons and your comparison has proved me right. Also the colour accuracy of this phone is really bad. The coniferous trees are too greenish and look almost like deciduous trees. Still for people who prefer a nice camera in a smartphone it's great!
I'll have to disagree, my S8 12mp, s22U 108mp, and the s23U 200mp all are huge jumps. Such a small camera won't beat a professional one, but the higher resolution is far from just marketing, and but a 12mp pro camera will beat a 12mp phone any day, a 50mp camera a 50mp phone.. but a 200mp phone beats a 50mp phone, (but a larger sensor on the samsung would help its case)
I hoped until the end u edit the photos to show us the dinamic range and the limits of the s23 raw files
I would be interested to see this comparison with the Lightroom Super Resolution applied to the S23. Basically, is AI able to make up for the loss of detail in the cell phone.
I loved the way you put this together. 200MP is more about bragging rights and marketing. The Fuji, any Fuji would beat this cellphone. For internet posting, 8MP is more than enough. The enlargements you must get from the GFX100s should be astounding!
Are the file sizes about the same between the 2? Or is the Samsungs files bloated from the higher pixel count? I'm surprised with how well the small sensor performed. For 95% of people that's just fine for them. But for people like me I want the extra detail because I have the funds to do so, you also get a lot more creative freedom that comes with the lens choices.
What did Lightroom say the F-stop was on the Samsung? I've seen "kit lens" that look this bad. I wonder how much is the glass in front of the sensor?
I know the S23 Ultra is just a phone and has a way smaller sensor size compared to the professional camera but this proves that smartphones don't need these high megapixel cameras. I think at 50MP we are close to the limit of what smartphones can handle with their sensor sizes, for now.
I believe if the phone's AI was to take more shots for the final picture, since it is mounted on a tripod, it would increase the image quality significantly.
Also there is some light distortion when zooming in deep into the S23 Ultra's pictures. This is probably because of the tiny lens the phone's camera has to see through compared to traditional camera lenses. So it's not just AI.
The phone doesn't need so many megapixels for resolution.it needs it for processing, multiexposure for sensitivity DR stacking, for most zoom possible, for easy moire artifacts removal and much more. While it is great and sensor resolution is cheap, it is not only about resolution...
smartphones don't need high megapixels what are you smoking, tell that to HTC who had your mindset that high megapixels are not needed they downgraded from 16mp phones and use 4MP sensors, ask them how it turned out. MEGAPIXEL is the print size if you dont know the logic behind them, you can zoom in and zoom in. a 12mp iphone will never zoom in like a 200mp Photo you can't even create a professional billboard with 12mp camera without heavy editing. with a 200 mp camera no edit needed straight to the post because the picture has so much details.
@@David-Zita In the poor sense of it, 200 MP is an incredible resolution. Unfortunately, in a phone those 200MP look like 64MP at best not only because of the small sensor but also because of the dense lens.
Try to remember when you were looking through someone's glasses, or a magnifying glass. The edges of that are little distorted or blurry. Well, that blurriness increases as you go smaller.
I also tried comparing 200MP with 50MP photos on my S23 Ultra and they are 90% the same.
Maybe with the first look it may seem the 200MP is slightly sharper but in reality, practically I cannot make out more detail compared to the 50MP, neither can I see a face more clearly.
Quite the opposite actually, when you zoom in too much it sometimes looks unnatural as the AI tries to make the picture look higher detail.
Tks your video
Good video; however, watching this on my small phone's screen, I preferred the photos taken with phone.
The scary thing is for social media use the Samsung S23 out classes the Fuji & it was something I did not expect. Guess computational photography 📸 has progressed. Maybe Fuji should add the feature and then retest. 🤔
It would be interesting and useful to compare the Samsung phone with a more consumer based camera with an APSC or m43 sensor.
With the Samsung, you would have to manually apply a larger lens / objective. The Fuji camera is physically superior. At that price, it has to be better. Considering how small the Samsung is, it's incredible. Think with software updates there is more in the future.
Honestly both devices are pretty amazing
If you add a bigger lens to Samsung( cell phone) you have to add a grip to the phone, bayonet (or make a lens with sensor together and then send signal USB), solve autofocus etc..basically you will make a camera with phone, which will be a nice battery eater :)
Pixel size and zoom lenses fulfill each other in digital pictures.
