Nikon Coolpix s6200
10x optical zoom
Nikon quality low light images
Sony Cyber-shot m630
5x optical zoom
Samsung mv800
5x optical zoom
If I had to choose one of them, I'd go with the Nikon

Thanks above but was looking for something more in terms of technical . Not just about zoom. Coolpix is out of the running now due to when using camcorder and zoom you can hear on playback the zoom sound like a drill

Well with cameras that small, there's not a lot of technical difference.
The higher optical zoom is always better than digital zoom.
Nikon has reports of excellent low light pictures.
I've got a canon sx210is with 14x optical zoom, Jessops are doing it now for £149 so it's probably available elsewhere for less.
I bought it as a 40m dive enclosure is available for it.
I also got a slip on extension tube that allows you to use filters.
The low light abilities of the camera really impressed me.
This video was taken on a dark boat during a dark overcast day. The only lights that were on are the coloured disco ones shooting around
I took this out the front a few nights ago when we had snow. Only street lighting was used.

It all depends what you want to use it for.
If you just want a point and shoot to take snaps, then go for the cheapest one of the bunch.

That's some funky dancing lol. Thanks for the answer.

Note 2, Neuxs 4, iPhone 5 Screen Comparison

Well I got my second Nexus 4 yesterday (first one belonged to my company) and I did a quick comparison in close up photos to my Note 2 and my iPhone 5. I would have compared it to my HTC DNA but I returned it already back to Verizon.
This is obviously not a professional comparo, just some close up shots of the screens to give you a feel for the color and resolution differences. The colors on the Note 2's RGB AMOLED are amazing (Huge difference vs. Pentile Matrix on other Samsung AMOLEDS), so is the iPhone 5, the Nexus is a little washed out when stacked up against the other two but still quite a nice screen.
All 3

Note 2
Nexus 4
iPhone 5
For close up TEXT.
Note 2
Nexus 4
iPhone 5
When zoomed all the way out, all 3 screens offers up text that are all very clear and legible. With these screens of 250+ppi, everything is nice and sharp. When I hear people claiming that their Nexus 4 is a million times better than the Note 2's screen, I just laugh. All 3 screens are very comparable in crispness, the Note 2 offers the most color pop obviously, followed by the iPhone 5 and the Nexus lagging behind with the colors being a little washed out.
:good:

See now here's what you did wrong in my opinion:
- 3 different backgrounds. That in itself doesn't permit any constructive criticism on screen comparison.
- Different icons for screenshot. How do you want to compare color fidelity when you're not even looking at the same thing?
Otherwise, good job on the text, it's nice to see those three up close and personal. I do like the iphone 5's results on that one...
**edit** Another question comes to mind: What camera did you use? Same one for all three or did you use one of the other phones to take pictures of the others? And did you have sufficient lighting in the room to permit the ISO to be at a respectable level?
As for faithful color reproduction, we do know that AMOLED oversaturates their colors, which makes it seem more vivid and stand out. Which is not necessarily the best of thing, but when you do get used to AMOLED, it is hard to look anywhere else and not see faults everywhere else...

I'm sure I saw these pictures over a week ago on this very forum - so it's not even your comparison or your double posting. :/

Nexus screen stinks.. Compared to the 3s it looked washed out and faded but I will say it has a higher DPI and text looks a bit more crisp.
I personally would pick color over text sharpness.

Do i have a faulty camera on my z1?

Hello, please check these photos taken with
my z1, and tell me if my camera is faulty or not?
The sun was almost down at that time but still bright enough for a nice picture in my opinion

I had my nokia n95 on my other pocket and it's photos had more detail and quality

You might be in high iso mode. Check your camera settings and bring ISO to auto, and exposure and focus to auto. If auto mode still gives you ugly photo, make ISO to 100 under daylight. Also see if exposure compensation setting is set to zero (middle). See what happens.
And also, you might be in night mode. That makes overexposed photos in daylight.

I used manual and auto and both came with same quality
Auto uses multi meterimg and gave me very dark images
So i chose manual, single autofocus and center metering
Iso and exposure and every thing to auto
Hdr off and stabilisation off
Under sun light i get good photos
These photos were taken at light condition similar to very early morning
I think foliage and trees are weak spot for this camera

Try using center weighted metering. What do you mean multi meteribg? Spot metering creates overexposed highlights when the center of the image is of dark color.

Note 5 Color Management Photo Printing Issue

Has anyone noticed a color management issue when printing photos that have been taken by the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rear camera?
I've tested 3 different output sources (2 Canon and 1 HP photo quality printer using premium photo paper) as well as multiple phone devices (another identical Note 5, and also older Galaxy S1 and S2). I have also tested with a 35mm digital camera. When printing photos from either one of the 2 Notes 5's, all 3 printers color output is off. The prints are substantially darker and not as vibrant than what is viewed on the phone or computer screen. However, if photos are printed that were made with the 35mm camera or the older Galaxy devices, the photos the output is as perfect as you're going to get. Basically, this told me that there is something wrong with the color management software that is build into the phone in how its translating to output devices.
I contacted Samsung and they of course went through all of the potential causes as I did and they came to the same conclusion as I have. They've passed the information up through internal 'management' and stated it could take months for anything to be done such as a software update. I highly doubt it will go anywhere though.
I would love to hear back from others that have this similar issue and if they were able to resolve it.
Thanks

Try changing this and it will probably start matching the photo output.

The function you're showing is for screen color control, not color management of how the data taken by the camera is translated to a printer. I honestly don't care if the screen is not that accurate, only if the pictures the phone takes are accurate (or very close).

Maybe your printer color management settings need to be adjusted for photos taken with your note 5.
I've had a few prints from my note 5 and they are spot on.

I find that hard to believe given that I tested 3 different printers and all resulted in the same issue. What brand/model of printer do you have?

My home printer is rarely used for photo printing, it's an HP 4500 series all in one.
Most of my prints get sent to various online retailers to print for me. I've never had a dark or bad one come back.
I'm curious on what or how yours is doing what it does. Very strange.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I agree its strange since I've never had this issue with any other photo device until the Note 5.
The best way to describe it is that the colors are darker than they should be which makes the print less vibrant as the actual photo. I tested another shot yesterday against a pure white background. The white printed as a light grayish color.

Question Manual mode for Pixel 7 - camera app

Hi everyone. I have been wondering for a while after using the Pixel 7 for 2 weeks.
Is there a way to force the Pixel 7 to operate in a manual mode that enables us to control the WB, focus, ISO, and shutter speed? If not, what would be a good third-party app that does?
I came from a OnePlus 6, so I am a little disappointed that the Pixel 7 cannot do that. Any thoughts?

Open the camera, click on the drop-down from the top left, more settings.
I had the OnePlus 7t. I miss that phone, and I dislike their new skin/dumb options.

Hi Grandpajiver.
Thank you for the suggestion. This is not what I am referring to. I am interested to seek from others if there is a full manual mode like something similar to OnePlus devices or Samsung's.
Still open to suggestions.

Open Camera could be what you're looking for

Even with different apps that support Camera2 I think you'll spin your wheels. With unofficial Gcam mods or Open Camera you might make some headway with ISO and white balance, maybe a focus override. For manual shutter and aperture there will be obstacles not worth pursuing. These phones just aren't made for shutterbug tweaking.
On one hand it's unfortunate that manual exposure isn't a thing with Pixels. On the other hand, better than average output with a minimum of fuss is why Pixel cameras are better than average. I admit I'd rather use Samsung or Sony camera systems but I'd rather use a Pixel for everything else.
