Is the camera any better?

[Casey Cheung]

No. Cost is too high. It will leave me with nothing for the Note. That's the one I really want.

For the cost of that new phone, you can buy a.................REAL camera!

Yeah, but you can only shoot photos/video on a "real" camera. No apps, browser, email, messaging, calls, etc on a standalone camera.

I shoot a pic or video with a real camera. Then use an SD card reader to transfer the image/video file directly to my Note 10+ phone, then do whatever such as post editing, sharing, emailing, etc.

I can also use the Canon Connect smartphone app whereby the image/video goes directly to my phone so I can see in real time for taking pictures or videos remotely via wifi. But I find the app to be temperamental so I don't use it much.

Actually there are some nice slim/compact mirrorless cameras that would do the trick small enough to keep in small pocket in a backpack and just tap against your phone for NFC xfer or wifi. The phone camera can serve some general purpose but pull out the mirrorless for the shots you really care about. Not like lugging a Nikon N2020 and lenses when I was younger.

I still have a compact pocket Samsung camera from several years ago that has NFC and Wifi transfer. I don't know why Samsung stopped making compact cameras.

I'm eying the regular s20 and thinking of splurging on the sony rx100 m7 portable camera and putting an end to the cameras weighing a heavy hand in my phone choices.

It is but trade in not as bad

So true. Minus the lens, bag and other accessories I bought a Canon DSLR for a little over the 512 Ultra model.

The trade in makes it an awesome deal. But I want to keep my N10+ as backup. I really like it plus it's base storage is 256.

Yeah...some of us fully understand that but reality is the average person doesn't want to do that today. Everyone has a smart phone with them at all times and it's just plain easier to deal with. I've got DSLRs and mirrorless camera in all shapes and sizes and some pocket point and shoots but rarely bring them along except for certain occasions.

I just wanted to clarify my issue with the Samsung cameras and movement. I am not talking about trying to take action shots indoors or even pictures of my kids jumping around, I would not expect any smart-phone camera to cope with this. I am talking about even the slightest movement ruining a photo that the iPhone 11, Huawei’s and Pixels have no problem with at all.

I did some side-by-sides with my cat a month or 2 back and what interested me (other than how poor my S10 looked in comparison) was that looking at the EXIF the Samsung always selected a lower shutter speed for the same scene. I speculated at the time that they were doing this to get around the older camera hardware (no change from S9) to try and keep the ISO down and that they were just not as good at the computational stuff.


If this is the case of course then the new hardware in the S20 should mitigate this but the early signs are that this is maybe not the case??

I am trading in my pixel 4 xl so I can keep my note 10+. Then I will trade my note 10+ for a note 20+.

I was thinking about that myself , but I like my pixel 4 xl , so I would have to do my Note 10+ and then trade in the ultra when the note 20 comes around ...I'm still up in the air about it

Daniel Bader seems to be not fully impressed, though he says it has good cameras there are some issues. Hopefully software updates make it better let's see.

Probably because the market collapsed when cell phones began to pass compact cameras in image quality. I had the Galaxy Camera, thought it was great when I got it, S7 took better photos in anything but ideal lighting.

Agreed, that's what has kept me from upgrading my Canon 60D is because I don't lug it around enough to spend the extra on a new body. For what I use it for it's still a great camera and until I begin to carry my kit around more often or it gives up the ghost I'm not putting more into it other than maybe a new lens if something catches my fancy.
