Is lower aperture better or the higher the better?Samsung Galaxy S7 vs iPhone 7: Camera
Samsung's camera tech is pretty impressive and capable, while also being extremely easy to use and get good results for even the most inexperienced and non-camera-savvy users. It features a 12MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture size, an optical image stabilisation (OIS) module, dual-LED two-tone flash, and Samsung's amazing dual-pixel phase detection autofocus.
It remains to be seen how well Apple's camera tech performs, but this is where the most advanced changes on the iPhone 7 series have taken place. The standard iPhone 7 model features a 12MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, OIS, an updated 6-element lens, a quad-LED TrueTone LED flash with flicker sensor (for capture in artificial lighting), and a new image signal processor. For the larger iPhone 7 Plus model things get even more involved as it has two 12MP sensors in a dual-sensor setup; one sensor has a telephoto lens and the other a wide-angle lens; combining all the image data for a much more detailed image as standard, but also allowing for a x2 optical zoom and 10x software zoom, and Bokeh depth-of-field effects.
1.7 is better than 1.8 in as it lets in a tad more light. The smaller the aperture number the more light reaches the sensor.Is lower aperture better or the higher the better?
I've got the Galaxy s7, my wife got her iPhone 7 plus today and I've been playing with the dual cameras on hers and taking photo comparisons with my s7. Have to say her camera is fantastic and as good as mine and in some ways better. It really is awesome
Is the camera focus as fast? I read that the dual camera is for a telephoto mode. How is the quad LED flash compared to the flash on the S7?
That's true in any optical vs digital zoom argument. I've always wondered with optical zoom never became a thing. It was tried long ago with the N93. The Galaxy Camera was great though, it was just too bulky.The zoom lens on the iPhone is great for those kinds of shots so you don't have to zoom in and lose detail
