The f/1.5 f/2.4 dual aperture is simply not good. At f/1.5 it's less sharp than previous Samsung phones at f/1.7 , so for better sharpness than f/1.5 one needs to use f/2.4, which is bad in average light conditions as it captures only 50% as much light as f/1.7. Therefore the main advantage of the dual aperture is likely reduced vignetting in perfect light conditions. This is important for a high dynamic range.
And is this then done by a real change of aperture, or a ND filter as some compact cameras do?
It makes quite a difference, as the ND just limits the amount of incoming light, but does not influence the DOF. (And a larger DOF has it's pros and cons depending on the motive)
i want a bigger sensor instead tbh, the processing algorithms are not bad but a better bigger sensor is the way forward, also the wide angle lens on the new Galaxies is terrible, I understand there is to be some distortion but it seems way more visible on my s10+ then it did with my Huawei mate 20 pro, it is the close ups which look horrid, far away they are fine, i took a photo of a building and a lake, the foreground and the building were distorted beyond use, i couldn't even crop any of it out as it took up the majority of the foreground of the shot I wanted
Great, now use a larger sensor like Huawei and Xiaomi are trying to do so that the variable aperture becomes an actual feature rather than a marketing gimmick.
Popy, 20 Jun 2019Finally Samsung doing some useful inovation in camerasThey have to step up their game cuase huawei is focusing on cameras and most people are loving it, its full screen and cameras right now, lets see who will be the best for this year, am down for samsung though for sure.
Now this is a great innovation in camera department and if it was allowed to controlanually it would be so great
