Looking for opinions on this particular usage scenario. My wife uses her phone professionally, and although she uses a DSLR for serious work, she does use her phone for point-and-shoot work (Instagram, etc.). She's currently on a Nexus 5 which is insufficient and she's looking at the Note 7. How good is the camera for speed and ease of use?
I think, most, if not all of us, mere mortal, can't answer that yet as the only Note 7 on the streets right now are for reviewers or just Samsung or Carrier's employees and I don't see too many of them posting around here.
BUT, the Camera and sensor on the Note 7 is the same than the one on the S7 and S7 edge so taking that in consideration, the camera is basically universally acclaimed as the best on the market for any phone right now. Camera speed is one of it's best features, just double click the home button and it opens and it's ready to shoot in about a second.
Do a google search for Galaxy S7 or S7 edge camera and you will have your answers about the Note 7's one.
