Wow the level of work you put into this video must've been immense, appreciate your hard work, awesome video. How does this not have more views, better content than most creators I see.
Wow. Finally a video that’s not “Apple fanboy switches to S22 Ultra, Lifelong Apple user switches to S22 Ultra, Going back to Galaxy S22 Ultra, or Galaxy S22 Ultra camera test.” This one compares the zoom with a DSLR. A refreshing video.
With file transfer, I'm guessing you're using a Mac that's why everything seem complicated. You can simply plug the USB cable to your Mac, the phone should pop up in the File explorer on the Mac, then you navigate to where the files are (DCIM) and copy. Or if you prefer to do it wirelessly then you have to use cross platform file sharing apps. There are many of them out there. The limitation is Apple's fault not Samsung's. If you were using a Samsung laptop or other Samsung ecosystem devices it would have been equally seamless like it is with Apple devices.
The file transfer also works almost seamlessly between the Samsung Phones and Windows PCs and Laptops. Just make sure you are on the same network on both devices.
To be honest i think S23 did a good job because i am viewing this on a big screen i could only differentiate the shot because of the depth of field . The detail is definitely better on the sony but still S23 is not to far behind .
@saturnv2677 well who would have thought that equipments which are 2x,3x,10x the price of s23 ultra and are 10 times the size . I didn't know that thanks for telling .
I worked for one of HP's image quality and ink characterization labs for 16 years, And listen well, the difference between a "professional" camera and a phone within the 4"x7" measurements, a normal photo and even a 4'x3' poster is none...That's the case since the Galaxy S5 and more when an average person looks at a photo for about 1.5 seconds and they only focus on an area with a diameter of a .25(quater) coin....and the photos and poster are not zoomed. The situation here is that an ultra small $65 cell phone camera can do so much and will continue to do better. Another thing and just so you know, there are printers with technology that just by printing an image the software fixes it to an incredible level, obviously they are not printers to have at home... but there are and the result is amazing. Great video Sir!!! Note...with cameras you will end up using photoshop.
Yes I agree, every year this tech gets more accessable to the masses at better prices, the technology leap is just increadible. Thank you so much for watching and taking your time to share your thoughts!
Bro you can use the USB Type- C port for transferring huge files, it's way faster than the Lightning port on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and for that reason, Apple is forced to implement Type C in their upcoming iphones, best believe the 15 series will have type c, but the transfer speeds won't be fast like that of the Samsung, but faster than the Lightning port, at least from recent leaks though!
Hello, I really admire what you do with your videos. At 10:03, you mentioned having difficulties transferring data from your device. I know that at least when it comes to connecting to your computer using a USB-C cable, you can simply drag and drop the files from the folder that appears on your phone to your computer. It should make the data transfer much easier. Keep up the great work!
I have the old S21 model (non-ultra), and everyone keeps asking me why my photos look so good. My secret is that I use the telephoto lens quite often and it just makes photos, portraits and depth shots so much better.
Exactly! I notice persons pointing out that this is the case for the S23 but it happens with iPhones as well. For example when I take a selfie with an iPhone the photo preview never looks the same as after the photo has been taken.
Having owned both apsc n full frame alpha, to me if youre used to Sony's color profiling in its imaging its not hard to guess which one is which. Sony's color profiling are more 'natural' and might look 'boring' to most people but its also the most accurate. For phone, currently i'm using Xperia n Galaxy, but I love both. 😂 Its amazing to see how capable smartphones are nowadays in terms of camera.
@@StevenDivish well, i like Xperias in terms of how the pictures are rendered in a more natural way, and I could just use Lightroom if I needed to put some 'spice' to the images. Another one great thing is their pro imaging apps which really let me customize the camera to get even better result. I just hoped that Sony would be more considerate to give a bit more megapixels to its cameras at least 20mp like the older Xperia, because I also love to take wide scenery images.
