Yooo guys, I just released my best Lightroom presets ever (if I do say so myself lol) 🙏 you can get them at the top link in the description and if you see this you can use code SUB15 to get a cheeky discount! Thanks for all the support 🙌🏻

I cannot believe that that small lens in Samsung gives such great details.

I've seen countless S23 Ultra's Camera reviews and none of the photos taken by the other reviewers compare to the the photos taken by Tom. This actually confirms the fact that, it's not the camera it's the photographer!! Amazing review Tom, now I'm tempted to move on from my OP5T.

It would be nice to compare unedited photos with both cameras set in RAW with matched shutter speed; ISO and aperture as well as the an edited side by side to see where the strengths and weaknesses truly are between the hardware/software sets.

The Samsung S23 Ultra is unbelievable! Some photos looked preferable than the Sony if you don't pixel peep too much. Something you dont get to hear a lot from smartphones. Great video!

The HDR colors is a big giveaway. I prefer natural colors of a DSLR sometimes but it's hard to beat a camera that you always have in a pocket.

That 200mp sensor from Samsung is really ahead of the game. Even the optical to digital zoom can compete the professional cam. It was a great review 👍🏼

Agree with you 100%. Over the past 3 years I haven't taken my DSLR on vacation for this same reason, our pocket phones are nearly as good with less work to get good results.

Had to watch to the end, a great comparison vid!

I remember thinking the 2MP camera in my old LG C2200 was the coolest thing ever back in 2005.. How times has changed.

One thing I think some people have overlooked which is particularly important to myself, is that, to resolve all that extra detail, Samsung have quietly also upgraded the lens, not the specs, but the quality. The refraction (spots) from lights in night shots, is noticeably improved and the overall natural sharpness in RAW shots seems improved. That, along with the overhauled speaker system and microphones, tells me Samsung are more focused on pushing the more marketable material. I personally think improved speakers/microphones on such a device, is a big deal! Especially as a content consumer/creator.

Thanks for making this available.

Great comparison video. Keep it up🖤

As a hobbyist photographer, this is the time of content I was looking for as I just preordered my S23.

It's crazy how much better smartphones have gotten over the years. Great video!!

Your photography-based phone reviews are a visual treat! The way you present the phone features through your lens helps consumers get a real sense of what to expect in terms of camera quality and versatility.🙌

yes the results of this comparison surprised me

This is crazy. I can't believe how well the s23 ultra holds up. The framing and composure also is key, which you nailed. (I wish I had the pixel 6a, or any free phone at that)

the S23 camera looks so good compared to the S22. Dang it is getting closer to the pro cameras pretty quickly. Thanks so much for the comparison!

Your video comparison is just amazing!!! Kudos to you...

This makes me happy. I just got an S23U purely for photography. My daily phone is an iPhone 12 mini, which is sub-optimal for that, and all my research pointed to this Samsung slab being exactly what I need. You have confirmed that for me. Thanks!

I'm soo tempted to get the s23 ultra. Those pictures looks so good for such a tiny sensor.

I have upgraded from the S21U to the S23U. The S23U is really the camera backpack for your pocket. The picture quality is awesome. The 50 MP mode is also interesting and the files aren't that huge. And there is still so much to try and discover in expert raw. Or film in 8k. Then you can also crop photos well. And the whole performance over all is so good. It's a real leap forward for Samsung.

Just a perfect video,what i was searching for❤️

Nice video and great camera review!

Its just insane how good the phones got over the years

It's amazing how in just a few years, mobile phone cameras have evolved so much.😮

Very interesting and informative review. Thank you

Awesome review. Just subscribed!

I'm actually impressed with the specs on the Samsung S23 ultra, it's really fascinating

We've come a long way with cameras on smartphones it's honestly insane

Love these comparison videos

I've been using my phone more than my Canon EOS D3 Mklll just because of weight. I still use the Canon for IndyCar races, weddings and wildlife. I'm too old, and have way too much invested in L glass, the switch to EOS R Pro camera now. So the S 23 Ultra fits the bill. After 2 days of playing with it, I'm in love

Wow, S23 Ultra seems to do more than enough for any non-professional photography enthusiast Thanks for this great comparison

Incredible how close the S23 gets to a professional camera! I'm curious how good these photos would be if the sensor was physically bigger, like even just twice as big

I really like the 200MP. I'm not a good photographer, but I like taking photos. A lot of photos that would be throwaways are often saved by the 200MP camera because I can crop into the image without losing much details and change the look of it, which is can't do with the 12MP cameras I'm used to, because the quality quickly suffers. Obviously the answer to this is "just take better photos" but when I'm running and gunning with a phone, that often isn't an option, and being able to crop in without losing too much detail and saving the shot really helps.

