The portrait mode on this phone is insane man. I never once was like “meh this looks kindda fake. It was usually spot on. The only give away (with all phones) is foreground blur. They don’t know what to do with it
Is there some accessible material on how to learn some fundamentals for lighting/framing/exposure? I have a background in art, but not photo medium. Looking to start exploring photography with this phone
Definitely. Its not abt the ride its abt the rider. But Samsung has become more consistent in their portrait mode and the cut outs are scintillating. we live in a galaxy like that.
Most S22 comparisons with other phones are showing the iPhone is slightly better at video but this is something else. I have not seen anyone else compare the S22 with a pro camera, with a well-lit, slow moving subject in the hands of a real photographer. Impressive pictures, sir! I am a step closer to ordering this camera, with a built-in phone.
I have noticed that. Iphone is always better in taking videos and I do not understand what is wrong with samsung. However, in taking photos, it always seems Samsung and pixel are top.
@@MothersMilk-1 ehh terrible is pushing it and you know it. They are good for the average person but not great like iPhone. I shoot all my YT videos with Samsung phones and no issues.
Robin - amazing? Do you also have normal camera to compare? :) then you will see the real difference. And try PRO mode and shoot in RAW with S22. You can edit photos in free version of Adobe Lightroom. That is when you can get maximum from your phone.
I'm a working pro photographer and just got my S22 Ultra. It's incredibly impressive. Obviously the pro gear is much more flexible and S22 only really works for social/small res work as it falls apart once blown up but I fully intend on supplementing my work with S22 shots at times, also using it as a C-cam/timelapse cam for video work. Will really up the BTS shot game for a lot of pros too!
Interesting. I’ve seen other comparisons between iPhone and S22, and the Samsung usually has a lot more detail when cropping in. I suppose the 108mp main camera holds up much better when blown up than the 10mp zoom cameras. So I’m guessing you don’t really benefit when shooting portraits unless you shoot wide portraits with the main 108mp lens? Thanks
@@kristiangurholt59 I know it's a bit of an outdated comparison, but I have an S20 ultra which also has a 108mp sensor (wouldn't surprise me if it was the same sensor), and it just doesn't look as sharp as my Nikon D5300, which is a 9 year old camera at this point. 108mp mode especially is RIDICULOUSLY grainy, even in full daytime.
@@NukeMyHouse thanks for the input! It’s difficult to judge camera performance unless your holding the phone in your hands, as there are very conflicting reviews by users to be found on the web. Same goes for iPhone. Mrwhosetheboss’s comparison between the two show much better zooming capabilities with the Samsung, maintaining detail lost with the iPhone. However, the thing that would really bring a phones camera closer to that of “real cameras” would imo be using those pixels to allow for cropping or the use of bigger formats while still preserving detail. I suppose this is where tiny phone-lenses and sensors have technical limitations as to how small/many pixels they allow for before the image gets too noisy, like you said. Personally, one workaround I’ve found is to use really slow shutter speeds. With this I’m able to get virtually noise-free pictures with my iPhone. Unless motion blur is something you’re looking for, this only works with static objects mind you.
@@wolandphotography the computational processing is so good I usually just shoot the JPG and edit it. The RAWs on the expert camera do have a lot of latitude tho and are quite editable

He only used portrait mode. There's better options on the S22 Ultra. Pro mode or Photo and now Pro mode for Video. He was just using what most people will use, that's quick and easy. And Apple and Samsung knock it out of the park.
Great comparison! HDR and the overall SOOC result is really what sold me to completely switch from a dedicated cam to a phone cam. Don't have the luxury of time anymore to do lots of post processing specially if you already have kids.
Same here. As an amauter photografer was thinking about update my 12years camera and buy sony a6400, but run into this video and it made me really to think about
6:18 spoken like an Apple fan boy/girl. Actually it's the other way around, Samsung comes out with innovative technology and Apple just copies them. When Apple fold comes out and the next Samsung fold comes out after are you gonna say because Samsung came out after Apple that they can tweak stuff?
Wherever samsung cant compete with apple in software departmant they compansate with their hardware(bigger better sensors, screen, microphones, cooling etc). Effort is amazing and it pays off most of the time, thanks to sensor staggered hdr really works in video.