But will get natural photos on Galaxy after turning off scene optimizer don't turn it off when you're taking zoom shots because Samsung uses AI to make very detailed photos or videos on zooming.
I know there is a setting on the phone to change display resolution, by default is FHD+ (2316x1080) but you can change it to WQHD+ (1088x1440) so maybe this can improve your video preview quality? There is also an App called mcpro24fps that is full of professional video options (even many log curves, 10bit with very high bit rates, etc), and it allows to change preview resolution independent from recording resolution... I'm still testing but I think the 8K video from standard camera is realy good but I only use the display to frame and touch to focus some times, but I trust the phone to adjust all other image parameters automatically. BTW when I use a tripod I disable image stabilization (it disables digital IS but keeps OIS) and it has wider viewing angle because it doesn't crop the border of the sensor pixels)
Great video. I'm not sure you realize how image stabilization works on phones if you are surprised the 10x is not a stable as the main camera video. Also if you had 10x with 8k that would magically have given you 40x optical zoom, which is obviously far from possible today.
Thank you sir! Yeah I do understand this. I just mentioned that stabilization relies on the lack of motion blur which makes some accessories and ND filters worthless to use if filming handheld on s23 ultra telephoto zoom lens…
@@ogkendrick6392 okay without optical zoom but I can use the 200 MP mode, take a photo, and crop it right ? And thatd sort of replace the need for zooming, right?
@@StevenDivish does this mean that an accessory like a gimble would be useless because of the reliance on lack of motion blur? Thanks for all of your knowledge!!
I've been watching this on my 4k 89" TV and both versions look great. But I understand the problem with the oversharpening and too much contrast in the S23 pictures. That didn't stop me to buy one today. I hope I can do some nice pictures and videos in it for working with them in Davinci Resolve Studio.
Dear, sir, I am most happy to find your RUclips-Channel for first time today! I appreciate much your way of communicating clearly and explaining every important step you take in order to get the absolute best result when using your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra! So now I am grateful to be one more of your many subscribers and of course, giving you my thumbs up! Best regards and many blessings from Sweden! ❣💯👍👍👍
This is some of the best phone photography and videography content I have seen on RUclips in a while. Keep up the good work man. I'd like to build an entire workflow around Phone cinematography and photography, and I currently own the s22 ultra. Any tips on how to not f**k things up😂😂.
Thank you very much for the in-depth review of the handset, particularly from the prospective of an iPhone user. However, I don't understand why we must pick between iPhone and Android. I always have the latest iPhone as my primary phone (due to the ecosystem in my household) and an Android flagship as a second phone to keep my work number. I'm due for an upgrade and I'm undecided between Pixel 7 Pro and S23 Ultra. I think I'll go for the S23 Ultra this time.
I feel like I'm taking a big leap by purchasing this phone primarily for the camera. My Nikon has been my baby for so long! Unfortunately it's no longer made.....thank you so much for helping make this change
Got the s24U and it's doing a great job like the s23U. The phone is perfect for photos and videos that will be seen on small monitor/phone, So probably 99% of the time. That being said, when the condition are not that great like low light or bright sun for videos (take NDs filter with you) or if you want a very specific result, the limitation start to be felt. Also, when we zoom-in in the photo, we can easily see that it's losing a lot of details and it has way less possibility for post treatment, even with the expert raw. That being said, it's still great and having this much versatility and quality in a so little package is impressive. I am planning to buy a real camera for myself (used the one of my wife for testing) but certainly will not stop using the phone as a b-cam or when I don't want to carry/look for the camera. Great video BTW.
The tripod video shots look good though, I think it’s only in the handheld part of this video is when the telephoto lens struggles because of the image stabilization… And yeah I agree about the iPhone lol
This is the first video i watched... really impressed with the quality and effort...subscribed without waisting any time... Pls tell me the hand grip device you used with s23 ultra for taking pics and videos?
