Hello
@@gigahertzmedia734 hi
Give away 💕
❤️❤️
Can you do videos on how to use certain settings on the camera s22 for best lighting
The HDR colors is a big giveaway. I prefer natural colors of a DSLR sometimes but it's hard to beat a camera that you always have in a pocket.
Yup. Samsung is kinda infamous for that overexposure pictures so it's quite easy to pick the right one out.
@@sleepyearth tbf the comparison on those very high contrast pictures wassn't that fair. he should've either disabled the hdr function on the s23 ultra or used a fixed lens on the a7. having a full frame with a zoom lens increases the quality of shadows, increasing the already present advantage of the bigger sensor. if he shot that pic with a fixed lens and the hdr disabled on the s23, the pictures would've looked way more similar, bringing the comparison down to the software being able to correctly elaborate the shadows. a phone has a small sensor, thus all the job in those details comes down to the software and the hdr function.
@@game9370x Whether the lens is a zoom lens or a prime makes no difference to the shadows. The only thing that affects how shadows appear is how good the lenses’ contrast is, which is unrelated to if it is a zoom or a prime.
.
Those times are frequent. I never carry a DSLR in my pocket.
I've seen countless S23 Ultra's Camera reviews and none of the photos taken by the other reviewers compare to the the photos taken by Tom. This actually confirms the fact that, it's not the camera it's the photographer!!
Amazing review Tom, now I'm tempted to move on from my OP5T.
I've actually come to complain about how bad the video quality is on this video. It all looks like it's been shot on a 2012 phone. I'm watching on a 4k TV and it all looks very pixilated. Luckily I know the phones are good from other better image quality videos I've seen.
Thanks so much dude 🥹
agree
@@ItsTomRich I didn't mean it nastily mate, take it as constructive criticism. Maybe something to do with the quality rate you uploaded it as or something. Might be fine to watch on a phone maybe but on a full sized TV it renders it all useless as something to judge image quality by especially 👍🏻
@@moss1066 This was shot on my Sony FX30 and Sony FX6 so I highly doubt the quality is bad bro haha. It’s more likely to be your internet
It would be nice to compare unedited photos with both cameras set in RAW with matched shutter speed; ISO and aperture as well as the an edited side by side to see where the strengths and weaknesses truly are between the hardware/software sets.
wouldn't really be reflective of real life results since 99% of users would keep the computational photography features on
@@bigherb That 99% are not the ones watching this kind of video, the ones that are looking at comparisons like this want to know details like the ones OP is asking for
so you're telling me you wanna cripple one of the main advantages that the phone has for the sake of "fairness" ? in that case we should only use like 10% of the pro camera's sensor to make it fair.@@ChaosRune
Why? it's super obvious which photo is the proper camera, colours alone give it away
That's quite pointless endeavor, considering RAW images, as the name implies, are just raw data that need to be processed; i.e. edited.
Besides, apertures are not directly comparable either. Smaller sensor means smaller physical aperture, f1.4 would be more like f10 on a full frame camera (can't bother to calculate this exactly, but you get the point).
The Samsung S23 Ultra is unbelievable! Some photos looked preferable than the Sony if you don't pixel peep too much. Something you dont get to hear a lot from smartphones. Great video!
What’s pixel peep?
@@3Kiwiana means looking closely to the point where u can see actual pixels
I cannot believe that that small lens in Samsung gives such great details.
Zoom is great
It actually doesn't, there's actually tons of over-sharpening done and that's why it'll always be a smartphone cam 👍🏿
I'm not saying it doesn't look good, though.
@@xslvrxslwt but the oversharpening could be solved by the software that caused it in the first place. The reason why smartphone shots are so oversharpened because the normies like it. Just like the pumped up contrast on Smartphones.
@@xslvrxslwt No oversharpening or not. The image quality out of the 200 MP mode. Have a very high quality and information.
I remember thinking the 2MP camera in my old LG C2200 was the coolest thing ever back in 2005.. How times has changed.
man i loved my LG enV2
But of course I thank LG top of QLED TV the best in TV industry.