They did more than just ‘tweak’ what apple did though, the role of ai is very minimal in iPhones, meanwhile in Samsung did a completely different approach. In benchmarks, sdgen1 can do up to 4x the ai image processing compared to an apple a15, and Samsung took advantage of that
Sounds like the guy behind the camera is mad. But I’m really impressed with the s22u, I preferred the overall photos from it (especially for it being a point and shoot). Also great shots!
People always focus on what Samsung does wrong, instead of what It does right. Samsung were never bad phones to begin with, it’s software optimization is debatable, but there’s progress being made there. But otherwise, Samsung offers top tier phones The only people who say Samsung was ever bad to begin with, were diehard apple fans who had too much pride. Even here, I’d see comments of how ‘apple could have done better’ and it’s honestly really sad lol
No matter what item you use to capture images they turn out amazing. The tool is for sure less important than the operator. I liked the Samsung images more, mainly due to the extra dynamic range. I hope that we one day will have built-in seamless HDR as an option in large sensor cameras. Lee, I have a creative challenge for you. Use a 10-year-old point and shoot in a portrait situation, would be interesting to see what you can achieve!
Thank you Lee, great content, Samsung has really made their portrait mode so close to this expensive and bulky camera. Now they need to improve video where camera's are still much better, samsung should improve and make a better cinematic mode than apple for video.
Nice to see how far phone cameras have come, but commenting Apple came out 5 months before is a bad excuse Apple could always update the processing but they ddon't. Cool video
People say otherwise because in camera comparisons, they often never bother with the settings (which are too processed and fake looking on default for freighter colors), and for those that won’t use Samsungs, they never know what its actually capable of. otherwise, if you know how to tinker with its settings, they can be very out standing
You make taking great photos look so effortless and you have great banter with the models. Watching that helps me not stress so much when I'm out at shoots. Have you ever thought about making a video giving tips how you approach posing models and what you're thinking before you take a photo?
I just ordered the S22 Ultra (I know, I'm late to the party), and I shoot DSLR as well. I've always said that a cell phone will never be able to replace a dedicated camera. Photography is a physical property of light and there's no way to physically reproduce that in a cell phone. Even though the effects of the phone are AI, they look incredible, and considering it's the device you're more likely to have on hand at any given moment. That said, it still takes the skill of an artist to understand the lighting and framing as you have shown in this shoot. Very impressive of the phone, more impressive of you as a photographer.
What you say is very true, years ago my PRO cameras became just work tools (weddings). Our cell phones accompany us everywhere and do their job very well, this year I stopped being a fan of Samsung after many years and the photos of my ex Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA vs my current Google Pixel 6 PRO do not withstand the test of see them 1/1 scale. Samsung has a destructive algorithm. Google respects the detail. I bought my google 3 months after I bought my Samsung. Guess who's for sale now?... // Esto que dices es muy cierto, hace años que mis cámaras PRO han paso a ser solo herramientas de trabajo (bodas). Nuestros celulares nos acompañan a todos lados y realizan muy bien su trabajo, este año deje de ser fan de Samsung después de muchos años y es que las fotos de mi ex Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA vs mi actual Google Pixel 6 PRO no soportan el test de verlas escala 1/1. Samsung tiene un algoritmo destructivo. Google respeta el detalle. Compre mi google 3 meses después de haber comprado mi Samsung. Adivina quien esta en venta ahora?... 😉
"They came out 6 months after Apple came out" I mean the iPhone came out in September and the S22 line cane in February. The S22 is a lot closer to the iPhone 13 than it is to the iPhone 14 otherwise, what iPhone do you compare it to? I think they both do well.
exactly, that statement is lame. even comparing iPhone13 Pro with S21Ultra, S21 still win tho except for video which iPhone always does better job. the only massive different for S21 and S22 is edge detection. in time iPhone 14 came out, S22 already got a several update for camera improvement, like S21 did.
I'd argue many of the shots looked better from the s22 ultra. Sure it can't get everything right but what it does it really does. I just upgraded from a s20 ultra and I'm shocked at the improvements over the past 2 years.
