Thank you David!

As far as video, you are correct, the iPhone is ahead! I'm excited to see how the S25 Ultra LOG compares to the iPhone's LOG.

@poivre. Thank you! Looking forward to the new Nvdia video cards

@bidochon2009 Thanks! I'm glad my video was helpful!

I look forward to making a lot of content in 2025. I'll make a note of your request!

For Photography, I highly recommend anything Sony or Nikon if you are interested in a DSLR or Mirrorless. The Nikon Z5 is a great option or Sony a6600 is quite popular too! Let me know if you have any more questions or any specific Photography needs.

@@MassimosFotografie What about fuji xt5 actually i need very sharp photos more detailed photos Should i go for i phone 16 pro vs fuji xt5 vs nikon z5 vs sony a6600 ?

@MassimosFotografie actually i see a lots of videos i phone 16 pro vs camera but i do not see as much difference i want that kind of camera that make me feel is far better than i phone 16 pro

@@syed.farhan_7 If you want to view your Photos on a Smartphone, then sure, you could get an iPhone, you won't see much of a difference on a smaller screen. But if you view your content on a larger screen, there is definitely a difference that you see. The pixel quality of a Larger Sensor Camera is better than on a Smartphone. Perhaps in a few years Smartphones will catch up to Larger Cameras.

@kencabeen7786 You're very welcome! There are lots of amazing power banks out there by now. The one that I show in this video, the price may have dropped too by now

@@MassimosFotografie Yes! Just don't remind me of the price drop principle regarding the Z8 I just bought! LOL!

@kencabeen7786 Cheers 🍻 😁

Hi Warren and thank you! I have not reviewed the Pixel 9 Pro XL, but I have read quite a lot about it. In the future I will hopefully also review other Smartphone brands, including the Google Pixel Sartphones. I believe that you can't go wrong either way, but in overall I find that the Pixel 9 Pro XL produces better photo/video quality and a more natural look, whereas the Galaxy S24 Ultra produces a more processed look. Of course the Galaxy will have its advantages too, like 4K 120 FPS, but I think it's fair to conclude that the Pixel 9 Pro XL is the overall better performer when it comes to photo/video. I'd recommend to check out DxOMark or TomsGuide for instance. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@@Corruptinator It's not late at all! You are right. The Topaz Software is exceptional

@MassimosFotografie I forgot to mention this but as of Topaz Video AI version 5.4 it now has Hyperion SDR to HDR model converter allowing any SDR recorded footage or video to be converted into HDR. I wonder if flat profile footages will benefit that?

@Corruptinator I haven't done such a conversation, but I imagine it could provide a benefit? I plan on using Topaz Software in bthebfuture for Smartphone content to see if it can help Smartphone content to get closer to Large Camera content.

That's very strange! These Wasabi batteries are some of the best batteries that I've ever used even to this day. Also, what the overwhelming majority of users have shared with me would suggest that these batteries are great. Is your Grip itself also 3rd party or just the batteries?

Just the battery the grip is Nikon. But yeah the batteries rattle around in the grip and loose contact. Never had this problem with OEM batteries.

@@acedoguh60 Thank you for the clarification! It's the first time I believe that I've heard about this specific issue. Original Grip combined wih 3rd party battery. I wouldn't want to give you false advice. But these Wasabi batteries are really great. Wasabi also makes batteries for the GoPro for example. I've used those for years too without any issues.

@rcl99tlr65 I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for your kind comment 😊 I haven't tested what the latest Firmware update might or might not do. But keep in mind that the newest Firmware could potentially do something to the 3rd party grip. Look into it if you consider updating the Firmware

@MassimosFotografie will do thank you for the heads up!

@rcl99tlr65 You're very welcome! I've had my D850 with up to the second latest Firmware and no issues with rhe 3rd Party Grip, but not the newest Firmware. So I wanted to make sure for you :)

If you can get a D810 for $600, I would jump on that rigth away!

@@MassimosFotografiei can find used d810 for way less than 600$ in Vietnam bro

The reason why the camera may capture less photos than you set up is if you enable Exposure Smoothing. Turn it off and try again. Also, you could enable Interval priority. Is there a lot of light pollution, or are you capturing a very, very long timelapse, why is your interval between 30 seconds and 1 minute, I'm curious

@@kbruff2010 You are very welcome!