Glad they quit the smartphone.
@@specialcookday 😥 i love lg smartphones.
i use a lg g8 right now and have a hard time finding another phone that can replace it.
@Tushar Ahmed hah, I didnt even remember that. I must have mixed it up with some other old Samsung SGH phone.
Now it's 100 times more lol
Had to watch to the end, a great comparison vid!
Great comparison video.
Keep it up🖤
That 200mp sensor from Samsung is really ahead of the game. Even the optical to digital zoom can compete the professional cam. It was a great review 👍🏼
Yeah 200 mp sensor but you never tell the truth as we count the megapixelx in the the result photo, the real dimension of the photo so compare of the same resolution of photo ...
Am so late 😭❤nice video tho
@@lavluvlovye, I know most people see images on their phones but an image taken with your phone viewed on a monitor looks okay at best
As a hobbyist photographer, this is the time of content I was looking for as I just preordered my S23.
Same here. Its nice to have a B camera that can take excellent photos almost as well as my Sonys (in some cases better).
Same!!
Agree with you 100%. Over the past 3 years I haven't taken my DSLR on vacation for this same reason, our pocket phones are nearly as good with less work to get good results.
No... Please shut up
Your video comparison is just amazing!!! Kudos to you...
One thing I think some people have overlooked which is particularly important to myself, is that, to resolve all that extra detail, Samsung have quietly also upgraded the lens, not the specs, but the quality. The refraction (spots) from lights in night shots, is noticeably improved and the overall natural sharpness in RAW shots seems improved. That, along with the overhauled speaker system and microphones, tells me Samsung are more focused on pushing the more marketable material. I personally think improved speakers/microphones on such a device, is a big deal! Especially as a content consumer/creator.
Well, I would love to see much less sharpening applied both in raws and jpgs.
The new mics are incredible!! Definitely going to mention this in my full review
Omg yes thank you
@@azjarosz you can lower it down.
@@joelconolly5574 how ? Is there a setting for lowering down the sharpening? And if you say that I can even reduce noise reduction on the night shots, I'm gonna find you and give a bottle of nice whisky or rum! :D
It's crazy how much better smartphones have gotten over the years. Great video!!
and they are holding back as well to justify upgrades yearly lol imagine if it weren't for greed.
@@brandongant618 true. I bet the smartphone tech nowadays already existed before 2012
Talk too much. We need picture comparisons!
nokia 808
This makes me happy. I just got an S23U purely for photography. My daily phone is an iPhone 12 mini, which is sub-optimal for that, and all my research pointed to this Samsung slab being exactly what I need. You have confirmed that for me. Thanks!
Your photography-based phone reviews are a visual treat! The way you present the phone features through your lens helps consumers get a real sense of what to expect in terms of camera quality and versatility.🙌
This is crazy. I can't believe how well the s23 ultra holds up. The framing and composure also is key, which you nailed. (I wish I had the pixel 6a, or any free phone at that)
Lol scammers will flock to any mention of free phones
The Pixel 6a is such a good phone for the price... I have been using it as my secondary phone with my S22 Ultra as my primary phone. The Pixel 6a excels in battery life, I can routinely get more than 2 days of battery life if I'm not gaming (way smoother compared to my S10), has no bloatware, and absolutely love the "listening now" feature on it!
@@johnliu6855 the now listening is one of the biggest reasons I want to switch to pixel
@@Jabrosky I never even knew that feature existed on pixels till I got it, and the speech to text/translation I use daily and Absolutely love these features!
@@RennieAsh yup Piss All sucks
It's amazing how in just a few years, mobile phone cameras have evolved so much.😮
great comparison, thank you!
I plan on getting myself the 23 Ultra very soon! These videos just get me more n more pumped! Really good review! The UK is forreal so incredibly beautiful with the most amazing architecture you'll see just being out n about on your average day, it's incredible.
