After coming from the M9, now its time to shift gears onto the Samsung world of things. Specifically the Galaxy S6. We've been rocking out w/ it for a few weeks and we're ready to dig into the camera's performance.
This time around Samsung decided not to get comfortable as they already had really good shooters on the S5 and Note 4. So the S6 is armed w/ a f/1.9 16MP rear-facing Sony sensor w/ OIS (optical image stabilization) as well as a single LED flash. Samsung hasn't struggled in the camera department for quite some time but there's always room for improvement. We'll see if the new sensor and low aperture can help the S6 camera achieve perfection.
The S6 camera truly shines in a variety of conditions.
The 16MP shooter is quite a big deal. They were able to successfully improve upon an already good camera. To the point where its iPhone-like where you can open up the camera app and get great results damn-near 9 times out of 10. Seriously, just point and shoot. Repeat until you've ran out of things to take photos of. The lower f/1.9 aperture allows more light to come into the lens that results in a better lit & crisp shot. A great improvement to an already great shooter.
The front-facing shooter is now a wide-angle 5MP camera also armed w/ a f/1.9 aperture as well. The new sensor also helps this to become a great selfie camera or for video chatting. Shots & video quality are leaps and bounds better than most front-facing shooters as I'm glad companies are finally focusing on the front cameras as much as the rear ones. Of course having a wider lens, your selfies will include more of other things in your shot.
Samsung looks to have created a damn-near perfect shooter - even gives the iPhone competition in some situations.
