Update since I didn't explain clearly enough in the video. When I say recording limit I mean that eventually the heat from the RX won't let you record anymore. Both do have recording limits on each clip.
I would pick Sony for the color alone, that horrible galaxy saturation is very off putting. This test seems too much focused on ease of use which is a win for smartphone of course. The fact Sony has so much bigger sensor is an auto win for me. It might be more fair test if you compared it with some classic point and shot.
You can fix the saturation with the camera settings on the phone even... I do think it's ok. Yes the sensor size is bigger but then why not get an APS-C such as a Sony a6400 which is about the same price or even a D3500 if you're limited by the price. The RX100 is way too expensive for such a small sensor. it's almost the same price as my D7500 plus my Tamron 18-400.
Based on what? The only difference is the IS in 4K and the P20 Pro has a better front and rear camera than the Pixel, especially in low-light, it's also faster, has a much better battery and more memory. I'm not sure how you can say that the Pixel is better here unless you have buyers remorse. The Pixel shoots better out of the box but the P20 Pro is an actual tool that photographers can use, it's images survive post-processing with no noise.
The colors on the S9 look off and too oversaturated because you probably have HDR on and you're processing the video on a Mac. It shouldn't look like this, there's a video on youtube that explains this, I'll link it here for you in a reply when I find it. Great video!
I was about to comment at how saturated and red everything looked, but then I saw this comment and followed the link. I love people that dig deeper. Thanks mate.
You wanted comments so I try my best to deliver. I think the whole video is a joke if you truly think "Everything about the Galaxy S9 is better in my mind than the RX 100 mark 5". Are you blind? The video is way worse in S9 and even more in the dark. The lack of details in S9 compared to RX100V is notable. Autofocus.. I'm betting you used the default autofocus speed with RX 100 V. There is faster option also.. maybe you should try that. And the JPG test. For real? You compare well focused image of RX100V with totally out of focus shot taken with S9.. and you say that "Both are really great.".. wow. "Samsung is a little more saturated"? Are you aware of the RX100V creative styles and profiles? I bet you have no clue. There is the 5 minute limit in RX100V. I'm just wondering why that is a problem. What do you really wan't to shoot for 10-15 minutes? If you are looking for a device for recording long videos neither of these are the right device for you. In that case you should buy a videocamera. I even disagree with your comment about the easy navigation in RX100V. You say that you think that RX100V is quite easy to navigate. I disagree again. Ofcourse you can learn the system but it just isnt well organized. And next you compare point and shoot to a DSLR. Really? What is the point in there? Yes I understand that the Sony A6300 is cheaper but it isn't point and shoot. Try to find another point and shoot with same features that RX100V has and then tell me the price. You know it's a lot harder to put all the features in smaller camera body. And obviously you need the lens for A6300 which you didn't bother to mention ($$$). Would love to see how you put your A6300 with the lens in to your pocket. The next joke is that you try to say that S9 can mimic sensor size with computing power. I bet you have no clue what sensor size even means or how it affects the quality. No camera phone will ever be able to create the same quality with as small camera inside as they have. For the same reason DSLR cameras produce more quality over RX100V. I'm not a salty Sony fan boy. I just can't stand spreading so much false information to other people. I'm just wondering if the quality is so good in S9 why do you use A6300 to record your video footage? I can answer for you.. you use the A6300 because it has bigger sensor and for that reason better quality... see what I did there? So you are telling me you are "regular person" and for that reason you don't want bigger sensor or manual controls though you are filming with A6300 just for those reasons. Amazing. I needed point and shoot camera that is very light and that I can have in my pocket all times. For that reason I have watch so many videos about RX100V that I can't even remember. This video about RX100V is by far the least informative and failed in so many ways it's just surreal for me.
The Everyday Dad the plus has better zoom functionality due to its secondary camera unfortunately absent on the s9 plus,more ram and better battery life
I use both of my s9+ and Sony a6500 for my videos. I prefer to use a6500 as much as I can because it gives deeper depth to the videos. S9+ is super convenient, lightweight, and simple to use. However, I can't really get the cinematic feeling to it with my s9+. Both of them are great, but the phone can't beat the richness from the camera. So I mainly use a6500 for all my crafting videos and s9+ for the quick vlog.
I totally agree, I’ve been using the a7iii and the s9 and while the a7iii is amazing I do still really like filming on the s9 since it’s so easy and looks really good 😁👍
The S9 can only record in 4K 30fps for 10min and in 4K 60fps for 5min, so I don't know how you recorded for 15 to 20min unless you hit stop and pressed record again.