I'm soo tempted to get the s23 ultra. Those pictures looks so good for such a tiny sensor.
it depends what phone u have if u have 22 ultra or any new high end phone u should wait for another year cause like since this phone is first ever phone to have 200mp u never know s24 ultra next year gonna have better camera
i will buy it in this year.
the S23 camera looks so good compared to the S22. Dang it is getting closer to the pro cameras pretty quickly. Thanks so much for the comparison!
Giants like Samsung and Sony invest huge amount of money into these small sensors.
@@20puskinas1992 Samsony
Just a perfect video,what i was searching for❤️
Great video, very interesting to see what the S23U can do.
I have a Sony A7C with Tamron 28-200mm and also a Samsung S21U. The Sony auto uploads to my google photos, along with the phone pics, and for me the differnce in quality is very apparant even without zooming in.
I think the main factors are the natral bokeh, lack of over-sharpening (while actually resolving more detail) and more natltral colours.
Looks like the S23U has improved things further but still a little way off in my opinion.
Its just insane how good the phones got over the years
Not really
@@zulfika_ why
We've come a long way with cameras on smartphones it's honestly insane
Just the comparison i didn't know I needed. Thank you.
This is really informative ❤
I have upgraded from the S21U to the S23U. The S23U is really the camera backpack for your pocket. The picture quality is awesome. The 50 MP mode is also interesting and the files aren't that huge. And there is still so much to try and discover in expert raw. Or film in 8k. Then you can also crop photos well. And the whole performance over all is so good. It's a real leap forward for Samsung.
How does it compare to the s21 I'm trading mine in
@@aiming2shoot A "normal" S21, or Ultra?
Plus you get the S Pen for free with Bluetooth
@@aiming2shoot way better and you don't get Robbed of $60+ for the Inferior S Pen without Bluetooth on S23 Ultra
I'm actually impressed with the specs on the Samsung S23 ultra, it's really fascinating
absolutely loving the pics from my S23U
I really like the 200MP. I'm not a good photographer, but I like taking photos. A lot of photos that would be throwaways are often saved by the 200MP camera because I can crop into the image without losing much details and change the look of it, which is can't do with the 12MP cameras I'm used to, because the quality quickly suffers. Obviously the answer to this is "just take better photos" but when I'm running and gunning with a phone, that often isn't an option, and being able to crop in without losing too much detail and saving the shot really helps.
Incredible how close the S23 gets to a professional camera! I'm curious how good these photos would be if the sensor was physically bigger, like even just twice as big
You'd run into sensor readout-speed limitations pretty fast. That's one reason professional cameras can't (yet) do a lot of the software-trickery cellphone cameras can. The Sony A7IV for example reads the sensor very slow (it's a budget/entry level camera), but even the Sony A1 flagship hovers around 15ms I think (in electronic shutter mode). It WILL be interesting to see what will be possible once APS-C and fullframe cameras have near-to-instantaneous readout. edit: then again; who knows what will be possible with tiny cellphone camera sensors then! :)
@@ollenn9777 would such issue be kinda resolved if they had a beefier processing unit?
@@M0eRiyadh Not directly. The current BIONZ XR processing units in some Sony cameras for example are pretty beefy already (the A1 can handle up to 30 fullframe 50 MP images per second, which is pretty crazy), the limitations lie within the imaging sensor itself and the pipeline to the CPU as I understand it. Once you have read out let's say 12 or 30 or 50 MP of sensor data and the CPU goes to work, it doesn't really matter that much how large or small the sensor was. The amount and type of data is basically the same. I'm sure Sony BIONZ XR processors could run circles around a cellphones CPU but nevertheless it can't (yet) do what - for example - the S23 Ultra can achieve. But I'm not an expert, and I'm sure it's possible that Samsung is already doing some trickery before the image data has even left the pipeline to the CPU. Maybe there is some HDR processing already going on in that stage, just as the Canon C70 camcorder apparently does to boost dynamic range in certain modes...

