[One (M9) General] trwnh:
Should be slightly better overall. In daylight, the M9 will take better shots than the S5 (on par with 2015 flagships in the right conditions), while at night, you may have more difficulty. If worst comes to worst, though, the M9 has a dual LED flash compared to the S5's single flash, so if you have to use flash, it'll look better. And the M9 can probably pass at ISO 400 or with a slightly longer exposure.

Ah, well, I've got some processed RAWs that came straight from FX File Manager today, so let's take a look at a few of those!

This was one of the first pictures I ever processed, and it's apparent that I did it from the JPG accidentally last time... after making sure to do it from the RAW it's obviously much cleaner, less noise particularly in the upper sky, and even the markings on the camera dial are legible.

Doing better overall, with some slight more noise in the shadows. But at least the details are still there.

Much more detail in the rocks than the last time I praised them. I went lighter on the denoise this time, I think.

Note how far you can zoom into this picture and how good it still looks. I made an Instagram Layout of zooming into the Hard Rock Cafe, then zooming into the logo on the side of it, and how you can still make it out.

Further clarity and improvements from resampling to 50% smaller:

I feel like this just shows the power of the M9's camera, either you can keep the full 20MP resolution and deal with the noise from having tiny pixels, or you can get the resampling benefits from resizing it to something reasonable like 5MP / 50%. 5MP are enough for printing something close to 8x12 at ~216ppi, which is great quality. You could be happy up to ~16x24 (~120ppi) as long as you're not looking too closely. Of course if you're happy with the 20MP results you can go ahead and print at ~16x24 and retain the superb quality.

I'm going through and redeveloping the ones I like just to make sure I did it from the file manager rather than the gallery, as I've done both in the past and can't remember which pictures came from which.

It's not too pretty. I'm not sure I would use Snap Camera or FreeDCam in auto mode with denoise off for low light... some amount of denoise will be needed. See for yourself.

Contains HTC Camera, Snap Camera, and FreeDCam in low light, with denoise on/off (or auto/RAW, whichever is applicable). For full auto, flash went off because I was taking pictures of some flowers from not too far away. The good news is that the flash isn't too bad... the bad news you'll see if you just look at the results with denoise off. I'd heavily recommend ISO capping, longer exposure times, because full auto isn't going to always produce usable results with those two apps.