Thank you so much for watching and taking your time to comment!! I just listed the grip in the description in the gear list, you can have a look. I also have a separate video on my channel about Sherpa system, I cover it more in details there.
8:50 Thats because of overheating and takes too much cpu and ram and would make the video recording stuttering.Thats why it has a lower preview res when rec 8K
I am interested in getting into photography but can't afford any super expensive professional camera but own a s23 ultra. I was wondering if you could do a guide on tips for beginners using the pro setting on the s23 Ultra.
Yessir some shots in this video are made in pro modes Photo and video. Also one of my next vids is going to be a battle series s23 ultra against a cinema camera, but I think I mentioned it briefly in this video too 🫡
Damn you put in work dude. Fun to see. I wish the pro mode and the expert raw mode and the camera app didn't all perform so differently. For some reason the nicest moon pictures come from the camera app, where expert raw just blurs the living daylight out of it. But using the telephoto on normal stuff, i get way more detail and sharpness (and slightly much noise cancelling) with the expert raw app. Very inconsistent. Pro mode has produced 0 desirable results but i'm not a pro, lol. Also don't like the depth of field with the S23u, just pumps out a lot of soft looking pictures, it seems like. Astro mode for some reason just smashes it out of the park. Got some amazing shots already :)
Oh and file transfer shouldn't be too hard. You could use nearby share with another phone, or if you hook it onto a pc it should be recognized as a mass storage device, where you can browse folders and extract files to your pc. Had to return my S23u bc production issues, but transfering the files onto my computer was quick. Apparently they upgraded the file transfer speed from 22u to 23u so it's reportedly much faster now.
Nice comparison, thanks for sharing. Regarding file transfer - I sync my photos and videos via OneDrive. I literally do not need to do anything, everything I take get's synced to the cloud.
Hey Steven, Love your videos. Can you do a video about portrait mode/photographies on the S23 Ultra? Always having trouble getting good shots of faces and so on.
Wow this is crazy! I got this phone and its amazing for the price and what the camera can do. Awesome video! what editing software do you use on your phone? I've been using the snapseed app for a few years now and its ok, but im exploring other options
Thank you so much! I put a lot of efforts in my videos so it makes me happy when people notice and leave their feedback! I'm using Ligthroom in this video. I also just posted a Night Photography video on this s23 ultra, make sure to watch it!
Great video! Will you be performing more analysis e.g. pixel peeping between S23 ultra and the Pro Camera? Definitely the Pro Camera will have less noise due to bigger sensor but just wondering how much less noise is there when comparing against to the S23 Ultra. Thank you.
Yes, more videos focused on Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras are on the way, in fact one will be out this week. Is there anything specific that interests you that I should cover in the future?
Try using the motion cam app. It's not the most reliable but it takes amazing raw images and raw VIDEO. It doesn't use samsunsg crappy video software. Straight up raw video
Great video, and you sound like you know what you're talking about..... naturally... you've sold me on the Samsung right from the start, comparing it to a professional kit like you've got...... forget about it, for the money I'm spending on this phone I'll be wrapped if it achieves half of what your professional camera can do, plus I can make calls lol.
Could u try photo-stacking a clock or something with the S23U? U need to use the "open camera" app to do it & program "helicon focus" to stack them, I have the program so I could do it for you.
Sounds interesting! is this for creating better macro? What is the purpose? What can open camera app do. I have the S23 Ultra, and would like to try it out if you want to help?
It's a fact that if samsung got serious and made a dslr camera it could be around 400+ megapixel seeing as they achieved 200 with their phone. S23 ultra can beat any camera/lense combination on the market and blow nikon/cannon away! There's a reason why more people have a samsung phone over a nikon/cannon camera.
@@StevenDivish just saying these days dslr and mirrior cameras aren't worth it compared to a cell phone camera which gives equal if not better value + does more.
Hi Steven. If you were choosing a hybrid camera today for travelling videos + RUclips + some photos + timelapses which one you could recommend? I saw you have A7IV and I'm thinking between A7IV, S5IIX, A7CII, ZV-E1, A7SIII, FX3.