S20 ultra was a megapixel bump.. and that's it.. note 10 was better.. then samsung did improve s20 ultra shortcomings and s21 ultra was a great improvement and good upgrade overall
W😮W! That was a masterclass in Smartphone photography! Thank you! Could you do another video using the Manual / Pro functionality of the S22 Ultra? That would be awesome as no reviewer will touch on this subject matter. Best wishes!
Thanks for the comparison. Phone cameras are running head to head with "pro" cameras. Sometimes it's difficult to decide to bring my mirrorless camera and it's accessories such as extra lenses, batteries and chargers. I do love to use my mirrorless when traveling but convenience wise the phone is unmatched.
When traveling I only use my phone (Galaxy S22) to take pics, but for professional works like taking pics or making videos for a company I’m working for, I gotta use a pro camera. 10 years ago I would bring a camera with me whenever I went on a vocation but now with phone camera being much advanced I’m using a phone instead.
Pro shooter here (two a7iii, one a7Riv, with far too many lenses). I'm heading on my first cruise in two weeks and have been debating which camera and what lenses to bring - all the while thinking I should just leave it all at home and focus on having a good time instead. (but hey, am I really being "me" if I'm not taking pictures?!?) This video has me thinking that maybe I do just leave the pro cameras home, take my S22 Ultra and use it for the few shots I want here and there and focus the rest of my time on having fun. Thank you for sharing!
@@youranonymous931 yes we know that but with those “portrait mode usually it’s assisted by computational photography, right? Main camera are usually the strongest gear
@@mrdamiansingh that is if you use portrait mode with main cam, then it uses computational photography. If you use telephoto lens, stand far from your subject, then you will get true portrait effect without computational photography
@@youranonymous931 ok bro bro whatever is clever! I don’t shoot professional work with cellphones anyways I just mention a “you should have” I couldn’t care less about this whole discussion but stay up and keep on it
@@youranonymous931 the sensor of the telephoto lens is nowhere near as good as the main lens. The telephoto in portrait mode is to give a tighter FoV overall, but the bokeh or blur is 100% AI or computational.
This is an amazing video. In the hand of a proper photographer (who had the good sense to lock the focus and dial down the exposure on S22U), S22U in several shots actually came out trumps over the Sony and that just BLOWS my mind. You should do a similar one where u use Expert RAW in S222U and run both the pics in Adobe LR on a Computer and then lets see what happens!!
This has to be the best camera review video I have ever seen!! 🔥🔥 I now love my s22 ultra so much more thanks to this 🙌 ❤️ I really am shocked at how well this phone snaps portrait sho😳😳
I used to shoot photography with Canon I am a s22 owner as well and this is probably the first video I've seen with another photographer showing this phone. all the videos you see online is iPhone iPhone there needs to be more Samsung video creators or creators using the Samsung phone with video and photography. this was really well done most of the pictures I liked the fact that you could see the side by side between a $3,000 camera basically and a phone. and I think the phone in some cases did a little better or they looked about the same but hands down to Samsung for competing with a professional camera. Samsung doesn't get the marketing love that Apple does but they make a hell of a camera. this was really well done I think you should do another shoot in a different location with a different model just for some perspective like maybe outdoors or maybe street photography or a boudoir shoot or fine art shoot
That's just amazing. Can't wait to get mine to try out the Expert RAW app on the S22 Ultra. I'm curious to how the landscape photography will be with it.
Thanks for the side-by-side comparison. It really gives evidence that the quality of work we do is not just having a great camera. Especially since many of the newer smartphones produce comparable results to mid-range pro cameras. The untrained eye of an everyday consumer would not be able to pick up the difference. Great work here by the way! I may try one of these tests myself in my old-time photo studio.
The portrait mode is crazy!! my main interest in the S22 Ultra's camera is for taking selfies and pictures of me and my friends, so I appreciate being able to really see what it's capable. Were there any presets or special settings that you did or was it really just point-and-click? :O
Great pics! It would've been a joke just a few years ago if someone suggested comparing the image quality of a smartphone to a pro digital camera, but smartphones, especially Samsung, have come a long way. The S22 is all the camera the average person would need; buying digital cameras is now mainly for photography pros/amateurs/enthusiasts.
