Let's Talk Tech
The Vivo X100 Pro has shot almost all of my B-Roll and outdoor footage this year. It’s a monster camera system, and it’s dramatically sped up my video production. It’s one of the absolute best mobile photography options available today, and it embarrasses similarly priced options from Apple and Samsung.

So help me I’m doing a reaction video. The end is nigh.
Following Samsung’s Unpacked event, the guys at PetaPixel had a lot of thoughts to share about the S24 Ultra. During a recent podcast, they asked:
“Is AI camera tech enough to warrant a new phone model, since there wasn’t any change in the hardware?”
Which is a pretty complicated topic to dig into. While the gents had a lot to say about Samsung (and Samsung’s competition), I felt they also missed some key points.
So here we are. I’m responding to a podcast.
I AM SO SORRY. Continue reading “Galaxy S24 Ultra: How PetaPixel (and Other Photographers) Keep Getting Android Cameras Wrong…”

Here’s why you might want to stick with a more “mainstream” photo option!

Galaxy S23 Ultra vs Vivo X90 Pro Photo Showdown!
What’s REALLY better for image quality, more resolution or a bigger sensor?
I feel the WOW-WORTHY-RESOLUTION claims from Samsung a little troubling. The best way to test this MEGAPICKLE claim? We gotta compare the Note 23 against a PHOTO CHAMP!
The Vivo X90 Pro is ready for a fight. Will FOUR TIMES MORE PICKLES take down the 1″ sensor on the Vivo?

I got a comment on the podcast that I felt was important to comment on.
A LOT of techies act like the pro and manual modes on our phone cameras are SOOOO complicated to use. Those settings can look a little intimidating, but they’re really not that difficult to use. We can learn a lot from professional photographers in setting up a good shot, and preparing for a specific kind of action.