S9 so saturated, wow.... (don't know how people find that beautiful) and I'm assuming it only shoots JPG, no raw, which makes things worse. Depth of Field on the RX100V is also better. The only thing shown here that really amazed me was how fast S9's autofocus really is. Other than that, the RX100V produces way better pictures. Every single footage taken from the S9 in this video seems oversaturated, as if a teenager crazy for filters using Instagram applied one on every single photo. I think i'll wait on the Pixel 3 before switching. I don't know if this was a video to promote the S9, but it had the opposite effect on me, hahaha. But great video, nonetheless.
I found out after publishing this video the s9 and macs don’t play nice. There’s a weird picture profile thing that adds a serious red tint to everything. I’ve got a video comparing the a7iii to the s9 where I was able to correct the files and while still a little saturated it’s way better.
The galaxy has a pro menu in which you can adjust colors, contrast and stuff so you can get as much dynamic range as possible. Yes its auto mode is not jaw dropping but its manual mode is ridiculously good if one kniws how to use it. But the rx 100v eats any of todays phones IMO
I know that the S9 has a great camera and that virtually every photo can be edited in pre (by menus adjustments) or post (by software), but then again, in this video, we are talking about photos taken straight from auto, right?
yeah, but even straight out from auto mode, pictures on s9/s9 plus arent this saturated, i can confirm becoz i am using a s9 plus atm. And like mentioned above, the only reason the photos look so saturated here is becoz it was processed on a mac, and there is some issue when u process samsung photos on a mac becoz of the color profile, hence why this video doesnt exactly show how s9 performs in real life, its actually much better, but yeah, the pictures are a bit saturated, not as much as in the video, but yeaaa
NOTE; Purely for taking photos, I use the Canon SX530 camera. It has one huge advantage, it has a 50x optical zoom lens. You can be a long way away from your subject, and still get a closeup shot. FYI; I bought mine during a Black Friday sale for $250. The camera itself is just average, but having that sorta zoom ability is super awesome. That's why I take it with me everywhere I go.
Companies like Canon are making "super zoom" cameras cause they know that simple "point and shoot" cameras are being overrun by cell phones. I can confirm that having a small camera with a 50x zoom is a huge advantage over any cell phone camera. I've seen some cameras with 65x zooms. By the way, the 50x zoom also works in video mode.
I think if you're doing any kind of casual nature shooting you want something with an optical zoom such as the Sony. You need that reach to pull subjects in. Cellphones have digital zoom but there is the image quality lose. Other than that I too find myself using my cellphone (currently a Samsung S7) more and more. Even though I have many other cameras to choose from.
S9 very impressive for a phone, wins in a couple things (4k time, auto focus, maybe even speed of exposure correction). But for me, the RX100 HANDILY beat the S9 every single time, and it should. But considering the cost, and just how good a phone like the S9 or Pixel 2 is, I can totally understand the argument to get rid of the RX100 and just use your phone if you don't need the absolute best quality. Also one thing I wish that was compared and important for vloggers is the effectiveness of the built in image stabilization, since not all of us want to spend hundreds more after buying a expensive device to begin with! As for the Mark V, it is in my opinion a bit overpriced. You can get the Mark 4 which is almost as good for a couple hundred less, and if still shot image quality is the only thing that matters to you, you can even knock it down to the Mark 3, the Mark 2, or even the Mark 1 has FANTASTIC image quality at a MUCH more competitive price. The Mark 1 is phenomenal value and for under $400 I'd choose it over the S9 if all you seek is a great camera and you don't need the flip out screen or 4k recording. I personally find the Mark 4 the most interesting bang for the buck in the RX100 series.
if s9 is impressive for a phone, u haven't seen iphone. s9 might be good in android's poor camera range that is actually hyped up by iphone haters, but i am shocked how propaganda and biased reviews made me buy samsung s9 + to only use it in real life and seeing how bad it is even in comparison to my old iphone 6 plus!
With the camera you can zoom in much farther (especially in the new RX100 M6), that's one thing (on its own the reason to prefer a camera). You can be more creative with the camera- like shutter speed effects, exposure, etc, apart from bokeh (which the phone produces artificially and with questionable quality). You can edit RAW pictures as well.
It's not the s9 fault, when he tranfered the videos to his mac, his mac and samsung don't mix well, the mac saturated stuff so much, especially the red, normal s9 saturates a little
Possibly. Well I don't have Mac to compare. I don't have s9. Only S6,7,recently 8. But when I compare S8 with Canon g7x the difference is soo massive. And g7x mark2 is even much better in many regards, but Sony RX100 mark2 is a little better with the pictures. Sony RX100 mark 6 is so many generations advanced, so I presume is much better than Mark 2 that I use to work with. So how can they possibly compare. I bet that the pictures of Samsung S9 don't compare even with Sony RX100 mark 1. There are only 2 ways people can see otherwise. 1. if they are half blind or if they are looking on amazing big phone screen and smaller screen on Sony RX100 m6 and say. - O, this are so similar. Please open on big screen like PC monitor.