😂 At the off-camera person's comment. That's like every Apple fan's excuse 😂 🙄 When the iPhone 14 comes out, and the camera is improve, then one can say the same thing about Apple 🤦. What a dumb rationale 🙄
@6:18, I mean its been that way since the beginning, same way when the iPhone 14 comes out, it will be competing with the S22 Ultra. You test out the best from each company so by his logic, when the 14 pro max comes out it wouldn't matter because the S22 ultra would be 7 months old.
1:37 look at the hand, it's mindblowing how S22 had done justice to the dynamic range! Even in that background wall, I still can't believe that the S22 captured darker areas as well as brighter areas, are both, better than the alpha.
A Samsung smartphone and a Sony mirrorless camera, also my favourite team. Same goes for me together with my Sony A6000. The camera system on the S22 Ultra is indeed a true incredible piece of equipement. And i'm happy that Samsung now also has used Sony sensors same as Apple with the IPhone 13 series. This video shows that in the hands of the right persoon a S22 Ultra can easily match the quality of a point and sloot camera like for example the Sony RX-100 series or even maybe an entry level A6000 series mirroless camera. I've picked up my S22 Ultra yesterday and going to enjoy it to the max!
Great video but I would love to watch a video comparison of Samsung’s expert raw (and how it edits) compared to Apple ProRAW (and how it edits) I think that it would be berry interesting to see a comparison of these computationally enhanced raw files.
Check out jonathan casey ? I think he did a Samsung RAW vs Apple ProRes video. Samsung takes it up a notch by using RAW which keeps a lot more data than ProRes. Also apparent in the file size, samsung RAW was 5GB in 15 seconds
@@therainbowpoopp I’m referring to the pictures, ProRes and ProRaw are different, still thank you for the suggestion, thankfully he just uploaded a comparison today.
Dude this was amazing! I didn't think the Samsung would hold up. Could you do this again with the S23 Ultra? And maybe do portrait video? A camera vs S23 Ultra vs Iphone 14 Pro would be an incredible video
Damn, I'm so impressed how out of completely ordinary situations, someone with the right eye and experience can get photos that look so good. You'd do better photos with a spoon than I will with the best equipment available. 🙃
Man ! how did u turned this location into an art ,, its amazing how u chose the poses with such a simple place ,, regarding the s22 ultra , i honestly can't believe these photos are straight out of the phone and unedited .. they are stunning
6:20 , they came out 6 month later so they can tweak stuff ? bro that's a weak statement from whoever behind the camera , if i want to make the same argument i can too " ip 14 promax came out also 6 month later after this S22 ultra so apple can tweak stuff to beat samsung " . see the point ? Oh and also you don't need the S22 ultra to beat the ip 13 promax in potrait S21 are doing this just as good as s22 ultra and that phone is 6 month before the 13 promax so ya :) . Also SAmsung recents year has been doing fantastic in Potrait photography they are consistent with the cut out and blur compare the Google pixel or iphone.
I just got a Flip 4 and I thought my phone's camera was great, man the S22 Ultra is a beast on another level...It is truly astonishing to see how good phone cameras have become...this quality from a cell phone is unreal....
As with most camera comparison videos on UA-cam, they didn't show close ups of the images at 100%, which is the only way to compare the amount of noise introduced by the cameras sensors. Without that, the comparison is incomplete. The closest detail this video showed was the hair to show off the Samsung feature for capturing hair detail.
At 5:47 you can see sony's BIGGEST problem. Look at the skylight. Notice how the S22 Ultra preserved more dynamic range in the sky, where sony was blown out. The a7iv is definitely more detailed, however has a horrible handle on dynamic range without bracketing. This is where Ai photography will revolutionize the way we see things. In fact, sony has a brand new Ultra Violet image sensor! This should, if paired with Ai change camera technology as we know it.
"has a horrible handle on dynamic range without bracketing". What? Bracketing is required for HDR on ANY camera. Smartphones have been doing this for a very long time. Without bracketing there is no HDR.
