Impressions
I will start from a distance. I always use Instagram, which I have already
more than a thousand pictures . The most common question that people ask - "what made these pictures." Most do not believe that so can shoot a camera phone, in my case, Galaxy S3. Many are trying to get me to clean water, and such fighters for justice appear weekly. If I had a hundred rubles for each question as you remove the photos, then just make a lot of boost to their monthly salary.
For me the choice of Galaxy S3 was not least dictated by the fact that with this phone, I have the freedom to photos - many settings (which does not have the iPhone, there is one option - to photograph), the guaranteed average quality and excellent quality with sufficient lighting. In fact,
S3 is the standard for image quality, it is one of the most popular models with a quality camera (Note 2 can be regarded as equivalent). In the mass unconscious quality camera to count as the iPhone, though it is clearly not up to the level of Galaxy S3 (foresee indignant cries, but what to do, this is the reality).
In fact, for most phone users quality photographs is determined only by how it is displayed on the phone screen. And here in the Samsung always win, because the quality and the diagonal screen is much better and higher than the competition (this involves not only the number of dots per inch, but the screen size). First we need to talk about winning the iPhone, although given that most of the quality of the photos on the last completely satisfied, it does not matter.
For me, the transition from an 8-megapixel camera Galaxy S3 to S4 with its 13 megapixel camera was very easy and simple, no inconvenience, except that on a long menu endured exposure compensation, which is needed when shooting at night. Additional modes clearly targeted at young people, who would be happy to play the shot with two cameras, the creation of animated pictures and things like that. This de facto entertainment, additional content, which is useless to evaluate in terms of like / dislike. Not sure what mature consumers are able to make. For example, my kids, playing with a record of animation, very quickly found a use for it and said it was cool feature that will appeal to the majority of their class. And they began to inquire the opportunity to bring the phone to show you how it works. That is to say that the school is catchy, and these chips in the machine a lot, but some will hook and will talk about the phone. This kind of entertainment.
I am pleased that the search for additional features that are not always serious, Samsung did not forget about the quality of the main features -
the camera did not shoot worse, she became better (color, resolution, detail). Once again Samsung could create a master product, which in this parameter sets the tone in the market - I hope no one will argue that the Android market from other manufacturers is not comparable cameras and they appear much later. In fact, we can say that the competition is between the iPhone and the Galaxy, while other manufacturers are just trying to break into this fight. While it is impossible to assess the quality HTC One (not the final hardware is still not), and Nokia Lumia 920 is such a niche device with limited additional functionality that did not seriously consider it worth (and proven many times that the picture quality is mediocre at the device, to another level is extended only nighttime, it is not necessary for most people.) We will try to do a full fotosravnenie different champions and phones with good cameras to see who wins the contest, although such a comparison will be crafty (units set by the camera, the majority looks at the totality of characteristics, and the failure of sales Nokia 808 - proof).
Personally for me, the camera on the phone is important, so the selection is always careful what to take and what to use. Informed choice Galaxy S3 on aggregate characteristics made possible by the camera, with the S4, apparently, will have the same story, unless Apple in the next model will not be able to do the impossible - but it is little hope for the calculation of the company - "point and shoot", and means that many camera modes just are not implemented, and the experience of Apple in this area just is not enough, unlike Samsung, which produces a large number of different cameras.
Total in one word - love. S4 camera in perfect and outperforms other phones, which proves that this comparison. Given that the product will be very widespread, we can expect that people will have more good quality photos that can only be welcomed.