I use the 7iv as an ultimate all-arounder for almost 2 years so far, it's an awesome beast. Very versatile, but can feel quite heavy after a long day of filming/photography. Also a few months ago I got the ZVe1 which I use more as a portable camera when I want to pack light or film YT videos in the city, I love it a lot, the image is crisp and the image stabilization is incredible, though some people do have issues with overheating, in sunny weather but I have not experienced anything bad to be honest.
Question, should we use auto-lens switching or not and why? whats the best pick and shoot method for the non photographer thats wants the best possible?
Thanks for a great series of videos, I've just got my s23 ultra. What bluetooth grip are you using? The link under your video does not show me that grip here in Canada.
I find these videos fun to compare but at the end of the day, I still go for my pro glass on Pro DSLR FX. Not about better, just uniquely different & versatile. However, I am so impressed w/ the use of the 4x pixel multiplier to get light & details. So it's the feel of having a bigger sensor w/ room to crop. Good video. (: I meant to add, I do use this Galaxy S23 Ultra along an older Nikon D4s and love it. It's more of a so convenient versatile little sidekick like I used to use my old Canon S120 back in Uni.
Thanks!! For sure cameras dedicated for taking photos or filming videos with interchangeable lenses will offer better quality, but at the same time it is possible to squeeze some really nice photos and videos out of the s23 ultra. I just posted a video btw with a ton of footage from the phone, have a look maybe you’ll like it too 😊
Let me help you out on the beginning of the video, since you seem confused, samsung doesnt have a 200MP sensor, in reality its more or less just 12.5mp upscaled to 200mp, thats also why you don't really see a huge detail increase between binned and non binned mode. As for Zoom, once again, it doesnt actually have 100x zoom, infact all it does is use a 10x periscope that is being cropped to emulate 100x zoom and for anything between 3x and 9.9 it uses a 3x lens and crops in.
Well technically it has 200mp sensor, it's just has nona binned colour filters over top, so in therms of colour - yes, but in therms of photodiods its all as it said, its also realy increases level of details when 200mp mode is used, you just not allowed to do that in raw, jpeg only, so you can't see its full potential, but from my experience, 108mp shot in 26mm lense of my Note 20U takes more detailed images than 24mp sony with 35mm super crisp lense, so it's kind of an indicator, considering that it's sensor area is 5.5x bigger. And to make clear, no one claims that it has 100x optical zoom, even on official website it's clearly written that 100x is mix used hybrid magnification
Hi Steven! Could you please do a video about sunset at beach photography with the s23 Ultra? Would be really interesting and educational to see how you use the Expert Raw there. Also would be the amazing to see the epic shots you would get!
I'm not user mac.. file transfer from Samsung should be faster than iPhone.. iPhone still uses lightning port usb 2.0 for its maximum speed 480mbps and samsung use type c port usb 3.2 speed maximum 10gbps
For some reason the file transfer is super slow on this Galaxy S23 Ultra to MacBook, I'm using Android File Transfer app to transfer all the photos and videos from phone to my laptop. And that app is always dropping the connection resulting to some of the files being left out, its super frustrating... ps. I know its not related to the galaxy phone, but even type C interfaces can still be just USB 2.0, so just the fact its type C not always corresponds to faster data transfer speeds....
Thank you! Yes it's linked in the description. Also I just posted a new video featuring more of that holder, have a look! ruclips.net/video/UW71uJCgQyE/видео.html
Great video. Worth the watch. A question: If you can only get the 100x zoom in picture mode, not video mode, how high a zoom can you get in video mode? And how does that specifically compare to say the top new iphone? Thanks. (I like to do a lot of hiking and other outdoor fun, and being able to see objects thru the phone very long distances and make them closer, snap pics of such and if possible take videos of such is very appealing to me. Heck, might just get a great pic or vid of bigfoot one of these days. And I'll use it handheld almost exclusively)
10x in video mode for the S23 Ultra. If quality isn't an issue, you can screen record while on camera app on 100x zoom. You can just then crop out the stuff you don't want after the video captrue.
