I don't think it is down talk .... i can just say that you will use it one time and forgot about it ... and use auto for the rest of time ...
[Galaxy S6 General] abubasim:
Probably not if you switch from Samsung's app to for example Snap Camera HDR. This is the one I use most of the time and this is the camera app I keep on my home screen. Only those times I need to take a quick photo (double press home button) I use Samsung's camera app.

And whether or not you use auto or manual is not related to what format to save the photos in.
[Galaxy S6 General] zdravkodubravec:
It dose not ... for every day use I like jpg.... and if I want something more I have my great Nikon D80 with sigma 18-200 ... so ....
[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
I couldn't care less about RAW. Don't have time for that.
[Galaxy S6 General] NexusDro:
Can we now compare the raw quality of the pictures taken with an isocell with pictures taken by a Sony sensor?
[Galaxy S6 General] abubasim:
Some of us have more than just a casual interest in photography and we look forward to being able to shoot in RAW. I expect this making the S6 a good replacement for at least a point-and-shoot camera.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
Exactly. I shoot raw when I use my camera, when using phone I couldn't care less about RAW.

I doubt any phone will ever be better than P&S like RX100.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
This thread seriously not intended for casual photo taker. If you guys so hate RAW to arrive on S6, I'll suggest sell out your S6(or don't upgrade to 5.1.1) and sticking with DSLR 24hrs a day or just leave this thread.
[Galaxy S6 General] zdravkodubravec:
If i have at least 2 times better dslr camera I don't consedr my self as casual photo taker ... in my case I don't hate it, but I couldn't care less if it comes now in this update or in a next one ... i do professional photography with pro equipment ....

And a casual pt is the one that dose it with smartphone ....
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
It's very easy to check out who is professional and who's not, in my experiences. Nowadays many guys who call their own professional. However, the one real professional should able to use all kind of tools even though it is just a phone and focus on himself not the equipment. It's real not good to spam DSLR is professional while phone isn't and deny the phone to has RAW.
[Galaxy S6 General] abubasim:
The RX100 is not a P&S! It's an enthusiast compact with a price tag of close to 1000 USD. If you're talking about Sony then the DSC-W800 for around 80 USD is a typical P&S.
[Galaxy S6 General] zdravkodubravec:
It is just a mater of time they implement it compleatly ... so just wait and you will get it ... and for now use what you have ...

I don't really knowe how could we will with old mobile phones .... when now nothing is good to us ...

And to be honest I need more time to do a great photo with smartphone then dslr ...

Like you will use macro lens fore one thing , it is the same .... i use dslr fore one thing and smartphone for other ... it would be fun to do more with smartphone .... to some extend raw will give us freedom of expression, but only to people that knowe how to use tools and software and to point out not many people do ...
[Galaxy S6 General] acencen:
I also notice that. Is the slowest shutter speed now limited to 1/1.2 ? Can anyone confirm that ?

G4's take > 30s, why Samsung limit the shutter speed to only 1/1.2 :(
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
Why should P&S have to be less than 100 USD? P&S has nothing to do with price (though they are generally cheaper, for obvious reasons). Some people may call it as 'Enthusiastic Compact', but it's still technically a P&S.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=s9_acss...rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=2097277322&pf_rd_i=330405011
[Galaxy S6 General] abubasim:
If you read Wikipedia's definition of P&S:

A point-and-shoot camera, also called a compact camera, is a still camera designed primarily for simple operation.[1] Most use focus free lenses or autofocus for focusing, automatic systems for setting the exposure options, and have flash units built in.

You will not find RAW capture and manual exposure controls on a P&S but you will find these on an enthusiast compact.

The Wikipedia article does also say this about name confusion:

The terms "point and shoot" and "compact camera" are used differently in different parts of the world. In the UK point-and-shoot predominantly means a fully automatic camera, regardless of size or shape. A "compact camera" on the other hand, has a small body, regardless of any fully automatic capabilities. Thus a DSLR can have point-and-shoot modes, and some compact cameras are not designed for point and shoot operation, with the equivalent controls to a DSLR.

The use of "point-and-shoot" to mean a small or compact camera regardless of automation capabilities has long been predominant in the US, and in the 21st century it began spreading elsewhere.
[Galaxy S6 General] vincent2167:
You can get significantly better pictures with the RAW format (mainly in terms of dynamic range or colors).