A good and well presented comparison.

One other consideration (more of a benefit to hobbyists, vloggers, etc.) is that when you pair the S23U to a handheld gimble stabilizer, you move the results slider even closer to the pro cameras. Additionally, the handheld phone gimbles are $100. While a decent gimble stabilizer for a D7500 is four to five times that much.

It's astonishing how far we've come in terms of improving the capabilities of smaller cameras Im still using the iphone 5s and Galaxy s5 as my dailies, and it is absolutely insane how much of an advancement we made in a little over a decade

I plan on getting myself the 23 Ultra very soon! These videos just get me more n more pumped! Really good review! The UK is forreal so incredibly beautiful with the most amazing architecture you'll see just being out n about on your average day, it's incredible.

Just the comparison i didn't know I needed. Thank you.

Wow, what a fascinating review! Your comparison of the S23 Ultra's photography capabilities to a professional $5000 camera was truly eye-opening. I appreciate how you presented your findings in a clear and concise manner, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each device. Your side-by-side comparisons of the images and videos captured by both cameras were extremely helpful in showing just how capable the S23 Ultra is in producing high-quality content. Your expert analysis has not only provided valuable insights but also helped me make an informed decision when it comes to investing in a camera. Thank you for such an informative and thought-provoking video review, keep up the great work!

I bought the s23 ultra and I've been using it for a week and I have to say that the camera quality is amazing. I'm glad that it can compare even to professional cameras. Congrats for the great content!

Nice comparison video!

Really excited to get the s23 Ultra. Upgrading from an S22 ultra, mostly because of the battery and UFS 4.0 fast storage. But the camera upgrade is going to be a big bonus!

Amazing video comparison. Very impressed with the S23 Ultra images - look forward to your camera review.

Great vid Tom!

thanks for giving us this kind of contents, very helplfull

This is crazy, I cant believe that small lens in Samsung give such great details. The framing and composure also is key, which you nailed.

Lately I've learned to appreciate my phone as a daily walk around camera for some point and shoot street photography. Great to see the tech getting better and better!

Amazing review Tom,

This is really informative ❤

6:44 that s23 portrait mode is so satisfying to look at! I have no idea about photography techniques, but that photo quality is world class to me 😂.

I never thought that one day smartphone cameras be that good compared with professional cameras. I love s23 ultra.

great comparison, thank you!

I like that you are a guy that's so young and completely in photography world that you are an expert already, and that you view smartphone cameras as something that's not part of your daily life. That makes you able to be amazed by smartphone camera features that we all take for granted nowadays. I like seeing my daily device from a different perspective. Seems almost like magic compared to standard professional DSLR camera equipment.

I just pre-order my S23 Ultra (Red), and I'm blown away by your comparation! However, I think a camara will always be better! Excellent Vid!

I think these camera advancements are great not just in ways most people expect. A friend of mine is visually impaired (I think classified as legally blind) and he uses cellphone cameras in place of digital magnifiers a lot of times

absolutely loving the pics from my S23U

Great video comparison 👏

The improvements on the S23 cameras are insane

I actually got the S23 ultra and I have been using it as my daily driver for the past 4 days..unfortunately, I have NOT been able to get out to fully test the camera yet - but this looks VERY promising.

Good review, mate!

Great video dude!

Excellent job! This is a review I was hoping to see. I am a Nikon shooter but also have some Sony cameras and the one you have is a great camera! I will receive the S23 Ultra in a few days and purchased it primarily for photography and video usage. I am so impressed with the shots you got from it! TY and I will continue to follow your page.

It's wild how far phone cameras have game. In the recent years I slowly stopped using my camera as much because it was more convenient to just take my phone out of my pocket vs carrying around my camera. Good video!!

Wooow!! I thank you for your work! I live in Mexico and it's difficult to buy any technologies so this really help me to decide for a camera!!

Great Information about the Samsung Galaxy S23. I have the phone but didn't know how to use the camera properly. This is great!