4K video on this phone has a max Optical Zoom of 10x, and max Digital Zoom of 20x. The iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max has a max Optical Zoom of 3x, and can digital Zoom to about 10x. I don't recommend using digital Zoom on either device, so the optical zoom numbers are the only ones that really matter much.
Yeah SmartSwitch seems to be working for transferring files Phone-to-Phone, However when I need to edit my next video I need to transfer the files from the galaxy s23 Ultra to Macbook....and smart switch app doesnt work at all
I'm so impressed with this review. Im lucky to have this phone, a hero 10, a dji action 3 and sorry to a eos1500d and a eos 600d. Great presentation, watched every second. Bring it on.

That being said, it's still great and having this much versatility and quality in a so little package is impressive. I am planning to buy a real camera for myself (used the one of my wife for testing) but certainly will not stop using the phone as a b-cam or when I don't want to carry/look for the camera.
Great video BTW.
Man your video skills are next level but your channel is so underrated I hope you will groww very soon ❤
Thank you! Slow and steady 🫡
The quality is decent when taking pictures, the video quality tho…😅 but hey pretty good for a smart phone, and definitely better than iPhone zoom lens
The tripod video shots look good though, I think it’s only in the handheld part of this video is when the telephoto lens struggles because of the image stabilization…
And yeah I agree about the iPhone lol
For some reason fhd has better quality in video than uhd so I only use fhd 60 for video. Try it while zooming in on objects and you'll see.
great work man ! keep up the good work
Appreciate it!
Really interesting video! Great to see some stuff for Samsung/Android.. Very helpful, useful tips. Thanks! 👍 ❤
Glad you liked it!
I found the S23U camera is crazy good! I have a separate mega zoom lens that really brings things up close and personal.. HEIC format
Which lens is that id like to have one for my s22 ultra
You are excellent at this. 100k subs is easily achievable for your talent. Well done.....💯
Thank you so much 🙏
This was so awesome man! Thank you!
This is the first video i watched... really impressed with the quality and effort...subscribed without waisting any time...
Pls tell me the hand grip device you used with s23 ultra for taking pics and videos?
Thank you so much for watching and taking your time to comment!!
I just listed the grip in the description in the gear list, you can have a look.
I also have a separate video on my channel about Sherpa system, I cover it more in details there.
The 8k subscriber 😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much!!! Appreciate you here! 🙏🙏
For s 23 ultra which gimbal using please reply thanks.
Really nice breakdown! Phone shots turned out super nice 👍
8:50 Thats because of overheating and takes too much cpu and ram and would make the video recording stuttering.Thats why it has a lower preview res when rec 8K
thanks for the info!
I am interested in getting into photography but can't afford any super expensive professional camera but own a s23 ultra. I was wondering if you could do a guide on tips for beginners using the pro setting on the s23 Ultra.
Sure! Stay tuned I will be posting a low light tutorial using s23 ultra soon
Wow if u got the Samsung s23 ultra, that's DSLR quality in ur pocket, and u ain't need a camera .
Amazing work, hey bro try to turn off the video stabilisation option you will see a difference in the video quality and details, it will improve
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Make sure to check out good lock and test pro video and pro photo mode as they give more of a natural look
Yessir some shots in this video are made in pro modes Photo and video.
Also one of my next vids is going to be a battle series s23 ultra against a cinema camera, but I think I mentioned it briefly in this video too 🫡
He doesn't know what Goodlock modules are, so you should have explained further.
PLEASE!
8:03, can we just turn off stabilization in settings, does it disable EIS?
