One thing we know for certain is that Samsung lives under the delusion that m0r Megapixels is so 1337 that it can outperform a lower MP telephoto with a higher optical amplification.
The new 50mp can't touch my S23U's 10x lens. Anything beyond 10x with the new 50mp looks washed and void of detail. That doesn't start until the 30x-50x for me.
The 100x is gimmick and about as useful as unicorn farts but the 10x again wins as it only needs to digitally enhance by a factor of 10 vs 20.
No contest for me. I want that flat screen but not a worthwhile trade off. Hopefully these dodo birds dont actually bring the curve back as rumored in future iterations.
*get off my lawn old man*: bring back MST!