Thanks Tom for showing us the DSLR and S23 Ultra comparison. Hope to see more future content like this and also hopefully sample photos we can download and zoom in these photos too. keep up the good work

It is honestly insane how close the S23 is to the camera

good job! going to grab this phone to do Landscape and Nature Photography. beats carrying around my DLSR and all the gear vs 1 capable phone, a tripod and a couple accessories.

Great video comparison. ❤❤❤

What a great, informative and professional review. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

S23 Ultra camera system is mind blowing🔥 Great video, keep it up!

Picked the ultra up yesterday and love the camera quality

I took a photography class a year and a bit ago and I haven't been able to let myself take a bad photo. I loved taking photos to capture memories and I've filled up my phone for a few months. It's funny that phones have evolved so much that they can even be on par with a camera.

I'm new on your channel but honestly I love your honesty on how you review and make everything clear and easy to understand. Kudos 👏

It's really amazing how the phone industry keeps improving when it comes to camera performance in comparison to professional camera, the evolution of tech 🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥

Great comparison!

Great comparison. Tx

Truly great review! Nice to see a professional camera comparison. It can get a bit confusing with all the phone reviews. Am happy to have found you, will have to catch up on your videos. Tempted for the S23 Ultra, but can't justify it at the moment. Maybe the S24 Ultra will be perfect. I saw the pixel 7 instore the other day, so will watch your 6 + 7 reviews. Even the Pixel 6 would be an improvement for me, as my old Android is out of updates. Best wishes to you Tom 🙂

Wow, really loved this camera comparison with my favorite combination (The Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Sony A7 V) can't wait to get my S23 U to capture some amazing content with.

I'm looking into the Samsung S23 Ultra. I believe the comparison photos you showed, made up my mind! Good job

Hi Tom, great review. You really lay out the case for getting the S23.

Man those results are insane. Crazy how far smartphone cameras have come in the past decade!

Thanks for the demo, looks pretty decent if you ask me. This phone has finally made me want to upgrade after nearly 5 years on my old phone.

Beautiful video keep going love from BD 🇧🇩

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs a $5000 pro camera. It's a fascinating topic that highlights the advancements in smartphone technology and how they're challenging traditional cameras. While it's true that smartphone cameras have come a long way in recent years, they still can't match the image quality and versatility of professional cameras. A pro camera is designed with a range of features and functions that allow for complete control over the image capture process, from the shutter speed and aperture to the lens and sensor size. That being said, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has some impressive features that make it a formidable competitor to a pro camera. Its high-resolution sensor, advanced autofocus system, and multiple lenses provide users with an incredible level of control and flexibility when it comes to capturing images. Ultimately, the choice between a smartphone camera and a pro camera will come down to your needs and preferences. If you're a professional photographer or someone who values the highest level of image quality and versatility, a pro camera will likely be the better option. But for most people, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will provide all the features and functions needed to capture stunning photos and videos.

i prefer the more subtle and natural camera look without the processing (specifically the sharpness and hdr) so i tend to use the pro mode in the camera app as my defacto everyday shooting mode. auto shutter and iso with exposure slightly tuned down rather than the fully automated photo mode. it's much harder to differentiate which shots are from a dedicated camera that way.

Samsung s23 is a beast ! Loved the portrait photos and ultrawide😍

loved the lesson and talk

Most awaited video ❤️

Really impressed by how far smartphones have come along!

This is actually a really interesting video, crazy how far smartphones have come!

Great video, very interesting to see what the S23U can do. I have a Sony A7C with Tamron 28-200mm and also a Samsung S21U. The Sony auto uploads to my google photos, along with the phone pics, and for me the differnce in quality is very apparant even without zooming in. I think the main factors are the natral bokeh, lack of over-sharpening (while actually resolving more detail) and more natltral colours. Looks like the S23U has improved things further but still a little way off in my opinion.

Excellent reviews❤

s23 ultra seems to be ticking all the right boxes everywhere

I would love to have an S23 Ultra.

At the end of the video you talked about night shot mentioning that you need tripod for professional camera to get good results. That is correct for long exposure. However phone takes reasonably long (or short) exposure and combine multiple exposures in one picture, as most of us know that. My point here is that Canon introduced the same principle in 2012. called handheld night scene in their DSLR line starting with EOS 650D if I remember correctly. So for more than 10 years we can take night scene without tripod and it works pretty good - I have used it. To be precise, it make low light photography much better, but it is not long exposure.

It’s amazing how far technology in the camera world has come