The edge detection of s22 ultra is just unparallel 🥵image few years now and when we get that enough computing power and we implement this level of edge detection in portrait video 😍
Lol I can see the dislikes still. You have a really good ratio on this video. Makes sense tho, how could anyone hate on this comparison and the results. Good job! Impressive by Samsung, typing this on my S22(vanilla)
S22 ultra really got a nice shot and ofcourse its all bec of you as a pro photographer that knows what he is doing, greatjob. wow such a powerful phone hopes i can get it too someday
In some of the shots, and I have to admit it, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, did it better than the Sony Camera you used. On the contrary, in others, the Sony was better. In photos, no matter which condition you have, I loved when you used the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it was so close to a DSLR, just the sky on the background was not as I would like, but it was ok. One thing I always hate as a Photographer, of Mobile Photography, is that the HDR is not quite there yet. In many situations, it ruins the entire photography, so when I can't use my DSLR and I have to use a Mobile Phone, depending on the situation, I better use PRO Mode, so as to avoid the use of HDR, that is just turn on in Automatic Mode. In some scenarios, HDR it's worth it, but in others it's not and like I said before, it can ruin your photo. Greetings from Mexico City Mexico 🇲🇽 colleague.
Crazy how well a smartphone camera performs in the hands of the right person who knows lighting, framing, and exposure!

Our cell phones accompany us everywhere and do their job very well, this year I stopped being a fan of Samsung after many years and the photos of my ex Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA vs my current Google Pixel 6 PRO do not withstand the test of see them 1/1 scale. Samsung has a destructive algorithm. Google respects the detail. I bought my google 3 months after I bought my Samsung. Guess who's for sale now?... // Esto que dices es muy cierto, hace años que mis cámaras PRO han paso a ser solo herramientas de trabajo (bodas). Nuestros celulares nos acompañan a todos lados y realizan muy bien su trabajo, este año deje de ser fan de Samsung después de muchos años y es que las fotos de mi ex Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA vs mi actual Google Pixel 6 PRO no soportan el test de verlas escala 1/1. Samsung tiene un algoritmo destructivo. Google respeta el detalle. Compre mi google 3 meses después de haber comprado mi Samsung. Adivina quien esta en venta ahora?... 😉
"They came out 6 months after Apple came out" I mean the iPhone came out in September and the S22 line cane in February. The S22 is a lot closer to the iPhone 13 than it is to the iPhone 14 otherwise, what iPhone do you compare it to? I think they both do well.
Exactly
Meh! iphone sucks a**
This is the way apple fan boys Express their anger when the lose in an area of competition
exactly, that statement is lame. even comparing iPhone13 Pro with S21Ultra, S21 still win tho except for video which iPhone always does better job.
the only massive different for S21 and S22 is edge detection.
in time iPhone 14 came out, S22 already got a several update for camera improvement, like S21 did.
Finally someone that can do math
I'd argue many of the shots looked better from the s22 ultra. Sure it can't get everything right but what it does it really does.
I just upgraded from a s20 ultra and I'm shocked at the improvements over the past 2 years.
Glad to read that, because I'm considering to upgrade my s20 ultra to the 22.
S20 ultra was a megapixel bump.. and that's it.. note 10 was better.. then samsung did improve s20 ultra shortcomings and s21 ultra was a great improvement and good upgrade overall
W😮W! That was a masterclass in Smartphone photography! Thank you! Could you do another video using the Manual / Pro functionality of the S22 Ultra? That would be awesome as no reviewer will touch on this subject matter. Best wishes!
The ultra looks better 😳
"Wait, that's illegal"
It adds warmth to the pictures 😍
This is amazing!.. The photos taken with this Samsung are incredibly good !
Good smartphone + really good photographer = wonderful photos 😂
Your first Video I'm seeing and it earns my subscription.
Amazing what a phone can achieve these days. Great video!
Thanks for the comparison. Phone cameras are running head to head with "pro" cameras. Sometimes it's difficult to decide to bring my mirrorless camera and it's accessories such as extra lenses, batteries and chargers. I do love to use my mirrorless when traveling but convenience wise the phone is unmatched.
Fr fr
When traveling I only use my phone (Galaxy S22) to take pics, but for professional works like taking pics or making videos for a company I’m working for, I gotta use a pro camera. 10 years ago I would bring a camera with me whenever I went on a vocation but now with phone camera being much advanced I’m using a phone instead.
Up against a Pro Camera and the S22 can hold its own!??! Maybe I don't mind, as much, spending $1,200 on the phone anymore.
worth it does take great pics and u can do more with it.