I have conducted a few RAW vs JPEG tests on an LG 4 and Nexus 5. Here are links to my different test albums:

LG G4 raw vs jpeg: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132126899@N06/sets/72157652284539164

Nexus 5 raw vs jpeg: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132126899@N06/sets/72157651963991539

Nexus 5 raw vs iPhone 6: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132126899@N06/sets/72157651905043277

It would be great if someone having the S6 with the latest firmware could upload a couple of DNG files here.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
1/1.2(0.83s) pretty much the longest S6 could take now in Snap Camera HDR(not sure about Camera FV-5). Yup, it sucks big times since G4 up to 30s exactly 36 times longer than us. I think that is our OIS max limit if you plan to shoot it handheld @ 0.83s. Indeed, sometimes I will use a small tripod though 30s is too over but I would like to see a bit longer like 1 to 2s.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
In the old times, small memory card was extremely slow and will take ages to save a RAW file and it is just not realistic and cpu/memory was too slow as well. So, you see no P&S camera supports RAW in the good old days.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I've checked out your flickr and wow RAW is noticeably better, more sharper and detailed.
[Galaxy S6 General] abubasim:
But in the old days, a point and shoot camera was typically a very basic camera with very few manuals controls and no manufacturer would have the idea to add any kind of RAW capture on such a camera.

I have such a camera: Olympus C-350 Zoom. Pretty good camera but the only advanced features are macro and panorama modes. But then I also have a Canon PowerShot S90 which is more like an enthusiast compact with both RAW capture and fully manual controls for exposure. The price difference between these two cameras were about 3 times.

I still own a Sony camera from 2001 which I think is before the camera makers introduced RAW (correct me if I'm wrong!). It's a DSC-S75 and it offers TIFF capture for uncompressed images. It takes about 20 seconds to save a 3 megapixel TIFF.

Manual Camera compatibility test on S6 5.1.1 firmware G920FXXU2BOFJ

Where is the RAW support ? :confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] dehnhaide:
Worry not!

Manual Camera hasn't been updated in a long time and their data is wrong. The RAW is there. Just install Snap Camera HDR and you will see it's working. I am currently running some tests and will post back. FV-5 camera is not quite ok as per latest test.
[Galaxy S6 General] ranismo:

[Galaxy S6 General] vincent2167:
Can you please upload a couple DNG files in various conditions (good light and low light) ?

It would be great if you could do that ! :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I've also owned many small camera in the past. I understand the P&S camera you referred is credit card size and enthusiast compact is high-end pocket camera with a bit bigger in size. The P&S hardware was real slow and won't have enough cpu/memory to buffer the RAW. The enthusiast compact like Canon PowerShot S90 on the other hand, it can support higher speed of SDHC to achieve a faster writing speed.

Marketing is another major reason though, they just never put many features in credit card size camera bcoz that would hurt the sales of enthusiast compact.
[Galaxy S6 General] abubasim:
Actually not necessarily different in size - just in feature set. The Olympus C-350 and the Canon PowerShot S90 are almost the same size. But one is for the novice while the other is for the more keen photographer.
[Galaxy S6 General] Speed_Br:
I'm really looking foward to get my hands on raw suport, at this next update.

Waiting for some pictures here.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
It's hard to tell sometimes bcoz some enthusiast compact can be slightly smaller as you said it but most of them with good performance should real a bit bigger. I think marketing strategy is the main problem. And nowadays, we see only mid-end to high-end smartphones got RAW like Nexus5, 1+1, S6, M9, G4. I think it is reasonable consider the price they are, especially S6, M9, G4 is real not cheap.

Try SnapCamera and it got 1/1.2th(0.83s).

Anyway, I'm still waiting for real RAW campaign of IMX240 vs. ISOCell but seems still not many user received 5.1.1 til now.
[Galaxy S6 General] sonadsog:
Since the new Note 5 now has all the API 2 implementation, hopefully, other models should get it
[Galaxy S6 General] marcusjt:
FWIW, I'm running the LMY47X.G920FXXU3COI9 stock build of Android 5.1.1 for UK network EE, and the Camera 2 API tester app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test tells me that all features except RAW are supported. So no RAW for me yet.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
That app is wrong but it might be also partly correct because the current API2 implement is buggy but you can still get used it.
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
I would stand by it, did the test, said I couldent shot in raw. Download some camera apps and low and behold I can't capture raw photos.

i do have different good cameras, but the point is:

The best camera is the one that you carry with you...isn´t it?

