It is interesting, the article scores the S4 camera better overall. I haven't had a chance to use the s4 camera, but I was under the impression from some comments that the s4 camera was kind of slow to start and had some shutter lag and the gallery had issues. Can anyone comment on this?
I will say that I have seen a number of excellent photos from the S4 in the S4 forum, so it does look like it has excellent capabillites.
I am pretty thrilled with the one camera myself. It is very fast and responsive and it keeps surprising me with how good it is. After last night, I have taken over 1000 pictures with the phone in 5 weeks (and that doesn't even count the 20x shots from zoe as more than one image - they all are grouped under the same image number.)
That is crazy. I have owned nice cameras for 20 years and never took that many shots in 5 months probably, let alone 5 weeks. That number indicates just how easy, fun and rewarding the camera is to use, and as I get more familiar with it I find I am taking more pictures now than even a couple weeks ago.
If it was laggy or slow to open and use, no matter if it took marginally better pictures I doubt I would use it a fraction of what I am. Also, just think of the additional hassels (storage space, copy time, etc) of dealing with 1000 photos a month from a 13mp camera vs. a 4mp?
So I guess my comment boils down to AC rates the One the best phone even though they think the S4 has the better camera - that says a lot about the other attributes of the One. Honestly, the camera is my favorite feature of the One and is the biggest reason I bought it.
I will just leave these here as well -
Thankfully the competition is so so close.