Watch the video first. He said that if you are a professional you should probably get the Sony, but 99% of people S9 is better cuz you dont need two video devices to carry around. Stop whining and watch the video.
:: 7:40 when are they going to put the most basic cheap LCD on the back of phones to make the good back-facing camera work like a selfie, where you can see what you are framing?! It can't cost more than $3 to put a tiny LCD on the back, can it? Sheesh. Or a mirror.
Probably a thickness issue. Same reason we don't have larger batteries; phone makers are stubborn and insist that consumers want thin, thin, sexy phones instead of a small increase in thickness for great things like bigger batteries, or second LCD screens. *sigh*
the zoom and dynamic range (especially with raw files) is the big difference with the rx100 V (and zoom on the mk VI). if you are NOT taking advantage of professional features than the s9 or pixel 2 will take just as good if better photos and videos for most people
The Everyday Dad Dedicated camera makers need to step up their in-camera processing and image transfer/sharing features. Otherwise, most people will just stop caring about their products. Samsung made excellent mirrorless cameras, but had quit this market because it knew what will happen.
Most interchangeable lens camera producers have NFC, WiFi and Bluetooth in their cameras for quick image sharing with phones, tablets and computers nowadays. They've modernised quite a lot.
They really haven't. Hired photographers are still commonplace at larger events such as weddings. What's changed is that people who couldn't afford to hire photographers in the past can now get record the memories of their weddings thanks to the lowest-end cameras (i.e. smartphone cameras) now being rather acceptable in quality.
If you're an ordinary user samsung/ other phones has tweeked the camera saturation/ exposures. So you'll have a better auto camera. "No" a camera phone is not a raw image. Its edited on the time you shoot. An ordinary user would love it cause it has filters already. Yes s9 would be a better deal budget wose for an ordinary person, but for someone who wants to venture into photography go for the Sony.
Image quality on the actual camera is just leagues ahead of S9. Not really a surprise, but here we are. Image out of S9 isnt terrible, it just looks really bad next to Sony.
I think they both look good for what they are able to do. I will say that in this video I didn't realize that the S9 and Macs don't play well together so they get this crazy red tint on everything. I have a video about the S9 vs the A7iii where I fixed the saturation issue and the footage looks WAY better.
:: 3:16 I almost gave up waiting for the Mark VI today and bought the Mark V for my wife's vacation next week, but held out. I totally forgot it has a 4K recording time limit. LAME! Glad I didn't cave.
Great review! It looks like the saturation on the s9 is really high on the side by side comparison ? Your hat is orange on the left and red on the right?
Yeah it's more saturated but its also in auto, in pro mode you can control alot more of the look but for this video I wanted it to be easy to replicate 😁👍
@@TheEverydayDad Ehh, it's adequate. But there's a huge issue with the phone cameras getting slower over time as the phone gets slower (samsung through Note 5 anyway, Huawei some versions) so you'll click the "take a picture" button and it just ... doesn't for long enough that you miss the shot, or blur it as your hand gets tired. If I'm trying to get a document to my insurance company or ask someone via text "is this the thing you meant" then no one cares. But if someone in my family wants a picture of our dog, or on a trip, or something amazing outside - well the phone cameras we've tried so far suck in comparison to any point and shoot. Once you step up to a DSLR and get good lenses it's night and day *if you're planning to take a picture*. And now that I've started learning RawTherapee with raw files, it's even better.
No I had it off but there’s an issue with the s9 and macs for video, it adds a weird color profile to it. I have a video comparing the s9 to the a7iii with correct profile footage that looks waaaaay better.
If you're editing on a mac the videos and pictures from the galaxy s9 come out red. There's a TH-cam video that shows why and I don't remember the name off the top of my head.
I think a lot of companies out there are using the words "4k" and " best vlogging camera" as bait and the average "i dunno anything about videography but i wanna be a vlogger" consumer out there almost immediately takes the bait. I think everyone should do a little bit of research when buying these expensive products. And thanks to people like Everyday Dad, some of us don't have to waste time and money because you do an amazing job reviewing these new cameras or action cameras.
It took me a while to guess which one is which on your twitter feed, it’s really amazing that Samsung has this kind of quality. Supposedly they are making their own image sensor now, their mirrorless was actually well received but the photography community, hope they will provide some compilation for the market. Great video, one strange thing is I can’t find your video in my subsection feed, I did receive the notification and email tho.