I wonder how pictures would have come out if you had one of those add-on lenses on the phone. I think the phone pictures will have quite similar qualities after that.
Hopefully in your next video you'll compare the performance of a Honda Accord to an Audi RS7.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's low-light 8K video and photo results are truly amazing.
It's amazing that we've come to a world where a small cell phone that you always carry in your hand can perform as well as a $2000 mirrorless.
As fun photos or video with your aunt's name day or some spontaneous holiday, a phone is enough. Except that the phone starts to cost almost as much as full-frame cameras and offer image quality at the level of 1-inch compacts from 2010 (currently costing about $ 150-200). And because I have a phone, I sometimes use it for photos or videos when I don't care about any quality.
nope, doesnt even come close
8k is stable now but it still needs daylight to be usable, I dont know what youre talking about its low light video
Photos are comparable, it can get the same level of brightness but the detail is nowhere near the camera
s23 ultra costs $1200 and I would say that the $800 difference is more than worth it if you want pure quality, just get a $2000 dslr
Yeah these small sensors have a long way to go. Nice video
Well, I wasn't expecting to be better. There is a really big difference in sensor sizes.
Sensor size and probably lens quality too.
@@moimacartmostly sensor size
Now imagine all the computational power of the s23 Ultra, applied to a Medium format camera
I’m a professional photographer my interest is more about making prints and generally they’re quite large using sharpening software AI. In terms of larger prints, do you think there would be any difference between the Samsung S23 ultra and S22 ultra in terms of detail and sharpness?
There hasn't been any updates on the Samsung yet. Be interesting once a few updates have come out.
Agreed
Excellent, I have a Nicon Coolpix P950 and there is no phone that comes close, you have a very good camera, I have two fuji and they are very good although they are low-end and old. Many people say that phones are better than cameras but they are not. For good photos the best is a good camera.
You should compare the Sony A1 50 megapixel, and it would be better than these two with more details mega pixel don’t mean much, sensors type, and of course size matter
Iphone 13 or 14 pro is detailed. Any comparison to those phones?
I bought myself an S23 Ultra and, as an average person, I really like this smartphone👍🏻📱
Please do the same comparison with a google pixel 7 pro which is suppose to be one of the best camera phones
However, it is essential to consider the general consensus on this matter. Fujifilm's offering boasts significantly larger and superior optics, along with a larger sensor. While a 200-megapixel count may suggest superior image quality, this is not always the case. The image quality improvement is noticeable primarily when comparing cameras with identical setups, differing solely in megapixel count, up to a certain threshold. Beyond this threshold, factors such as sensor size and lens quality become dominant in determining image quality. In scenarios where the limiting factors are either the sensor size or the capabilities of the lens, the megapixel count becomes irrelevant, regardless of whether it is higher or not. However, when the megapixel count stands as the sole limiting factor, it can indeed make a substantial difference in image quality.
In broad daylight requiring small aperture lenses and fast shutter speeds you will not notice much different between phone shots and larger sensor camera shots. It will only matter if you're shooting fast moving subjects indoors in low light like indoor events and fashion shows. Larger image sensors captures more light and thus is cleaner and more usefull in low light, but again large sensor versus small sensor cameras does not matter much when shooting in broad daylight. Large aperture lens coupled with large image sensor is useful for portraits if you love bokeh or subject/ background separation, but if you're shooting landscape or group of people smaller aperture is much desirable than larger f stops because you want sharp and detailed image from corner to corner. Large Megapixel count is useful when cropping wideangle shots of smartphone without telezoom lenses, compared to lower megapixel camera with long telezooms.. In conclusion, both cameraphone and Pro camera has each uses we should not discount one another because we could use each disadvantages to benefit or complement one another. They have both pros and cons, they both have their uses. If you know how to use them purposely and properly you will never go wrong with any of them. It depends on your shooting skills and how well do you know your camera may it be a pro camera or a phone camera. Lastly, phone shots are meant to be shared directly to the web and on social media. Pro camera shots are meant to be post processed and printed on paper. But if photos are to be used equally for web purposes only, then it does not matter much if you're shooting with pro camera or phone, JPEG is your goto for online photos anyway because you cannot upload RAW format directly to social media sites.
How's Fuji in making calls? Web browsing?))
Even in grey day with "low" dinamic range, the diferent is big, not to mention in a brigh day.