Damn you put in work dude. Fun to see. I wish the pro mode and the expert raw mode and the camera app didn't all perform so differently. For some reason the nicest moon pictures come from the camera app, where expert raw just blurs the living daylight out of it. But using the telephoto on normal stuff, i get way more detail and sharpness (and slightly much noise cancelling) with the expert raw app. Very inconsistent. Pro mode has produced 0 desirable results but i'm not a pro, lol.
Also don't like the depth of field with the S23u, just pumps out a lot of soft looking pictures, it seems like.
Astro mode for some reason just smashes it out of the park. Got some amazing shots already :)
Oh and file transfer shouldn't be too hard. You could use nearby share with another phone, or if you hook it onto a pc it should be recognized as a mass storage device, where you can browse folders and extract files to your pc. Had to return my S23u bc production issues, but transfering the files onto my computer was quick. Apparently they upgraded the file transfer speed from 22u to 23u so it's reportedly much faster now.
Very good professional review!
i watched the video in pc at 4k mode and i can tell the difference. Great informational video.
You are a true hero to watch the video on a bigger screen! Makes all my effort worth it haha!
Thank you so much!
Nice comparison, thanks for sharing. Regarding file transfer - I sync my photos and videos via OneDrive. I literally do not need to do anything, everything I take get's synced to the cloud.
Hey Steven,
Love your videos. Can you do a video about portrait mode/photographies on the S23 Ultra? Always having trouble getting good shots of faces and so on.
Actually quite bummed they've only made a case for the S23 Ultra and not the S22 considering how similar the platform is
Wow this is crazy! I got this phone and its amazing for the price and what the camera can do. Awesome video! what editing software do you use on your phone? I've been using the snapseed app for a few years now and its ok, but im exploring other options
Thank you so much! I put a lot of efforts in my videos so it makes me happy when people notice and leave their feedback!
I'm using Ligthroom in this video. I also just posted a Night Photography video on this s23 ultra, make sure to watch it!
Great video! Will you be performing more analysis e.g. pixel peeping between S23 ultra and the Pro Camera? Definitely the Pro Camera will have less noise due to bigger sensor but just wondering how much less noise is there when comparing against to the S23 Ultra. Thank you.
Yes, more videos focused on Galaxy S23 Ultra cameras are on the way, in fact one will be out this week.
Is there anything specific that interests you that I should cover in the future?
@stevendivish Hi, would be interested in post processed raw images from Samsung Expert Raw against professional camera too.
Try using the motion cam app. It's not the most reliable but it takes amazing raw images and raw VIDEO. It doesn't use samsunsg crappy video software. Straight up raw video
merging from apple to galaxy, welcome to a world with no limits and boundaries😉
Great video, and you sound like you know what you're talking about..... naturally... you've sold me on the Samsung right from the start, comparing it to a professional kit like you've got...... forget about it, for the money I'm spending on this phone I'll be wrapped if it achieves half of what your professional camera can do, plus I can make calls lol.
Thanks!
My favorite feature of the samsung phones is the stylus ! Makes it easy work with all video and photo editing apps! 😇
Totally agree! I made a separate video just about editing photos with it - ruclips.net/video/KNuEGlyHb5U/видео.html
I just love it's functionality!
The quick share mode works for me like a charm.
Los videos son magistrales. 👏🏼👏🏼
Could u try photo-stacking a clock or something with the S23U? U need to use the "open camera" app to do it & program "helicon focus" to stack them, I have the program so I could do it for you.
Sounds interesting! is this for creating better macro? What is the purpose? What can open camera app do. I have the S23 Ultra, and would like to try it out if you want to help?
11:07 timing. How did you increase the light colors in the photo?
The video on that coming soon. Stay tuned!
The vlogger..so handsome😍
Samsung galaxy S23 ultra is giving tough competition to dslr in zoom test. S23 ultra photos are sharper. I like it .