Yeah I have a real hard time telling when I use pro mode. Auto is a little easier since the Samsung oversaturates in auto. But the s9 is so good I'm really shocked.
So basically the S9 is an overly saturated RX100V. Did you check the color profile? I understood from what I've read online that the S9's photos looks less saturated and more natural on the screen itself. Besides can't you reduce the saturation? I think if you do so it will be amazing! That is what I like about my Nexus 6P's camera, the colors are very natural.
Yeah after making this video I discovered the problem with using macs and the color profiles for the s9. I have a video comparing the s9 to the a7iii where I was able to correct the profile problem and it looks way better 👍
Really impressed I have the S8+ but I still can't get over the fact Apps cater to Iphone cause the IOS is easier to format than the multiple android softwares :(. Not gonna lie I'm still getting the upgrade haha. I will use my old iphone for snapchat videos lol
should I trade my iPhone 8 plus for s9 ? because Im a Windows user and Transfer 4K60 Video from iPhone to PC is a Nightmare - taking so Long (iPhone converts file for compatibility) and gives a lot Errors , sometimes I lost some Video Clips :/
Pilotpiggy I switched last year from iPhone to s8 plus and now have the s9 plus, I have no regrets. I do miss iMessage though, but for right now I a happy with Samsung.
Mick Harrison I have seen and personally experienced that the s9 plus has solid battery life. It's nothing amazing but definitely above average, there are plenty of videos comparing battery life between all the major flagships, and S9 plus either wins or holds it's own in the tests.
I use the Panasonic LX10 which is very similar to the Sony RX100 but at about half the price-$550. Panasonic's contrast (DFD) system has gotten so fast that for stills it is essentially the same as the ones you tested. I am a retired professional photographer and need the RAW files I can get with a real camera to really be able to have to most versatility. I think for the average person now days, the S9 would be the better choice. For me the LX10 gives me such high quality video, I can use it as a third camera angle with my GH5 and G85. I like that you can charge the battery in-camera with USB. It has a 15 minute video recording limit at 4K. I really think the LX10 is a fantastic value for the money. There is so much more the RX100 and LX10 can do that the S9 cannot do though IF you are a real photographer. But that is was not the point of your video, so I do think you did a great job comparing the two from the standpoint of today's average shooter. Being an old guy, I remember the days when the average shooter used real cameras and I confess I'm a little sad to see the lack of thought with today's cell phone photographers. Seems like over 90% of all shots are portrait orientation, including video which really drives me crazy! Most of the time the portrait snapshots have half the picture showing sky or dirt/floor...
For average (amateur) users , s9 is enough ,but because they will not transfer their photos on pc and reviewing them on big screen. Also average consumer doesn't print photos anymore. 1. For viewing photos on phone screen only, Samsung s4 is more than enough. 2. S9 photos is oversaturated, it looks artificially. 3. Where is low light (or high iso)comparison ? 4. Where is flash light photos comparison? 5. Where is zoom comparison ( oh no, s9 doesn't have zoom )? 6. Why need for 4k recording on a phone , when average consumer don't know or want to edit videos for big screen( because watching 4k video on a phone is ridiculous) 7. They will stream 4k wirelessly from phone to tv ? Good luck with that. I am not going to mention benefits of raw shooting , manual adjusting , 4k editing here, because ,you're right - Sony rx 100 is NOT for average user. THEREFORE , my point is; Samsung s9 and Sony rx100v are NOT comparable. You better try to compare point and shot 200-300$ camera to any phone. That would be more meaningfull.
More *shallow* depth of field. The first photo of the pine needle looking things showed that the Sony is a camera for capturing images; video is an afterthought, just like Nikon and Canon. But it's damn amazing that phones have become this good at both.
You forgot one more MAJOR leg up that the S9 has over the Sony and that is the IP68 rating! Still being able to take pics and video in the rain or even to the waterpark is a HUGE advantage!
Hey great video: Thanks for doing the following 1. No time wasting intro 2. Great real world comparisons 3. Being fun to listen to. 4. Addressing a question: phone or camera Great video. Thanks
At 2:48 s9 Already Color GRaded the video In Cenamatic Colors Like Hollywood movies its Orange And Teal. And rx100v video is Looks Like Flat And I think Natural Colors.
Really good review i myself found the Galaxy S9 is the one to get, I picked it over the Sony RX100V in most of the category's I like the way you did this review. Thanks Again
Amazing Everyday Dad!!!! No doubt I would get the Samsung S9!!! And, as you correctly pointed out, the best camera is the one you have always with you!!! Thanks for the video! Cheers from Argentina!
