I love your channel and content! The one thing I would point out is it's easier to get blown out water highlights if there's much sun out. Even cloudy days are preferable. Again, you do a fabulous job of breaking down the whole electronic / digital stuff, and I'm convinced you nailed it all! Great job and analysis, Brent!

S24 has the ND filter feature as well. Pretty cool although the optival has dropped to 5x (although they show 10x)
@Callum719697 ай бұрын
Although it has dropped, it's supposed to be a higher quality lens meaning you have more room to crop the photo to what would look like a 10x shot but with more detail . at least thats what samsung claims

It might be too late but Samsung offers some seriously good deals on their new phones if you 'preorder' before the release. Most of the value comes from the trade-in values. What I'll say about this video is those of us without the special case and filters will need to keep a close eye on the retail costs as no doubt they'll do a bit of price cutting once the 24 stuff is out there. Hopefully 🙂

S23 has also looking exposure but as you can see this is king exposure without picture coming out to bright. If you normal long exposure the picture will come out very bright

They said the best camera gear is that you always have with you, but.. Im an oldtimer coming from SLRs to DSLRs to mirrorless cameras, and for me a phone is not a camera I want to use. Its just a phone, doing what a phone tradicionally are supposed to do. ;-)

You said yourself... an old-timer...😢
@neilmackey96265 ай бұрын
Another "old timer" chiming in... I do a lot of adventure motorcycle riding and simply got tired of hauling around a camera bag with the body and related gear. I used to shoot a Nikon Z5 and to save having to haul extra lenses, I got an 18-300 Nikkor "walk-around" lens. Even then, with extra batts, filters, an adequate tripod, etc., still too much gear to comfortably haul around, especially on longer trips. I had an Samsung S22U and recently updated to an S24U. Now, true, the phone camera will NOT take the same quality photos that a DSLR or a mirrorless will...to claim otherwise would be a bald-faced lie! However, recognizing (and accepting ) some of the limitations with the phone camera, I'm quite happy with about 90% of the shots I take with the phone. MUCH more portable, I already have it with me anyway and I've also "accessorized". I'm using a Shiftcam ProGrip which makes the phone more manageable in my large hands. I also got the actual Samsung filter mount and use a dual-purpose 72mm 1-5 stop variable ND and CPL filter. Haven't tried the ExpertRAW bulit-in ND filter yet (wasn't available in ExpertRAW for the S22U but is for the S24U), so we shall see. Do I miss my mirrorless? Of COURSE I do! But, instead of throwing up my hands and just commiting scenes to my memory, I've simply adapted and still enjoying taking and looking at some great shots... Another excellent video, Brent...good to see you! 🥳

Thanks for putting some thoughts in your videos about the S23 Ultra. I bought the S23 Ultra few months ago without really looking into the photography features (I was just looking for a damn phone lol), kinda a shame I did not dig into it sooner and seeing those nice little update that Samsung are slipping in and having someone to test them out and gives feedback on a pro level is saving me times to go out and test myself :) Cheers!

And now.. you ended up with the Best Phone on the Market :) Btw as you sayed its not "a tiny update" by samsung about the built in NDFilters :)))) its actualy maby the biggest and best thing that they did to the bult in s23 ultra camera. You have ( S23ultra) the Best mobile Camera exist in a mobiles phones today. So use it :) P.s stik with the S23 ultra and dont "" upgrade" to the S24 ultra. In my opinion. Its not an upgrade at all but actualy the oposite. You have the king s23 ultra. You have it all already . A pro gaming phone, a Pro camera . And a superman Strong fastest phone exist. Enjoy🎉

I traded in my s22 for an s24 ultra and got 750$ for the s-22(Canadian dollar). My S-22 was like brand new when I peeled the screen protector and the case. Thanks for the ND filter that I did not know. I bought filter cages and cases from Neweer Cage and Freewell Cases. I like the cage and have the smallrig universal cage, unfortunately, they don't make it for Samsung. I found only Neweer makes cages for Samsung S-24 Ultra and bought their filter sets. Bought a Freewell case and an Anamorphic lens with a filter set. but Freewell lenses don't to other backplates, otherwise bought only one company's products. Thanks for the video. still needs to know this and that.

I hear the new s24 ultra is quite an improvement over the s22 ultra. I'm on the fence about getting the new one. Another great video, and I'm jealous of the 60-degree temperature. It's been below zero for a few days around here. Wind chills between -25 to -40 below. Can't wait to see a video with Brittany's new phone.

I'm seeing on X and YT that the camera is not much of an improvement and it's got some issues. It's got overexposure and highlight issues + worse telephoto. Imo camera system doesn't perform as good as iPhone 15pm or pixel.

Hi Brent I'm having some issues with pro mode on my S23U It's over exposing the sky and blowing it all out making the image unusable. Normal mode no problem Should I be using expert raw and the ND filter function?
@BrentHall2 ай бұрын
Sounds like it's just a high dynamic range scene, which most cameras struggle with unless they have built in HDR mode, like the normal mode on phones. Pro mode doesn't have an HDR feature for the raw part, only the jpeg processing. So you either need to just use the normal mode or learn how to exposure bracket with pro mode and blend them together in post.

I have the s22 ultra. Bummer that I don't have this feature. Maybe an upgrade down the road. Pretty sweet what this series of galaxies do. Hey I have an off subject of video question. I want to ask someone that o look up to as a wildlife photographer and who already either owns or has used the r6 mk.2 and the r5. I love my r6mk2 and shoot wildlife mostly predator birds. My question I have been always thinking I should have got the r5. So if your out on a late day getting say an eagle at around 50 to 75 yards lense might be the 100 to 500 or whatever. Light is perfect and you get your shot. Am I going to look at the picture and be like oh my gosh the r5 just blows away the r6mk2. Is there that big of a difference in image quality? I understand the cropping benefit. I really think the r6 mk.2 does fine. Just wanted your opinion. No hurry. Thanks Brent
@BrentHall8 ай бұрын
IMHO, the R5 certainly doesn't blow the R6II away for IQ, but the extra res for cropping is nice. That's about it. Otherwise the R6II is way better for AF than the R5.

@BrentHall thanks so much for getting back with me. I think I'm just going to hang on to my r6 mk.2 and grab that rf 200mm to 800mm asap. I really want to start working with my galaxy S22 ultra. It blows me away the images you get with these galaxies S- series.

since you take photos in raw, how often do you have to clear photos off your phone to make more room? I have an older phone (so less storage) but my phone is almost full and I can't take anything else off it to get it smaller but I still have a micro sd so I store photos on that; however, when I do pro mode it uses up that memory way faster. It seems like as the years go on, the apps just get bigger and so do the photos and they make you pay a ton for more storage b/c they took away the cheap option of a micro sd card. I'll be interested in your S24 Ultra reviews b/c i really need a new phone...just not sure I'll stick with Samsung or not :)
@BrentHall8 ай бұрын
I actually don't usually do any real photography with my phone, other than normal personal/family pics and IG stories, etc., since I pretty much always have one of my mirrorless cameras with me. The only time I use Pro Mode and keep the RAW images is when I'm doing a video for KZbin, otherwise I just use the regular mode. I do take all the images off my phone at least once a year and put them on my PC or backup hard drive for storage, so I've never had any space issues with phone images.
