Just want to apologize for the slower uploads as of late. I've been dedicated to making sure these photography related videos have the highest quality of pictures possible. If you want to support the channel and replicate the editing style of those orange Mclaren photos (at 3:33) you can pick up my preset module from www.evanranft.com/store/preset and apply the preset formula below. I feature various preset formulas in these videos and on my social media to help you get an accurate breakdown of how edits were made and receive long term value from the product. Orange Mclaren formula - Preset 10 - Color boost 2 - Colors 6

I didn't think that the flip phones were aimed for photography, but more for phone calls and productivity. I though that the S line was aimed more for photography. But I would recommend finding an ND filter to use on the phone, to let the programing readjust for specific situations. That's just a though and maybe some suggestions, I can be wrong.

[@thegamingbegginers5777]

Just watches oppo's trailer of flip3, massive canera improvement. I always thought my flip 4 has the biggest drawbacks in terms of camera department. Really appreciate oppo for doing it

[@SPIKE3725]

@thegamingbegginers5777 but the thing is oppo, and a lot of other phones don't get released in the United States. There are phones that are banned from coming into the United States because they are a Chinese manufactured phone company or the manufacturer outside of China only release there phones in the European market and don't sell it in the United States. But I understand what you mean. There are better phones with better cameras, but a lot of them don't get released in the United States.

[@thegamingbegginers5777]

@SPIKE3725 they're not gonna let that happen these companies like apple funds the governments. If the chinese phone manufacturer gets to US apple and any other smartphone sales gonna suffer. You know u can a phone with top of the line snapdragon 8gen 2 in under 450$ in India.

[@SPIKE3725]

@thegamingbegginers5777 ya, probably, and I have noticed that phones are a but overpriced in the US

[@dremoola]

I have this phone as well. Love it. I don't use it for photography because that's what my camera is for but I love it for phone related things. Would love to see you do film street photography

[@denischiosa4496]

plan to buy this one because of the compactness, but as a owner of a google pixel phone I was interested to have decent photos as well, your video proved this. Thank you!

[@chewbacca90210]

I just got this phone and so far love it and it's so fun to use. For casual photos I'm fine with this phone but if I'm traveling or going to an event I'll use my S23 Ultra. Also got my Sony A7III.

[@PittsburghSonido]

Why do you have two phones

[@bssdwnsntn]

@@PittsburghSonido one for the plug and one for the load

[@elcamino6409]

​@PittsburghSonido you arent inspired by 2 phone baby keem??

[@training7574]

Very much to the point, thanks!

[@Aperfumeaddict]

I love this phone and I’m a die hard  fan. I love how compact it is and the build is solid. I still have my iPhone as well but i feel if the next release upgrades the cameras I’m sold! Everything i could want out of a phone is here. Great video by the way.😊

[@v1deo.hunter.d317]

Is it better for selfie than the s line? Because you can use the rear camera to take selfie with the outer screen

[@ljacobs357]

For most amateur users, the cameras are fine. What is better is one can use the cover screen to take selfies using the front lens. Fare better quality than other cameras.

[@MelAlstonJr]

Could this be comparable to a GoPro? That's my idea about it because of the cover.

[@peetje28021970]

What lens on the sl2 Evan?

[@I-come-from-the-Future]

It is very important to mention that the tripod mode only takes portrait mode pictures. So the camera has to be placed further away if you want to crop it to get a horizontal horizontal 16:9 or 4:3 horizontal. So then not only is your motive due to the larger distance with less resolution, you also only have the lesser vertical resolution now as horizontal.

[@robbyrob0723]

I dumped my s23 and bought a Sony rx100 m7 also an m50 m2. But. I can carry the Sony and my flip in my front pickets. Never again will I buy a cell phone for the cameras.

[@skyband9235]

Drop your preset link pls

[@rolmag8394]

I was a die hard iPhone user for years. I got this Flip 5 and not only did I have to get used to using a droid, but alternating the settings on it as well. I'll admit that I haven't taken tons of pics with it, as of yet, but given the fact that I have a trip to S. Korea coming up, I am interested in how the shots will come out. I'm going back and forth on whether I should get a smaller camera to take pictures on (I don't want to be "the tourist" when I'm there). Anyone have any suggestions on what would be best?

[@cooolinoff]

just went to the Philippines last month and I brought my G7xII, which was perfect with the quality, size, video button and zoom (for me). only downside was PH was rainy, so I had to rely on my iPhone 12 pro most of the time

[@justinkanwischer9466]

Let me know how your flip performs :) I want to switch from I phone too

[@rolmag8394]

@@justinkanwischer9466 I really love the phone. I think I was just getting bored of the iPhone and when I saw the Flip, I knew I wanted that one, immediately. Give it a try.

