A couple of pics from my hotel room at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. One daylight and one night time. Photos were not edited and camera set on automatic.

Does anyone know why all my photos are shown upside down on this forum and if there's a way to fix it so i can post them without you folks having to flip your screens?!!

Oh and happy new year!

Happy New Year 2018 Guys and Gals!

As always, untouched, uncropped, all manual, all handheld.

It's obvious that mobile phones still have issues with low light and noise, but for outdoor photos, they are brilliant!

First attempt at some night shots. Not sure I could have found a more challenging situation.

Wow those are amazing. Are those from the v30? Would you like to elaborate on how you got those shots?

I have the v30+, and as a longtime Samsung user I've been unimpressed with the camera. I never needed to do anything more than point and shoot before and would get some stunning photos much of the time.

My experience with v30 has been mostly bad or blurry photos with the occasional random stunner.

Maybe I need more practice or learn more stability or the controls. I would prefer not to have to go.manual all the time though because on Galaxy S6 Edge phone and S4 I rarely did manual but almost ways got great shots.

V30 is not a great auto shooter. Pixel, followed by note 8 (I have both) will always be better.

But the V30 is my favorite. The wide angle is a game changer. Makes for impossibly beautiful compositions. And with a bit of editing in Lightroom you can match the pixel's photo quality in final output.

You need to put in more work with the v30 but there is reward.

Hmmm ok thanks. I bought this phone for the quad DAC, which is wonderful. I care alot about sound. I've purchased numerous very expensive audiophile-grade brand headphones, and stupidly expensive portable amp/DAC to physically tether to smartphones, which is very unwieldy, to get the kind of soup d I now get just from the v30+ device itself.

Along the way though two features that I took for granted on previous devices surprised me.

The battery life. Incredible on v30. I thought battery life would just be crap across the board on all devices. This phone barely even sips any battery during a 12 hour work day of light use,with always on display off.

The camera. Very challenging on v30, for me. I'm so used to getting memories saved on screen, with amazing and rich colors and quality, with no effort or thought whatsoever. Just point at any random thing and marvel at what you got, in automatic mode.

Will have to give a try to more many settings but won't have time to edit photos in post.

Thanks! Yes, took these right after I got my V30, just to see how it performed, and believe it or not, they were all on full auto too!

I've experienced some blur with moving objects, just like I did with my V20, but have to say the low light performance for me has been fantastic.

One hint I've found for low light is turn off HDR. Unless you have a tripod or are more steady handed than me, HDR will give me a less clear pic.

In fact I don't use HDR at all with the stock app. If I want a really good HDR shot I switch to the Google camera app.