Also new hm3 sensor has improved staggered hdr so videos has iphone 12 pro level dynamic range(iphone 13 handles highlights better than both)
I can't imagine attaching a flash to a smartphone and bouncing light around at parties, though.
Pro shooter here (two a7iii, one a7Riv, with far too many lenses). I'm heading on my first cruise in two weeks and have been debating which camera and what lenses to bring - all the while thinking I should just leave it all at home and focus on having a good time instead. (but hey, am I really being "me" if I'm not taking pictures?!?) This video has me thinking that maybe I do just leave the pro cameras home, take my S22 Ultra and use it for the few shots I want here and there and focus the rest of my time on having fun. Thank you for sharing!
I am a pro shooter as well. I would just use the smartphone. Cruises are not the ideal vacation for taking a professional camera. Enjoy your vacation!
Would have been dope if you attached a 50mm/85mm on the Galaxy on regular mode, but nevertheless awesome content as always! madd fiya
S22 ultra has a telephoto lens, you don't even need to add an additional lens to try this
@@youranonymous931 yes we know that but with those “portrait mode usually it’s assisted by computational photography, right? Main camera are usually the strongest gear
@@mrdamiansingh that is if you use portrait mode with main cam, then it uses computational photography. If you use telephoto lens, stand far from your subject, then you will get true portrait effect without computational photography
@@youranonymous931 ok bro bro whatever is clever! I don’t shoot professional work with cellphones anyways I just mention a “you should have” I couldn’t care less about this whole discussion but stay up and keep on it
@@youranonymous931 the sensor of the telephoto lens is nowhere near as good as the main lens. The telephoto in portrait mode is to give a tighter FoV overall, but the bokeh or blur is 100% AI or computational.
This is an amazing video. In the hand of a proper photographer (who had the good sense to lock the focus and dial down the exposure on S22U), S22U in several shots actually came out trumps over the Sony and that just BLOWS my mind. You should do a similar one where u use Expert RAW in S222U and run both the pics in Adobe LR on a Computer and then lets see what happens!!
This has to be the best camera review video I have ever seen!! 🔥🔥 I now love my s22 ultra so much more thanks to this 🙌 ❤️ I really am shocked at how well this phone snaps portrait sho😳😳
is it good for selphies?
@@marwafessya7774 more than good.
I have the S21fe and the portrait mode is really impressive too. Samsung doing a great job on this.
4:17 oooh ........ My gosh what the hell . It's awesome .s22 power
I used to shoot photography with Canon I am a s22 owner as well and this is probably the first video I've seen with another photographer showing this phone. all the videos you see online is iPhone iPhone there needs to be more Samsung video creators or creators using the Samsung phone with video and photography. this was really well done most of the pictures I liked the fact that you could see the side by side between a $3,000 camera basically and a phone. and I think the phone in some cases did a little better or they looked about the same but hands down to Samsung for competing with a professional camera. Samsung doesn't get the marketing love that Apple does but they make a hell of a camera. this was really well done I think you should do another shoot in a different location with a different model just for some perspective like maybe outdoors or maybe street photography or a boudoir shoot or fine art shoot
That's just amazing. Can't wait to get mine to try out the Expert RAW app on the S22 Ultra. I'm curious to how the landscape photography will be with it.
Thanks for the side-by-side comparison. It really gives evidence that the quality of work we do is not just having a great camera. Especially since many of the newer smartphones produce comparable results to mid-range pro cameras. The untrained eye of an everyday consumer would not be able to pick up the difference. Great work here by the way! I may try one of these tests myself in my old-time photo studio.
The portrait mode is crazy!! my main interest in the S22 Ultra's camera is for taking selfies and pictures of me and my friends, so I appreciate being able to really see what it's capable. Were there any presets or special settings that you did or was it really just point-and-click? :O
Its just point and click. Just set your cam to portrait mode and choose the blur filter
Great pics! It would've been a joke just a few years ago if someone suggested comparing the image quality of a smartphone to a pro digital camera, but smartphones, especially Samsung, have come a long way. The S22 is all the camera the average person would need; buying digital cameras is now mainly for photography pros/amateurs/enthusiasts.