@@ollenn9777 I got a sony a7iv for my first camera and I've taken great pictures with it. Used a Viltrox 85mm lens which is surprisingly good for a 3rd party. I sold them all and now I'm trying to get the A7RV.
Wow, S23 Ultra seems to do more than enough for any non-professional photography enthusiast
Thanks for this great comparison
thanks for giving us this kind of contents, very helplfull
Thanks for making this available.
Wow, what a fascinating review! Your comparison of the S23 Ultra's photography capabilities to a professional $5000 camera was truly eye-opening. I appreciate how you presented your findings in a clear and concise manner, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each device. Your side-by-side comparisons of the images and videos captured by both cameras were extremely helpful in showing just how capable the S23 Ultra is in producing high-quality content. Your expert analysis has not only provided valuable insights but also helped me make an informed decision when it comes to investing in a camera. Thank you for such an informative and thought-provoking video review, keep up the great work!
Sounds like ChatGPT G
Yeah, let's put the camera company's out of business ..and put people out of work as well
One other consideration (more of a benefit to hobbyists, vloggers, etc.) is that when you pair the S23U to a handheld gimble stabilizer, you move the results slider even closer to the pro cameras. Additionally, the handheld phone gimbles are $100. While a decent gimble stabilizer for a D7500 is four to five times that much.
Great video and like both. Havent compared on the super telephoto side but to be fare it would have been Nice to use the clear image zoom on the A7iv.
Love these comparison videos
It's astonishing how far we've come in terms of improving the capabilities of smaller cameras
Im still using the iphone 5s and Galaxy s5 as my dailies, and it is absolutely insane how much of an advancement we made in a little over a decade
Galaxy S5 have a very good camera. And I have s22 ultra.
Really?
IPhone 5s? lmao.
Yeah, it still works; it’s just a hobby of mine
Using old phones haha
I still have 4s as well; I can’t use that one though, but everything works on that one too still
I'm still using s8 plus. Not gonna change this phone for another 2 or 3 years. Hope I'll get the greatest phone that even s23 ultra would look less futuristic compared to my next phone.
6:44 that s23 portrait mode is so satisfying to look at! I have no idea about photography techniques, but that photo quality is world class to me 😂.
Fantastic review, subscribed!
Wooow!! I thank you for your work! I live in Mexico and it's difficult to buy any technologies so this really help me to decide for a camera!!
Amazing video comparison. Very impressed with the S23 Ultra images - look forward to your camera review.
Excellent job! This is a review I was hoping to see. I am a Nikon shooter but also have some Sony cameras and the one you have is a great camera! I will receive the S23 Ultra in a few days and purchased it primarily for photography and video usage. I am so impressed with the shots you got from it! TY and I will continue to follow your page.
Very interesting and informative review. Thank you
yes the results of this comparison surprised me
Really excited to get the s23 Ultra. Upgrading from an S22 ultra, mostly because of the battery and UFS 4.0 fast storage. But the camera upgrade is going to be a big bonus!
The new cpu is gonna make everything a lot more efficient too
Does it really translate to real-life usage changes though? On paper, maybe, but does it warrant the upgrade?
@@trilla63 It is a significant upgrade, but personally s22u to s23u is a stupid upgrade.
Waisted money , sorry to say so...
@@joemama7388 couldn't agree more with you. To soon upgrade.
Thanks Tom for showing us the DSLR and S23 Ultra comparison. Hope to see more future content like this and also hopefully sample photos we can download and zoom in these photos too. keep up the good work
That's not a DSLR🤦
@@sreejanspov :D :D :D
Great comparison. Tx
Thank you for sharing ❤
Lately I've learned to appreciate my phone as a daily walk around camera for some point and shoot street photography. Great to see the tech getting better and better!
I bought the s23 ultra and I've been using it for a week and I have to say that the camera quality is amazing. I'm glad that it can compare even to professional cameras. Congrats for the great content!

CONGRATS FOR YOUR WORK. I just bought my s23 ultra and i want to know what additional settings you made and modes you used for S23. TY.