I don´t allways have my DSLR or other digicam with me....do you?
[Galaxy S6 General] marcusjt:
UPDATE: The first couple of times I tried shooting RAW in Snap HDR (the latest beta, FWIW you have to enable the Camera 2 API setting in "Other" settings before the "Save RAW Images" setting shows up) it only took JPGs so I didn't think that RAW, but then when I tried again the next day it did work (it saves photso as DNG) though the results are weird, the camera doesn't focus or expose properly while capturing, and the resulting file appears purple when viewed in Snap HDR's own photo viewer, though it's fine when I load the DNG into SnapSeed for editing. (To be clear, the image isn't purple but it's still out of focus and overexposed)

So the test is wrong, it IS possible to shoot RAW with my COI9 firmware... but either the driver is buggy or Snap HDR is... not sure which...
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
No matter what I do I cant get a DNG photo, and at this point im just going to wait for 6.0 if Samsung dosent add raw support to the stock camera im done buying their phones.

I decided to invest in a cheap smartphone and purchased a 3GB P3000S (6752) as I wanted the 5.5" P7000 functionality but without the phablet size. It's currently on it's way from Singapore and due to be with me in the next 1-2 weeks.

Stupidly (!) I'd assumed this was a functioning smartphone that would be on a Lollipop upgrade path. I've just been over to the Elephone forum and it appears that this phone is already abandonware with a bunch of malfunctional features (compass/GPS issues, camera, battery life).

Is anyone in the UK using this phone and do you have anything good to say about it?!?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Traace:
Elephone is abandon all its phones fast.

Dont expect much updates there. They push new smartphones so fast, their developers can't care about older ones. I know they announce lollipop for this phone but we shoudn't belive in such PR stuff.

Its very important to get all reviews, company release cycle, company update behavior etc before buy a phone blind.

Users also report the P3000S with 3GB Ram has only 1,3GB free on idle

1-2Weeks? Wow. Hongkong->Germany usually 3-4days non-express

I would take my money and ship the phone back. Looking for a better MTK, but don't expect much update wonders in the china phone world, at least this time.

Hi m8s,

i bought a Orange SPV M700 when i've been in London to work, but now i'm living in italy and i would unlock to italian providers and debrand.

Is there anybody that could help me in this job?

Do i have to unlock first and then debrand(i found on ebay guys that sell unlocking software)with the italian ROM?

Could i use the HTC P3600(unbranded rom)without a previous unlocking?

Is it better to load the new rom with WM6 o wait for it and use the WM5 one?

Hey guys I am sorry if this question is asked again, but does the ram management issue on the s6 cause lag in day to day usage or it just deters the multitasking performance? Gonna buy the s6 tomorrow, and Im damn excited :D
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
It will mean if you use the back key to come out of apps, sometimes they will reload, such as phone and messaging etc, but only usually games will be closed regularly and aggressively. General lag isn't a problem, just a slight delay loading aps back into memory once they've closed.

I find if I back out of apps using the home key this problem is reduced.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albysajan:
How about scrolling through apps such as chrome ,Facebook ,play store. Does this issue cause any lag?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkz89:
I've never really experience any huge lag. I turn off my device once in 2 days so maybe that helps.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
90% of users won't even notice the memory management "issue". Only hardcore multitaskers will. The "issue" is the S6 kicks apps out of cache very quickly so whenever you tap the multitask button, the app relaunches/redraws instead of resuming from a hibernated state. There is a little lag (~0.5 second), but it is not a dealbreaker that would prevent you from enjoying the phone.

Chrome lags on every device I have owned, including the S6. Any app that uses Android WebView will lag.

I don't use facebook, so I can't speak for that app.

No Play store lag on my S6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albysajan:
Well that cleared all of my doubts :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
Really, I did'nt notice the problem with multitasking (because the S6 is so fast) before I read about it here.

Also, all the **** you hear about the battery life is not true. Of course, it's not the best out there (only 2550mah, so of course not) but it easily get you through the day (normal usage) and at least into another. The battery have gotten way better with a few updates (it was damn bad at the start) and might get even better when 5.1 hits in a few weeks.

Just turn of basic stuff, that noone uses anyway (almost) like, location history, wifi always scanning and such. :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albysajan:
Glad to hear that, by the way 5.1 just came out recently and its showing mixed reactions among the users. Some people says that the battery life has improved a lot after the update and some just says its the same.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faspaiso:
No, it's not out yet. At least not for the international version. Some users think, that the reason only one carrier got it yet, is because it is a "test" version. Not sure tho.

But well, as said, only out for one carrier for over a week now.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
Yeah the battery life is overblown. It is no worse than any other phone with <2500 mAh battery. Anyone coming from a 3000+ mAh battery will be disappointed, but anyone that is used to plugging in every day won't know any different.

If you are rooted, I also recommend App Ops to manage permissions and save more battery :good:
