I agree with you that Samsung needs to work on capturing moving objects. This is my major issue shooting with my S23 Ultra.

Agreed. And I think it's software issue. On my note 10+ gcam port was taking superb photos, while it's own app was slow and poor in quality.

Do you guys like the camera section to be POV photography like in this video?

Yes, the POV camera section was a great addition to this video. It made your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra revisit video much more immersive and engaging. You did a great job! 👏🏼

I like the idea, but it looks grainy for some reason. We're you using your professional camera to record it?
With my S23 Ultra, I prefer shooting with the pro video mode to its normal video. I think its quality is way better and controlled. Once you understand how to use pro video, trust me, you'll appreciate the S23 Ultra's camera capabilities more.
Was watching the last review, noicee, I can watch another for the ultra in time for their timely update.
I'm sad I didn't wait for the S23 Ultra and picked the S22 Ultra. I'm looking forward to get the S24 Ultra that will be even more amazing with the upgraded Zoom lenses cuz the current ones have a very bad low light performance due to the small sensor size.

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately the s23 ultra is out of my budget as a student. However! im expecting pixel 7 in couple of days, it was your Pixel 7 Review who made me choose it, keep up the work!

Love that! Enjoy the Pixel🙌🏼🙌🏼 it’s a great phone
For shutter lag, in advanced intelligence options, there is different focus levels which reduces lag further
After much consideration, needing a new phone I opted for the S23 Ultra over the S24 Ultra for 2 main reasons. Firstly, they ditched the 10x optical zoom for a 5 and the Raw files on the S24 are tiny. These are backward steps in my opinion. I simply can't wait to get to grips and learn how to shoot with it properly. Yes your right, its a genuine thing of beauty and the build quality, exceptional.
My s22 plus still rocking and is amazing and the 8gen 1 is still good one ui 6 improved battery life and other things
I have a s10e here and looking to upgrade. I have my own camera but looking to get a more than capable dslr "style" camera on my phone aswell. Would you get a pixel 8 pro or the s23 ultra?
Love this channel

I updated mine straight after the software went live, had no problem with my battery. Still averaging 8-9 hrs per charge, before the update it was 7-8 hrs I say go ahead and update it, you'll feel better performace and smoother animations
I can't wait for the release of Samsung S24 Ultra in the near future...Hope samsung can fix their main issues and problem that found on S23 Ultra before ✌️

200mp shouldn't be used like that, you should use 50mp mode the details are basically the same but with much more processing than the 200
that optical zoom is the selling point for me ......even tho i cant buy a one
love your way of explaining, Love from India
Why would you want to capture a photo of a moving image when you can just record it on video and take still shots?????
oohh I dream about the day when Android phone video quality will be up to the iPhone's standard :(
I’ve had both s23 ultra and 14 pro max . In photo mode both are amazing . But in video The iPhone 14 Pro Max killing it .
The telephoto cameras are 10MP, not 12MP
It's such a shame you can't turn off over-processing on 12mpxl photos. I do prefer how 50 or 200 photos look like but hate the file size. I'm assuming Samsung's default photo snap is when you release the finger from the snap button because if you click and hold, you'll start recording

50mp vs 200mp indoors is no difference whatsoever. Don't know if it's different in sunlight, I've yet to see the bright ball after 2 months of buying S23U (winter in Finland is fun).

@@theo7617 No? Ok, I've tested this on S23U myself and compared the results in photoshop. 50mp mode had the same amount of details as 200mp for indoor shots. 12mp vs 50mp there was a difference, but as far as effective resolution is concerned I'd say downscaling to 20mp-30mp from the 50mp shot seemed to be the limit of detail in my test. So what I'm saying is that the effective resolution for my indoor tests came out at around 20mp to 30mp - which mind you, is great for a sensor of this size. It can rival and sometimes even exceed my Sony A7 in details, even though old, it's a fricking full frame mirrorless camera.

@@theo7617 Did you even read what I said? 50mp vs 200mp = no difference indoors on S23U. All you are doing is increasing file size for no reason. Outdoors and in well lit indoor scenarios this is probably more meaningful though, I've yet to test this myself. It's too bad the other sensors are limited to 12mp, because I usually end up just using that mode regardless to get the full zoom range.
No no no, Oppo Find X7 Ultra is the best camera smartphone nowadays man!!!

Awful 10x zoom
S23U is the best smartphone overall but not camera king. The iPhone is still better in the camera department, although you can't really complain with the S23U's cameras either.
S23U is the worst phone for mobile photography ever created, they sell it as a device to take photographs at a professional level and the quality of its Expert Raw files is terrible, the software is so invasive that it adds horrible sharpness by converting the "dng" file In garbage, the JPG output quality is the worst on the market, sharp, sharp, saturated, they put tools to correct that but it is not enough, 200mp is pure marketing, the photos taken in 200mp are softer but when you start to zoom in on the photograph To see details everything is transformed into watercolor, a painter's sketch, you can't even shoot Raw at full resolution given the number of useless megapixels in such a small sensor, it is by far the worst phone that someone could choose for mobile photography.

In my opinion you exaggerated a bit, but basically I agree with you... I owned the S23 Ultra for about 8 months, it has an incredible zoom, but it all ends there... Even if you look at the files on a large screen at high resolution, the the situation gets even worse... Poor quality of Expert Raw, and jpg files that are too saturated and with too much sharpness, a night mode that is often not up to par... As an Android device, apart from the camera, it remains one of the best on the market, even if loses value incredibly quickly…

@@soulking6868 The truth is that I try each new update to see if it improves but unfortunately NO, that absurd sharp sharpness that they print in a file that would supposedly be used to work in post production (Expert raw) is impossible to remove, it is unfortunate that a top-of-the-range phone and with those capabilities it has such poor photographic quality, the only way out is to install a gcam port to be able to obtain decent (natural) photos and a natural raw file without heavy post processing, I hope S24 U improves these flaws, I also don't understand why they continue to use a sensor massive 200mp, asking to use a 50mp one of much better quality and with pixels double the size, asking to offer a raw file at maximum resolution without having to go through binning as it currently does
Why didn't you just put CAMERA REVIEW in the title. I just wasted my time here thinking you were going to talk about the overall aspects of the phone. This is just a Camera review 😢
Low light photography and night photography is weakest point of s23u.
Does anybody know why the 50 mpx pictures in Photo mode has coloring artifacts? It can be seen on skim, especially on face. Thanks.
