Samsung NX1! 

Hello :)
You know... it is about the NX1, my never ending love! I have the M1 Mark II and my primary camera, the Sigma Sd Quattro but... the feeling with NX1 is unique.
Just to share with you some shots with the NX1 and that primary amazing lens.

I played a while also with the Samsung S9Plus... with the latest firmware it is absolutely amazing (I guess it is about the 1.5 fixed aperture)

Well, as tech-addicted I would say... absolutely yes, full-frame at all but I am following one of best Italian channel of photography and recently they spoken about that.
The video is with the Italian language, but activate the subtitles and enjoy, it is really interesting (Subject: Why I am not using Full-Frame Cameras):
 
 
 

The R5 Is not a camera, it looks like a smartphone where you are working around custom ROMs LMAO
It is anyway unbelievable as no one in Canon still drop 2 lines... and meanwhile the camera is on the market. How that could be possible?

definitively I love my NX1 😛

Insert your own "Well, the heat management is certainly innovative, I'll give them that." joke here

I have that with me 😛 (Lumia 1020)

 
And here it is the full size of the Magic Sydney shoot...


 

definitively I love my NX1 😛
 
 



 

Let's start! I would say... Lens!!! And I have a very old NX1 🙂 I understood I should invest in theory and understand the art of shooting... no needed an expensive body for myself

Sydney today behind my P40Pro

It is insanely detailed

This lens is insane 🙂

Both shot on Mi 10 Pro.
 
Here's more from mobile photography (same Xiaomi tag but could be some other):

P40 Pro is the best smartphone camera out there in 2020.
The dilemma is this...
Google Services hack works, but is flakey. I have it working, but for how long? First time I tried, took me 5 hours to get it working and then reset itself after I restarted the handset!
Phone overall is not as nice in the hand as the Samsung S20 Ultra. A sharp metal edge at bottom digs into skin. Speaker is mediocre. Screen is smaller than I'd like (I am a Note 10+ / iPhone XS Max guy). But yes, the camera especially 5x zoom and ultra wide is in different league to the Samsung S20 Ultra 5x and ultra wide, especially in low light. The main camera is better to pixel peep than the S20 Ultra as well, but I prefer the colours sometimes on the S20 Ultra. P40 Pro dynamic range in the Leica colour modes is limited, and the HDR is laid on too much in the normal mode. The RAW files are amazing. The S20 Ultra RAW files are noisier and not as sharp.
So thumbs up for the P40 Pro camera in terms of hardware. Best sensor, best lenses, best zoom and best ultra wide sensor and lens.
However in reality, as an all-round phone the S20 Ultra feels more premium. Just another level up in terms of build, design, overall experience. That is not to say the P40 Pro is not also very good in these areas. These are all top end phones.
Next up the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has a very good main sensor. But it is let down by the processing with dreadful skin tones and poor quality lenses. The zoom isn't as good, nether is ultra wide camera. The biggest problem however is how susceptible it is to slight finger prints on lens. Even almost unnoticeable amounts of greese will cause huge vertical or horizontal flares on the image whereas an iPhone doesn't do this.
But the kicker is the Mi 10 Pro main sensor images are better than S20 Ultra with same sensor!! So Xiaomi got more out of the Samsung sensor than Samsung's own engineers. Xiaomi went for resolution with 2x2 binning from the 108MP. Whereas Samsung went for... I don't know what... 12MP 3x3 binning with over sharpening ramped up! But I has good dynamic range and colour, satisfying skin tones.
All in all...
I wish I could transplant the P40 Pro camera hardware into the S20 Ultra.
My iPhone XS Max still has the most natural looking images of all of them straight out of camera with no additional processing, but it feels dated in technical terms and dreadful zoom ability in comparison to the folded periscope optics of the S20 Ultra and P40 Pro.
By the way the 8K video on Mi 10 Pro and S20 Ultra is interesting. I'm comparing both at the moment.
The P40 Pro video is good too in 4K/60p, but it lacks 8K.
I feel like keeping the P40 Pro for the camera and using S20 Ultra as daily driver.
It is an extraordinary street photography camera, is the P40 Pro, with amazingly deep depth of field on the 125mm 5x zoom end. This is unique. Everything is in focus in a telephoto frame! It's not so bad in dim light either! It nails focus every time in fact, whereas the S20 Ultra can sometimes be a bit hesitant.
