The main problem with a camera - you won't put it in your pocket and carry it everywhere you go.

There's no real match between a full frame sensor and that of any smartphone, but there is a catch. And that is the way most people look at photos nowadays, and that is on a smartphone or, at best, a tablet. Add to that the compression used by social media and the end result between an advanced smartphone and a full-frame camera will be almost the same.

Amazing comparison! There should be apparently a big camera software update just around the corner, I'd love to see you make some comparison after the update or something, your comparison videos are super awesome. :D

You’re comparing a professional camera to a smart phone, but to use the smart phone in point and shoot mode instead of pro mode. I don’t get it. Why not use the S 23 ultra in full mode? I’m pretty sure my S 21 ultra would’ve done much better than the results I saw coming out of the 23 ultra. I hate to say it, but I really think you don’t know how to use that phone’s camera. For instance, everything you said that was darker could’ve been brighter if you tap on the screen on the subject that you were focusing on. It looks like you just shot those pics by just pointing the camera. If you’re going to do a Comparison like this, use this phone in pro mode.

Thanks for the comparison. the thing is, despite the A7SIII looking better from a cinematic point. the S23 was clearer and more detailed for most every day shots - this is perfect. I picked one up on launch and very happy with it, perfect for vlogging. will still use my sony for my indoor studio shots though :)

Go to pro mode where you can do 120 fps 1080p and that is much better quality than 240 fps and you can use two lenses: the main and the UW. However, no zoom lenses are available for slow motion.

Phones are getting a lot better but i really dont like the artificial sharpening they do. At least in photos you can shoot raw and turn it down though lol. it also looks as if the samsung has weird motion artefacts at 2:40?

Great video. I would recommend trying to use Pro video mode on s23 ultra as it does not over process the video and doesn't add extra sharpness nd stuff .

Use Pro mode on S23 Ultra, it will give u much better results, 8K in Pro mode is better than regular mode.

Impressive Review, Thank You!

Which is better in term of taking family photos outside.. like for vacation and site seeing? Samsung s23 ultra or canon powershot g7x mark iii?

Having a backpack's worth of gear available in a smartphone makes the shortcomings much less of an issue.

Smartphone cameras are catching up quite quickly. Would love to see the same video with the 14 Pro!

The thing is, I hate taking video and editing, I use a7riii for photos. But rarely video because I hate editing videos. I got the a23 ultra and trying to figure out what's best for me ATM. Would you recommend 8k at 30 or 4k at 60 ? What would be best for what situation?

always knew samsung had great cameras...but never did i ever imagine that It'd take such a big lead in the smartphone camera department. talk less of going "THIS LEVEL" of toe to toe with profesional cameras

Would have liked to see a scenario where lighting favors both camera. Your examples here for sure favors the Sony (which isn't a bad thing since it's real life) but I think it woulda been cool to see where the S23 wasn't at such a disadvantage to see how it would compare.

Thanks for the comparison. Its exactly what I Looked for!

Amazing work and thank you! I was curious to see if iphone 14 pro max has the same issue where s23u seems to stutter faster motion at 30 fps conpared to most cameras . Anyways, nice video

Why don't creators adjust the exposure on samsung footage?

which apps can take log video in Samsung S23 ultra?

Since you have used both iPhone 14 pro and s23 ultra, which one did you find better in overall usage not just cameras or better designs. I'm a bit confused between both of them I'm gonna buy one next week still can't decide 😅

It would be nice to also see a comparison using 8K HDR 10bit with the mcpro24FPS on S23 Ultra with colour grading in post.

I need to.decide between 14pro and 23ultra, can u please tell me if the pro video/8k on samsung anywhere closer to 14pro like, clarity and details,sharpening, given that other things can be edited post shoot

nice love this video !

Can the pro video mode help to get better resulte with manual settings? because you didn't talk about it if I didn't miss it

For scientific result, use pro video mode on S23 ultra and adjust same setting as sony pro camera.

I like the depth and contrast better with the S23. Sonys' image is to washed out for me even though it represents closer to the real lighting image. Most photos are edited anyway to heighten the image to one's personal taste.

Greeting. tell me, is it wise for me to record a music video with an ultra phone? thank you

Isn't the s23 ultra can record hdr10+? Aren't they function simmilar to log?