LR Timelapse deservedly retains its reputation as possibly the best solution for Timelapse editing! When I have the time, I'd love to make a video about it

Thank you, I'm glad my video was helpful ☺

@@voiceitone1271 Thank you! I always try and think of ways to make my videos more interesting 😊

Definitely more balanced 😊

Hi JayBeeBeeR! I find that MrWhoseTheBoss often takes a more philosophic approach rather than a purely objective approach with the raw data for the viewers to evaluate themselves. I am not suggesting that he is misleading viewers deliberately, but I think that when reviews/comparisons are done in a certain way they can be misleading at times. I think MrWhoseTheBoss is a charming and likeable individual, and I watch a lot of his videos. His videos are great! When it comes to his Camera comparisons though, I find that his approach can sometimes be questionable, and I don't like when the photo file details are not shown. To his defense, he does compare other aspects of the Smartphones too whereas I only look at the Cameras. These videos require a lot of time and a lot of verifying. I saw his comparison of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra. Which part are you referering to? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rISsk6mAd5mKmqs 13:17 that part? And btw, thanks for your kind comment. I put a tremendous amount of time into my content and making sure my conclusions are as accurate as possible.

@flinze2001 Hmm I'm not sure what you mean?

That's basically what we are looking at haha I started my Smartphone reviews/comparisons with the iPhone and Galaxy given that they are the two most popular brands in the USA. But I honestly think that there may be other Smartphone's like the Huawei Pura or Google Pixel that may have more consistent photo/video performances by now. Perhaps one day I will start reviewing those too, let's see

@@MassimosFotografie yeah fine... But at the end of the day no phone is perfect... But still am MAD at phones 😂

@Phoneman-p9j Facts! Personally, I'll be happy once Smartphones can produce large Camera image quality ha

@@MassimosFotografie yes.. me too...

@@Phoneman-p9j I don't know how often you travel with Photography gear, but it can be such a headache. Due to the batteries, you can't check a lot of the Photography equipment in your checked bags. What's happened to me more than once was.. my camera carry-on bag was filled with equipment and all sorts of batteries, and they forced me to check my camera carry-on in, because the plane was so small (despite my ticket including a carry-on bag). I had to stuff equipment in my already packed backpack and carry things in my hands... A Smartphone goes right in your pocket lol

I think that's a fair point! I've noticed that with a lot of over-sharpening, for instance in the example in my video here when I take photos in daylight with the Selfie Cameras. Or when capturing video, I have noticed odd white balance sometimes.

You can turn off the processing on samsung

@@cardrive4053 if you turn it off, images and videos looks pretty bad for a flagship.

Hi, I just quickly captured a RAW with Pro Photo and then with Expert RAW and pulled them up in Lightroom. I noticed that the Pro Photo one had more Contrast, but when applying Adjustments I don't necessarily see one RAW having a better or worse Dynamic Range. Check this out: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QzBe3tbwiUUdXs9Go2B5gmVWSIPrV3VC?usp=sharing

@@MassimosFotografie Thanks I meant 'editability' i.e. being able to push exposure more without artifacts. I am testing this on my gf's S24 Plus and the Pro mode edits like a classic RAW from camera with a huge dynamic range and without color artifacts.

@@bLaffix Smartphone processing can definitely come with some nasty artifacts. I haven't done a deep dive on that yet. As far as comparing the RAW from Pro Photo Mode vs. Expert RAW, I find it interesting what you have pointed out. I definitely see a difference in how the images are captured. When opening shadows, decreasing highlights, measuring the Dynamic Range however, I don't see a significant difference in Dynamic Range. I did notice a significant difference in file size though! That has to mean something, right? What I did was a quick handheld test though, no tripod was used. Perhaps in my next in-depth review/comparison I will take a closer look at this! Thanks for pointing this out

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean? Can you explain ;) Thanks

@@MassimosFotografie So few differences that 16 pro max is not the next generation, but just improved (but with worse UW lens)15 pro max ->15S Pro Max) :)

@@ryiSydudin7451 Very true!