Plus you can also edit on the phone :)
It's a fact that if samsung got serious and made a dslr camera it could be around 400+ megapixel seeing as they achieved 200 with their phone. S23 ultra can beat any camera/lense combination on the market and blow nikon/cannon away! There's a reason why more people have a samsung phone over a nikon/cannon camera.
To be honest high MPx count doesn’t mean a camera is better, it’s mostly all about the optics
@@StevenDivish just saying these days dslr and mirrior cameras aren't worth it compared to a cell phone camera which gives equal if not better value + does more.
For files transfer I just connect SSD via type-c, speed of files transferring is crazy fast.
"WHATTTT" my reaction when i thought my choice was the camera but instead it's the 23Ultra lollll
Hi Steven. If you were choosing a hybrid camera today for travelling videos + RUclips + some photos + timelapses which one you could recommend? I saw you have A7IV and I'm thinking between A7IV, S5IIX, A7CII, ZV-E1, A7SIII, FX3.
I use the 7iv as an ultimate all-arounder for almost 2 years so far, it's an awesome beast. Very versatile, but can feel quite heavy after a long day of filming/photography.
Also a few months ago I got the ZVe1 which I use more as a portable camera when I want to pack light or film YT videos in the city, I love it a lot, the image is crisp and the image stabilization is incredible, though some people do have issues with overheating, in sunny weather but I have not experienced anything bad to be honest.
Install Gcam in your s23 ultra you'll be surprised to see the details the phone captures in 10x zoom vs stock camera
New subscriber very good review!
Awesome, thank you!
Question, should we use auto-lens switching or not and why? whats the best pick and shoot method for the non photographer thats wants the best possible?
You deserve at least million subscribers
Thank you so much 🫶🏼
Thanks for a great series of videos, I've just got my s23 ultra. What bluetooth grip are you using? The link under your video does not show me that grip here in Canada.
I find these videos fun to compare but at the end of the day, I still go for my pro glass on Pro DSLR FX. Not about better, just uniquely different & versatile. However, I am so impressed w/ the use of the 4x pixel multiplier to get light & details. So it's the feel of having a bigger sensor w/ room to crop. Good video. (:
I meant to add, I do use this Galaxy S23 Ultra along an older Nikon D4s and love it. It's more of a so convenient versatile little sidekick like I used to use my old Canon S120 back in Uni.
Thanks!! For sure cameras dedicated for taking photos or filming videos with interchangeable lenses will offer better quality, but at the same time it is possible to squeeze some really nice photos and videos out of the s23 ultra. I just posted a video btw with a ton of footage from the phone, have a look maybe you’ll like it too 😊
Let me help you out on the beginning of the video, since you seem confused, samsung doesnt have a 200MP sensor, in reality its more or less just 12.5mp upscaled to 200mp, thats also why you don't really see a huge detail increase between binned and non binned mode. As for Zoom, once again, it doesnt actually have 100x zoom, infact all it does is use a 10x periscope that is being cropped to emulate 100x zoom and for anything between 3x and 9.9 it uses a 3x lens and crops in.
Well technically it has 200mp sensor, it's just has nona binned colour filters over top, so in therms of colour - yes, but in therms of photodiods its all as it said, its also realy increases level of details when 200mp mode is used, you just not allowed to do that in raw, jpeg only, so you can't see its full potential, but from my experience, 108mp shot in 26mm lense of my Note 20U takes more detailed images than 24mp sony with 35mm super crisp lense, so it's kind of an indicator, considering that it's sensor area is 5.5x bigger. And to make clear, no one claims that it has 100x optical zoom, even on official website it's clearly written that 100x is mix used hybrid magnification
Wow appreciate your hardwork
Thank you so much!
Hi Steven! Could you please do a video about sunset at beach photography with the s23 Ultra? Would be really interesting and educational to see how you use the Expert Raw there. Also would be the amazing to see the epic shots you would get!
