My current (until Saturday) iPhone has been giving me grief, freezing up for no reason when I'm using the camera. So on Saturday we drove into Owen Sound and checked out phones. I'd been reading the reviews and had my eye on the top-of-the-line Samsung, the Samsun Galaxy Ultra S22, which is reputed to have the better camera, considerably better than the corresponding iPhone 13. Nothing that the clerk said changed that opinion. In particular, Samsung has a much better telephoto/zoom function, something that would really help me sitting in a wheelchair and unable to get close to many subjects as I'd like to.
So I went out into the garden to test it, and here are the results.
We have a beautiful delicate Clematis with tiny white blooms that is just starting to flower, here growing up a trellis in front of the Sugar Maple tree.
Petunias at the front door, from 30 feet.
The flowerhead and two flowers on a succulent in the front garden.
Seems your phones camera is working great!!
ReplyDeleteI have a samsun phone too but mine isn't as new as yours. It is the only camera I have!
These are excellent examples of a much better zoom than my iPhone (12 I think) It's not the very latest. But I'm stuck with it for now. Congrats on improving your photo functions! Looking forward to what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous. I have a photographer friend who bought one of those phones because of the camera and he loves it too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! The close-ups are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing photos and like Marie, I think the close-ups are incredibly beautiful. I have a old Samsung now (I think an S9). I may have to rethink getting an older model next time and splurging a bit. A cell phone is definitely easier to carry than the Canon.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I was just saying today that my iPhone takes good pictures except for things like birds because the zoom is not as good as my 35mm camera’s.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you chose well, hope it gives you years of photography pleasure. The improvements in electronics and their rapidity is nothing short of astounding. The newer top-of-the-line cameras will find a bird's eye, focus on it, and keep focus on the eye as the bird flies.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you got much better than you thought.
ReplyDeleteFantastic beyond what I had thought it would do.These are outstanding, every one.A very good choice, and so good the salesman could not change your decision.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new camera/phone. The results so far are quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteThat’s impressive. You’d have to go with the 13 pro to get a similar (maybe) telephoto. Do you find switching systems difficult? You are probably more tech savvy that I, so it is probably not difficult for you.
ReplyDeleteNew phones are always fun. Looks like this one takes great photos! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteI have always been impressed with smart phone photos and your photos are an example of that..
ReplyDeleteVery good photos. You obviously got the right phone for you ( in spite of the salesman).
ReplyDeleteThe new phone is doing an excellent job. It looks like the quality is great and you have a lot of flexibility to get a lot of different shots. Glad it worked out for you.