Bro the edge detection on Galaxy is insane 😳
You should to a phone photo guide. I have subscribed.... Rarely do that after one video
Amazing job and skills! I wish I could use the cameras on this phone to the full potential like you. ❤️ Amazing 🤩
That Was Same Man I Hope This Phone goes Very Well And Samsung Also A Brand 🤗🤗🤗
😂 At the off-camera person's comment. That's like every Apple fan's excuse 😂 🙄
When the iPhone 14 comes out, and the camera is improve, then one can say the same thing about Apple 🤦. What a dumb rationale 🙄
This comment should be pinned! 😄
Yeah, same as samsung S21 and iPhone 13 series
It's a joke, i guess
Im amazed at your skills to make such beautiful portraits with a phone. Its all in you man!
@6:18, I mean its been that way since the beginning, same way when the iPhone 14 comes out, it will be competing with the S22 Ultra. You test out the best from each company so by his logic, when the 14 pro max comes out it wouldn't matter because the S22 ultra would be 7 months old.
Taking mental note to lower the exposure when taking photos with my S22 Ultra, this was awesome thanks!
I love Samsung and Apple Products. Love how the S22 did really well in dark areas. That's crazy. Phones will eventually take over my whole life.
1:37 look at the hand, it's mindblowing how S22 had done justice to the dynamic range! Even in that background wall, I still can't believe that the S22 captured darker areas as well as brighter areas, are both, better than the alpha.
Watched the pixel 6 pro n damn this s22 ultra nailed it!!
A Samsung smartphone and a Sony mirrorless camera, also my favourite team. Same goes for me together with my Sony A6000. The camera system on the S22 Ultra is indeed a true incredible piece of equipement. And i'm happy that Samsung now also has used Sony sensors same as Apple with the IPhone 13 series. This video shows that in the hands of the right persoon a S22 Ultra can easily match the quality of a point and sloot camera like for example the Sony RX-100 series or even maybe an entry level A6000 series mirroless camera. I've picked up my S22 Ultra yesterday and going to enjoy it to the max!
Great video but I would love to watch a video comparison of Samsung’s expert raw (and how it edits) compared to Apple ProRAW (and how it edits) I think that it would be berry interesting to see a comparison of these computationally enhanced raw files.
Check out jonathan casey ? I think he did a Samsung RAW vs Apple ProRes video. Samsung takes it up a notch by using RAW which keeps a lot more data than ProRes. Also apparent in the file size, samsung RAW was 5GB in 15 seconds
Gggtyt
@@therainbowpoopp I’m referring to the pictures, ProRes and ProRaw are different, still thank you for the suggestion, thankfully he just uploaded a comparison today.
This is the first time i watch your video. I love it very much. Tks you! 😍
The camera of s22 ultra is just mindblowing💥💥
Dude this was amazing! I didn't think the Samsung would hold up. Could you do this again with the S23 Ultra? And maybe do portrait video? A camera vs S23 Ultra vs Iphone 14 Pro would be an incredible video
It would be nice to see how the s22 ultra performs in other environments(outdoor)where it's more challenging.
Performs even more amazing outdoor
This was an awesome comparison
Ooh boy S22U is a beast
Damn, I'm so impressed how out of completely ordinary situations, someone with the right eye and experience can get photos that look so good.
You'd do better photos with a spoon than I will with the best equipment available. 🙃
Man ! how did u turned this location into an art ,, its amazing how u chose the poses with such a simple place ,,
regarding the s22 ultra , i honestly can't believe these photos are straight out of the phone and unedited .. they are stunning
6:20 , they came out 6 month later so they can tweak stuff ? bro that's a weak statement from whoever behind the camera , if i want to make the same argument i can too " ip 14 promax came out also 6 month later after this S22 ultra so apple can tweak stuff to beat samsung " . see the point ? Oh and also you don't need the S22 ultra to beat the ip 13 promax in potrait S21 are doing this just as good as s22 ultra and that phone is 6 month before the 13 promax so ya :) . Also SAmsung recents year has been doing fantastic in Potrait photography they are consistent with the cut out and blur compare the Google pixel or iphone.
Thanks for make this video I just love s22 ultra I am use s22 ultra in wedding couples poses 😍
I am impressed by Samsung s22
Super 😍🔥
I just got a Flip 4 and I thought my phone's camera was great, man the S22 Ultra is a beast on another level...It is truly astonishing to see how good phone cameras have become...this quality from a cell phone is unreal....