Thank you for watching my video and your kind comment! I completely agree with what you said. The 3X Camera is argubly in a greater need of an Upgrade than the Wide Angle Camera. They already sort of copied Apple by replacing the 10X Camera with the 5X Camera, and the 5X Camera did more good than bad I'd say. The Max Zoom is not quite like the 10X of the S23 Ultra, but the Low Light Performance Upgrade is quite significant. I will gladly welcome any step forward with the new Wide Angle Camera on the S25 as long as it doesn't come with any sort of major downside like on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. As far as video, any sort of Log Profile would be quite nice! Now imagine Samsung delivering all of the mentioned with the S25 Ultra ;)

I will definitely get the S25 Ultra and review and compare it with the S24 Ultra and 16 Pro Max!

That will be a 2025 phone. Wait until the 17 Pro Max (2025 phone) to compare with the s25 Ultra ;)

@@JayBeeBeeR I will definitely review and compare those Smartphones as well!

Unfortunately, the Nikon D3300 does not appear to support installing custom Picture Profiles.

The Dynamic Range of the Z8 is tremendous enough so we have enough flexibility to edit and manipulate one single RAW photo. I don't find myself using the HDR Overlay Mode too often. I wish Nikon would allow to merge multiple RAW files into a "Super RAW file" like we can do in Adobe Lightroom for instance.

Good question! I would say, inevitably everyone will use their Smartphone or Camera in low light, hence why it makes perfect sense to test and compare low light situations as well. I'm currently working on my iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. Galaxy S24 Ultra Camera comparison. You'd be surprised how significantly the video quality can vary in low light when changing the video frame rate from 30 fps to 60 fps. What it comes down to for a lot of people is, which Smartphone or Camera is more consistent across different scenarios.

Thank you, I'm glad my video was helpful 😊

Hi Donald. Are you saying that the 3rd party parts work and you were able to unlock the 9 fps, but you have to occasionally remove and reseat the grips battery so it works again?

If you can get the D810 for that low, I would not hesitate for one second, because for Photography the D810 is a phenomenal camera!!

Yes!

@@fotoshooter_ch Thank you!

@biorythmicshifter 🤣🤣🤣 I've been told this joke more than once haha

A general CPU speed test, or a speed test of how fast each camera can take full resolution photos?

I mean like boot up speed ., App opening speed and at last ram management...Bro Can you make it bro??

@harinisha4747 I understand! The challenge is, because my iPhone 15 Pro Max has more data and more apps on it, it wouldn't be a fair comparison. I would have to wipe both iPhone's for a fair comparison. What I can tell you is that the iPhone 16 is faster than the iPhone 15 Pro Max per Geekbench. And the 16 Pro Max is faster than the iPhone 16 of course. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is already a good and fast Smartphone though. I don't think upgrading to the iPhone 16 is necessary if you already have an iPhone 15.

@@chrisak49 Yeah, it's a disappointment for sure.. Given the circumstances, I think Samsung has a good opportunity to step up with its upcoming Galaxy S25 Lineup to make all Cameras more consistent

@@MassimosFotografieSamsung hasn’t been able to do that ever, what makes you think this will be their year?? The camera /processing on the s24U is about as bad as it can get and they’ve had promise of an update that will “fix everything “ for months now and haven’t delivered, typical Samsung…at this point they’ll just release the s25 and forget about the disappointing s24

@@robhughes8516 Hey Rob! First of all, I imagine the S25 lineup would be released some time in January/February of 2025. I imagine Samsung is aware of the underwhelming S24 lineup. I also imagine that if they release 2 generations back to back with underwhelming upgrades and ultimately sales, it won't be good for them financially speaking. I am in complete agreement with you that the S24 was underwhelming. I use the S24 Ultra as my main phone. I find myself using the iPhone a lot more for photos/videos, and whenever I've used the S23 Ultra for Comparisons, I like the S23 Ultra better... While the S23 Ultra retains better Max Zoom capabilities over the S24 Ultra and the iPhone's, the S24 Ultra did come with a higher MP and better low light capability on the S24 Ultra with its new Tele Camera.