Can you compare the S23 Ultra against some older 1" cameras like the Sony RX-100? Since now both cameras have "comparable" sensor specs.

I prefer the s23 videos, has more detail I feel in the sea. It is slightly darker, but at the same time enhances detail. I notice your camera also on the sea front the camera also magnify the haze in the atmosphere, so get a more washed out image. Also you can have manual modes on a smart phone, so can get far better videos and photos in manual mode and a professionals never use out of the box auto modes.

I'm always amazed at how you capture such intricate details in your phone reviews. Your photos really highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each camera, making it easier to understand their performance."🙌

Good video, Funny enough i like the samsung more on alot of those compares, and then if you compare prices on a samsung vs sony a7s3 then theres no contest sony is like 3 times more expensive and thats without lenses and in my view its not 3 times better and with lenses its more like 5 times or more expensive , so for me samsung would be my pick anyday of the week, the sony would be for real pros only, and just to think a mobile phone is being compared with some of the best pro cameras is kinda unreal on it own.

The top phone cameras are better now than many DSLR cameras, bar the expensive pro cameras, but now beats mid to cheap DSLR cameras

Best ever comparison 😊

Kindly do one video comparion of 14pro and s23 ultra

I love the utility of my smartphone camera but I really wish I could stop the oversharpening. It drives me crazy.

As a non professional photographer, I choose S23U, with it's compact body can produce good photos & videos to share with family. Anyway good comparison & keep up the good job

man ur comparison are way better than others 🍻

it would have been nice to see the comparison with low light videos

The Sony looks better to me in every shot. But its kinda crazy how good smartphone cameras are now.

Post april camera update the video improves nicely :)

Definitely not throwing them away any time soon

S23 looks awesome for the camera in my pocket😂

Thank you so much ' Been really wanting to upgrade my channels ' Video/audio quality ' I started out utube as just a fun hobhy and now I am taking it more serously So Instead of using my l Old stylo 5 cell phone going to get Samsung 23 ultra ' only thing i am worried about is I know how to edit with Stylo like cutting video and adding videos together most likely simple for everyone else ' 😥 Thanks again

I think this comparison is the one that more people should watch than those who glorify smartphone cameras. I own Samsung phones for a decade now and love them, but a phone can't replace a camera at all, even 1080p on a cheap MTF camera with a decent low aperture lens looks better than 8k video on a phone. Phones can excel when it comes to processing still images through AI, but they just always look flat compared to the dynamic range and bokeh of a real camera. Often content creators go to a city and take a shot of a church or whatever, and yes, a smartphone can do that basic thing really well, it's just not good at pretty much anything else, especially any type of video. I honestly think that even the super stable footage of the S23 looks worse than what you did on the Sony. Yes, it's steady, but it's still weirdly sharp and just doesn't look good while being so steady.

I personally really didn't like Ultra's footage. It's always clearly oversharpened, with tons of crushed blacks, lack of grey shades and then random overly saturated objects. The hardware itself seems to be decent, but Samsung really needs to work on their processing software. Older Samsungs used to be far less overprecessed and looked more natural, even on older lower end hardware, but with very acceptable and slight sensor flaws. I think you should try Open Camera app (it allows to turn off some auto processing) to see what you can achieve with it. Hell, it would be very interesting to see what would happen if you matched manual controls of both camera and took pictures with focus set to same part of picture.

Would you bother using HDR 10 ? I see sharing videos it isn't optimised in whatsapp

After watching a lot of pro camera reviews, I believe they nailed it & it's considerable option for photography starter. To summarize, Auto mode isn't enough & it doesn't give you what the lenses are capable of, manual pro+raw mode are must. You won't need colour or light editing, as it's embedded by default

nice video

I've had a variety of film and digital cameras for the past 30 years. All cheap. The past 10 years have been phone or action cameras. The S22 Ultra was so good it made me wonder what a Sony Alpha camera would be like, so I picked one up. Then I bought a few good lenses. And that is why I skipped the S23 Ultra this year.

Imagine if the Samsung's camera exposure is controlled, it would pretty much look like the Sony Professional and no need of Sony anymore, but probably there are more factors to them.

Did you intentionally put people smoking weed @ 4:20? 😆

I love love love some DSLR cameras ... the days I buying my phones or cameras, i always wished samsung would just put a DSLR lense on the back the the settings inside so i could have both the camera and great phone lol but nahhhh.. that would be so so cool.