[@dirtydirtsgt4751]

You should test the S line

[@iiichan]

Camera set-up in your samsung phone? Or adjustment use in pro mode ?

[@iiichan]

Please drop your lightroom presets thaaank you siiir

[@user-nu1ut6fn6d]

I want to upgrade from my iPhone 12 to the flip 5. Are the cameras (picture and video) comparable? I just don’t want a downgrade, I’m fine if they are the same 😅

[@purifixcleaningbali2793]

I am not happy with the flip 5 camera. For video , it will be dark /noise. Wide angle is not wide enough. Try it.

[@jamkutie]

The S line i.e S23 ultra is where you'll find the bells and whistles. This phone main focus is decent cameras and the Samsung flip functionality and UI. So I can adjust what your question no it won't replace professional photography lol and it doesn't need to either let's be honest

[@sebastiankarate7744]

All of my pictures are looking like negatives, any help

[@kchiafulio]

please try the pixel 8 pro if you havent. Mobile cameras are my lean-to and would love input from someone who seems truly impartial.

[@HenkBartl]

It’s practical but as someone who rather carries a camera I am good.

[@JulioBomfim]

When photographing with the smartphone bent at 90⁰ is it possible to use the lower part of the screen for framing or just the upper part as shown in the video??? It would be an interesting "shoot from the hip" experience.

[@RoamwithRome]

Yes! You can flip the viewfinder to the lower half. Comes in clutch for certain angles

[@stormchasercurtisbailey2692]

I have an android and getting ready to get another phone but having trouble deciding do i want another android snart phone or i phone i use my phone occasionally for making videos and photography this video was a good one for me gave me some ideas in a way so yes i would like more still trying to decide before i go get another one which is better i phone or android

[@corykphotography]

Brother, my Google Pixel 7 Pro is actually quite awesome. Only thing with good camera phones, there is a lot of computational things going on. But your test shots are great man.

[@martibenakova]

Do you try a macro photos? Its terrile to cafch good and sharp macro detail. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@natianatia5322]

How I can turn off off ultra wide in the camera?

[@twesterguard88]

There might a be setting or mode in the camera app itself that you can switch on/off. Not sure tho lol

[@rdos8883]

I dont think foldable phones are meant for photography. They are for those who want powerful yet compact phone. 😊

ive got this phone its very fast , and the cam is crazy good

[@RanftEvan]

It’s pretty cool!

[@TheAseanPrince]

@@RanftEvan yes! It gives off nostalgia vibes too

[@elialaland]

Zflip5 takes raw pics? :o

[@AdamKaiser.]

I traded the Flip5 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max because although I prefer android os and love Samsung devices the biggest downsides to the Flip5 that made it unbearable for me were the fact that the main screen was way too narrow making watching videos and general use for large sized hands like myself too difficult and the phone looked comical in my hands and the other issue was the visible bend not only could you see it but you could feel it like a speed bump on a smooth road

[@kirstendy5587]

How about the camera? Compared to your iphone 15 pro max now?

[@AdamKaiser.]

@@kirstendy5587 The camera on the Flip5 is really good but the IPhone 15 Pro Max is miles better in terms of camera and a step up from the S23 Ultra.

[@acgamingandentertainment958]

From someone who is coming from the s20 fe this camera looks astounding 😂😂

[@muhammadkhairani2839]

Can you share the photo presets? Looks really cool

I think it was the Galaxy S9 that had a variable aperture.

[@judeemclaughlin7394]

I've been considering returning to android (currently use an iPhone 13) my reasons have nothing to do with photography. I want as much info as possible before I switch. Did you do any low light tests?

[@RanftEvan]

That was one thing I didn’t really get to yet, I want to use it a little more. I’d imagine it’s fine but based on everything I saw for this video I wouldn’t expect anything ground breaking especially if you’re using raw

[@kchiafulio]

i like you.

[@adden2242]

the Flip 5 here int he Philippines is very very expensive !! I just cant.. 😆😅

[@camilletan6826]

Flip phone + good camera = PERFECT But meanwhile, Z Flip 5's camera SUCKS.

[@RanftEvan]

Haha I really didn’t think to was that bad. Definitely room for improvement

Yeah. My a71 would fight for a camera to compare.. 64mp main. 32mp selfie..

[@nancynga6820]

The camera zoom (Z Flip 4) photos are terrible. The screen lasted for 2 years before it separated at the crease. Longer than I expected.

Apple has been sketching out blueprints of foldable phones, that's the rumor. It'd a thing, it's still beta, but eventually it'll be a norm. That large screen phones are coming to an end.

[@sneekapim]

If you want a real good photography image ... get a real camera. You are complaining on a very high horse ... It's still just a effing phone ... But for a smartphone of these modern days, I like how you just can tuck it away so small. Ngl. It's awesome. Just don't fold it as long as you don't really need to . Be careful with the folding screen.