It's actually better on s22 ultra WTF
Wait wait did that voice really say cause it came out 6 months later?🤣🤣🤣 great video.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
As with most camera comparison videos on UA-cam, they didn't show close ups of the images at 100%, which is the only way to compare the amount of noise introduced by the cameras sensors. Without that, the comparison is incomplete. The closest detail this video showed was the hair to show off the Samsung feature for capturing hair detail.
Very well made comparison. Thank you!
Always Samsung has the best camera
💜WOW! I’m sold!! Exactly what I’m looking for!
At 5:47 you can see sony's BIGGEST problem. Look at the skylight. Notice how the S22 Ultra preserved more dynamic range in the sky, where sony was blown out. The a7iv is definitely more detailed, however has a horrible handle on dynamic range without bracketing. This is where Ai photography will revolutionize the way we see things. In fact, sony has a brand new Ultra Violet image sensor! This should, if paired with Ai change camera technology as we know it.
"has a horrible handle on dynamic range without bracketing". What? Bracketing is required for HDR on ANY camera. Smartphones have been doing this for a very long time. Without bracketing there is no HDR.
It’s not a problem. It’s just that it doesn’t do heavy hdr like phones do
This is just the video i needed. Getting the s22 ultra!!
S22ultra is awesome 👌
OMG!! That Galaxy Look Insane💥
S22U wins for me
You are an apple fan(me too) and yet not biased....I like the honesty 🙌🏽
SAMSUNG KILL IPHONE
Always
Really enjoyed watching my friend! 🔥🔥
5:57 suddenly the iPhone is better LOL
Nah
The edge detection of s22 ultra is just unparallel 🥵image few years now and when we get that enough computing power and we implement this level of edge detection in portrait video 😍
Never had an iphone and never will
By far the most unbiased and honest comparison, and you sparked an interest toward that Sony cam
Great to see someone who knows how to use a camera and play with exposure use this phone. Great shots, best camera phone out there right now.
Lol I can see the dislikes still. You have a really good ratio on this video. Makes sense tho, how could anyone hate on this comparison and the results. Good job! Impressive by Samsung, typing this on my S22(vanilla)
Holy moly love booth cameras. Insane how far cellphone cameras are. Great
It was very nice to see a great photographer with a smartphone. You did a fantastic job!
Video so raw I'm giving a like.
Bro, This is mental!
Very nice photos!! Great job to both of you!
Its the GREAT BAMBINO! :D great video btw. Did you use the regular camera app or the raw app?
Got me looking at my Google Pixel 6 Pro a little strange.😂 Still keeping it though but this is undeniable that Samsung has something special here.
S22 ultra really got a nice shot and ofcourse its all bec of you as a pro photographer that knows what he is doing, greatjob. wow such a powerful phone hopes i can get it too someday
Brilliant video I would love a video on how you do the exposure and how you edited the photos on some
If the pro photographer is the one who review on a photo on smartphone comparing to dslr is more like a pro comparison. Good Work indeed.
I got mine yesterday and took some shots today and I'm honestly blown away
Feeling proud to have the S22 Ultra after seeing this video it is neck to neck competition
Beast....
😳😲you are magician man you should make camera comparison videos of smartphones because you show how to use smartphone camera perfectly
I try to compare phones I’m interested in to real cameras. Made lots of videos on it. Thanks for watching :)
@LeeZavitz yes i am your subscriber and have passion for photography and i learn a lot from your videos thanks man
In some of the shots, and I have to admit it, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, did it better than the Sony Camera you used.
On the contrary, in others, the Sony was better.
In photos, no matter which condition you have, I loved when you used the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it was so close to a DSLR, just the sky on the background was not as I would like, but it was ok.
One thing I always hate as a Photographer, of Mobile Photography, is that the HDR is not quite there yet.
In many situations, it ruins the entire photography, so when I can't use my DSLR and I have to use a Mobile Phone, depending on the situation, I better use PRO Mode, so as to avoid the use of HDR, that is just turn on in Automatic Mode.
In some scenarios, HDR it's worth it, but in others it's not and like I said before, it can ruin your photo.