You can record video at 100x, you go into photo mode and hold down the shutter button for the duration of the video recording
I'm not user mac.. file transfer from Samsung should be faster than iPhone.. iPhone still uses lightning port usb 2.0 for its maximum speed 480mbps and samsung use type c port usb 3.2 speed maximum 10gbps
For some reason the file transfer is super slow on this Galaxy S23 Ultra to MacBook, I'm using Android File Transfer app to transfer all the photos and videos from phone to my laptop. And that app is always dropping the connection resulting to some of the files being left out, its super frustrating...
ps. I know its not related to the galaxy phone, but even type C interfaces can still be just USB 2.0, so just the fact its type C not always corresponds to faster data transfer speeds....
Which brand is the grip You use to hold the phone? Thanks
It’s linked in the description as “phone grip”. I also have a review on this phone accessory system on my channel. Thanks for watching!!
excellent work!
Thank you so much for watching!
Which software did you use for photo editing? Please let us know
do you have a link for that phone camera holder..also amazing work..thank you so much
Thank you! Yes it's linked in the description. Also I just posted a new video featuring more of that holder, have a look!
ruclips.net/video/UW71uJCgQyE/видео.html
You can connect the phone to PC and copy paste the files from DCIM folder to any folder
unfortunately I edit on Macbook and its not compatible for wired transfer seems like
@@StevenDivish ah! Understood
Thank you for your Fantastic video. In terms of camera which is good phone to buy 14 pro max or s3 ultra sir..
Thank you! And I have a video specially for you lol 😄ruclips.net/video/MoJTNKAq7GU/видео.html
Try. Send anywhere. All u need is internet to share files. Else u can use the file transfer option directly available if Der is NFS in ur mobile
hi, man, whats the name of that s23 holder? 1:38 , i want to buy one similar
Hey! its the Sherpa System, I have a separate video all about it on my channel and it's also listed above in the gear list.
Cheers!
Great video. Worth the watch. A question: If you can only get the 100x zoom in picture mode, not video mode, how high a zoom can you get in video mode? And how does that specifically compare to say the top new iphone? Thanks. (I like to do a lot of hiking and other outdoor fun, and being able to see objects thru the phone very long distances and make them closer, snap pics of such and if possible take videos of such is very appealing to me. Heck, might just get a great pic or vid of bigfoot one of these days. And I'll use it handheld almost exclusively)
10x in video mode for the S23 Ultra. If quality isn't an issue, you can screen record while on camera app on 100x zoom. You can just then crop out the stuff you don't want after the video captrue.
20x zoom in video mode , assuming you're shooting 4k
4K video on this phone has a max Optical Zoom of 10x, and max Digital Zoom of 20x. The iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max has a max Optical Zoom of 3x, and can digital Zoom to about 10x. I don't recommend using digital Zoom on either device, so the optical zoom numbers are the only ones that really matter much.
Amazing video💯💯💯
thank you!
you can plug in a usb stick directly into the phone (usbc adapter)and transfer files on the go
🤣🤣🤣 Lmao you featured my comment in your video! Why thank you!
Lol! Thanks for your support and coming back for the new video!!
Is there a setting difference when recording 8K in day & in night or just leave it on auto?
Samsung Galaxy s23 ultra king 👑 My brother ❤
I have changed a lot of phones the last years and i including everyone i know has never had an failure with the smartswitch.
Yeah SmartSwitch seems to be working for transferring files Phone-to-Phone, However when I need to edit my next video I need to transfer the files from the galaxy s23 Ultra to Macbook....and smart switch app doesnt work at all
File transfer, hook up an external hard drive right to the USB c port. Get a USB to USB-C adapter.
I'm so impressed with this review. Im lucky to have this phone, a hero 10, a dji action 3 and sorry to a eos1500d and a eos 600d. Great presentation, watched every second. Bring it on.
Thank you so much sir! I hope to see you here soon again in the next video!
you can send and receive using nearby share you can send photos, videos, and also document. the nearby share i really use that to sharing anything to my friends and family.
Thanks for the tip!