A good and well presented comparison.
Truly great review!
Nice to see a professional camera comparison. It can get a bit confusing with all the phone reviews.
Am happy to have found you, will have to catch up on your videos.
Tempted for the S23 Ultra, but can't justify it at the moment.
Maybe the S24 Ultra will be perfect.
I saw the pixel 7 instore the other day, so will watch your 6 + 7 reviews.
Even the Pixel 6 would be an improvement for me, as my old Android is out of updates.
Best wishes to you Tom 🙂
The improvements on the S23 cameras are insane
I actually really appreciate this video. Great stuff! It shows just how good smart phones are getting!

Great video comparison. ❤❤❤
Thank you for this comparison. It is amazing how great the quality on the Samsung S23 is. Keep up the great work.
It's wild how far phone cameras have game. In the recent years I slowly stopped using my camera as much because it was more convenient to just take my phone out of my pocket vs carrying around my camera. Good video!!
i prefer the more subtle and natural camera look without the processing (specifically the sharpness and hdr) so i tend to use the pro mode in the camera app as my defacto everyday shooting mode. auto shutter and iso with exposure slightly tuned down rather than the fully automated photo mode. it's much harder to differentiate which shots are from a dedicated camera that way.
Amazing review Tom,
Picked the ultra up yesterday and love the camera quality
I actually got the S23 ultra and I have been using it as my daily driver for the past 4 days..unfortunately, I have NOT been able to get out to fully test the camera yet - but this looks VERY promising.
What a great, informative and professional review. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
It just shows far far mobile photography has progressed. Keep up the awesome content
I like that you are a guy that's so young and completely in photography world that you are an expert already, and that you view smartphone cameras as something that's not part of your daily life. That makes you able to be amazed by smartphone camera features that we all take for granted nowadays. I like seeing my daily device from a different perspective. Seems almost like magic compared to standard professional DSLR camera equipment.
I think these camera advancements are great not just in ways most people expect. A friend of mine is visually impaired (I think classified as legally blind) and he uses cellphone cameras in place of digital magnifiers a lot of times
Woah this is so cool!! Thank you for sharing
Wow, really loved this camera comparison with my favorite combination (The Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Sony A7 V) can't wait to get my S23 U to capture some amazing content with.
Hi Tom, great review. You really lay out the case for getting the S23.
At the end of the video you talked about night shot mentioning that you need tripod for professional camera to get good results. That is correct for long exposure. However phone takes reasonably long (or short) exposure and combine multiple exposures in one picture, as most of us know that. My point here is that Canon introduced the same principle in 2012. called handheld night scene in their DSLR line starting with EOS 650D if I remember correctly. So for more than 10 years we can take night scene without tripod and it works pretty good - I have used it. To be precise, it make low light photography much better, but it is not long exposure.
s23 ultra seems to be ticking all the right boxes everywhere
Really impressed by how far smartphones have come along!
good job! going to grab this phone to do Landscape and Nature Photography. beats carrying around my DLSR and all the gear vs 1 capable phone, a tripod and a couple accessories.
Thanks for a good test..
Awesome video! Did you try the pro mode in S23 ultra and compare that to a regular camera? I’m not sure, but you might not get the over sharpened/contrast images that you get by default.
Thanks for the demo, looks pretty decent if you ask me. This phone has finally made me want to upgrade after nearly 5 years on my old phone.
Nice comparison video!
I took a photography class a year and a bit ago and I haven't been able to let myself take a bad photo. I loved taking photos to capture memories and I've filled up my phone for a few months. It's funny that phones have evolved so much that they can even be on par with a camera.
S23 Ultra camera system is mind blowing🔥

It will always be better in the hands of a skilled photographer Eduardo, but try fitting one into your pocket and carrying it around with you all day. 🤔
nice for u to get the red one. The red one is only available through online order at Samsung Malaysia website.

Amazing how these new phones pack all these possibilities in such a compact unit. I'm still happy with my Note 10 plus (although mij screen has some cracks).