The s23 ultra got completely destroyed tbh. The last video with the dog was shot on 10x ? It looks extremely blurry, no idea why. Great video why, kinda amazing we can even compare smartphone cameras to the very best of cameras and have it get a win here and there, mainly higher res video and video stabilization.

test camera honor magic 5 pro vs camera sony

Phone computation of photos vs Professional cameras 🤔🤔🤔☺️

Yea and having lightroom on board lol jk great video

Camera and mobile camera is absolutely different, sensor wise, it is unjustified to compare both of them

In perfect lightning phone works. But if events is your income a phone wont do the job

Smartphone cameras are improving all the time for sure, and I own an S23 Ultra which I love to use for photos and videos linked to my hobbies and interests. I love the thing, especially how it allows and encourages you to take charge of your own settings to get the effects you are looking for. I know though DARN WELL that in no way, bar basic stabilization, can any smartphone realistically compete with a top professional camera's flexibility and efficiency. To suggest any phone can is pretty absurd. Especially videowise against an A7S111. Then again, to suggest that someone could carry a professional camera around with them in their pocket all day is pretty absurd too. This is what smartphone cameras are all about in my opinion. Getting good photo and video quality in a portable device. Let's not forget that you can carry editing equipment around in your pocket within your phone also. I started by saying that mobile phone cameras are improving all the time, but let all flagship mobile phone owners not forget that professional camera development is not standing still. Far from it. The gulf in quality between the two will always exist.

Forget A7siii , It's better to buy zve10 with a 200 dollar phone instead of buying s23 ultra.

What this video from s23 doesn't look that good🤔even my s20 can do better than that...and did you edit your camera footage?

Lol the output is dark because you set the s23 ultra to 4k60 if it was 30 the lower fps would allow more light jeez what kind of comparison is this only people who don't know how to set their settings wouldn't have caught that and people like mo who actually know how to properly set their fps would. The next time you compare both make sure the videos are both set to 4k60 or 4k30 FOR BOTH.

Phones are never replacing cameras for professional videography...

Photos and videos of the Samsung S23 Ultra night are very bad, please finish quickly 

Not about the video topic, but in today's video you look kinda over exposed xd btw, I really love your videos, the best about cameras vs smartphones

Why people compare s23U with full frame sensor 😌😌😌 1. Big sensor size good quality pic (Sony) 2. Practicality (s23u)

the sony camera looked 480p, there was no details at all

If you show me the footages n ask me to guess its from which devices, S23 ultra wun lose to a DSLR!🥳❤️🙏

Sony Xperia 👑♥️🤩🔥

Apple 14pm and s23u Phones are no where near in quality, it's night and day when you haven't got perfect conditions a real full frame camera destroys 14pm and the s23u I use both Sony full frame and the s23 ultra! anything looks good on a small phone screen put it on your TV and see for yourself how bad these phone camera are still everyone is recording really bad quality memories shame really media hypes phones that are nowhere near In quality

Said before and will say again .... Phones will never match proper dedicated professional cameras.... Especially in video category

who the f runs on pebbles and film the entire thing? pointing out something but using a very unrealistic scenario is just stupid.

Not sure through out the comparison i saw s23 ultra clear winner in first half of the video not sure if your display is different 😂

Overall I would take the Samsung S23 Ultra anytime.! 💯

iphone 14 pro max vs the sony camera would be a great comparison

200 MP IS GIMMICK

Yikes hopefully the s24 cam gets an upgrade

Samsung S23 Ultra definitely doesn't shoot real 4K. You can easily tell from the oversharpened image. Looks very ugly.

Samsung, like all of the other Smartphone brands, oversharpen the videos

На S23 Ultra нет диафрагмы, поэтому детализация хуже.

Is it only me or does he actually look like Justin Bieber?

Well I thought S23 would do better.

Why did you not use the Pro video mode and set exposure yourself on s23 ultra,people are sacrifice image quality for the covinence of having a phone in your pocket such a shame no phone can compare with a mirriorless or dslr depends how much you value your memories

為了業配拿手機跟隨便亂設定的相機比🙄🙄🙄

IPhone noob...

100% Sony alfa

Justin bieber

Why is 25fps still a thing

S23 looks horrid

Yeah basically sony wins this, but can you make a call or play games in your sony pro cam😅