The camera you always have with you is only for joke photos. Remember when people actually took their cameras to take photos/moments they actually want to remember.
I'm using an S9+ for almost 3 days now and I really like the camera. I'm surprised how fast the autofocus works in comparison to that Sony camera and it's interesting how much better it handles changing lighting conditions while recording a video.
I'm surprised why no one pointed out that Samsung also has 5 Minute 4k video recording limit. And the guy in the video mentioned he didn't face any heating issue even when he took the 4k recording for straight out 15 minutes. Apart from that, the video is great. And you have a nice smile. And it seemed it like you really are enjoying making the video. Keep up the good work mate ! 😊
my S9 overheated yesterday i was shooting a 21st party. like it will clearly tell me that its overheating so i should wait till the device cools down. i was at 17 minutes of shooting time, but the weather condition also was extremely hot. am in piet retief south africa
I won't be recording at 4k though, but the galaxy s9 has a great camera and it's still a normal phone that you can play games on, browse TH-cam, Twitter, Instagram soo I guess the s9 is better, but you can't compare a phone to a camera except the camera quality
The Galaxy S9+ microphone is without comparison. I once recorded 3 hours of a music show in which friends of mine were playing. 3 hours on a tripod (the galaxy records non-stop as long as it has battery, which can record for 4 hours more or less), sound very loud, at night, and I though it would end up shitty. I was very impressed, the video was quite nice, and the audio was amazing, as good as it gets from an external record. I already tried Zoom H1, Tascam DR-05... They record, then we edit the sound a lot and it maybe is usable. The audio from the band was so clean in the Galaxy that it became my b-roll camera and my audio recorder, because I like to record rock bands performing in my city. I'm completely in love with this phone.
Just bought rx100 m4 about US 620 already considered all the points mentioned . My reason for the rx100 m4 is 1. For travelling use and lots of video 2. Though rx eats batteries But simply resolved by taking 4 batteries 3. Rx has 3x zoom n say 6x to keep good quality but s9 1x and s9 plus say 2x 3. S9 battery couldn't change n could not support numerous videos . Run out fast n need long time charging to re perform. I brought a wx500 n 2 s6 travelling 7 days ago. Wx500 broken n thr two s6 done their duty with flying colors. But lost a lot of beautiful scenery need 2x 3x zooming. Here in Hk s9 is us 800 and s9 plus 100 more. S9 iso performance is not sufficiently tested here but i belive could not beat rx over iso 3200. The following people may suitable purchase s9 instead of rx 1. Not video fever . .( say 100 clips a day ) 2. No zooming requiement ( though 2x digital zoom perform well in 4k, seems 2 streets away in quality. ) 3. super lightweight travel fever guys. I brought two s6 mainly for timelapse and fix to stabilizer Feiyu for walking video. The compact camera for general recordings as i have no worries about power supply. I think s10 in future should have 4xzoom. And the rx100 series may obsolete.
i was amazed how well my s9 camera works...i can only imagine the s9+/Note 8/Note 9 with the dual cameras. only thing the camera beat the phone on is the audio. you can literally see stuff with the s9 camera in low light, that you cant see with the naked eye. i love this phone.
I personally have a Nikon D7500 and a Galaxy S8. I considered this kind of expensive point and shoot cameras but the sensor size is too small to feel a big difference with smartphones so for me it's not worth it. Everything below APS-C is not worth it. On the other hand with cameras such as my D7500 or your Sony a6300, the difference is big enough (bokeh, low light quality, zoom, etc.) to justify buying and transporting it in addition to your phone.
No phone camera will ever be as good as a dedicated camera for obvious reasons ( larger sensor, better image processing etc ) but the fact the phone cameras are getting better and better with each generation, it sure eliminates the necessity of carrying around a dedicated camera for day-to-day events/activities.
I consider myself to be a semi professional photographer. I have a OnePlus5. The camera takes 20 frames a second continuous, it has 20 Megapixels, 2 f1.7 lenses and the best image stabilisation for video I have ever used. It won't replace My Canon cameras but I really wish the cameras had some of the phones features and ease of use. I do mix in some clips taken with the phone into some of videos I make and no one would know what they were made on!
Great video, but I see a serious flaw here: try to compare those two in low light conditions out of this studio. Try shooting and video recording in street at night or maybe in a concert. That's where you'll always see the BIG difference between a dedicated camera and a cell phone.
For a regular user who wants to shoot some nice pictures here and there the Samsung Camera is sure enough. I went the other way, i wanted to go more semi-professional on photos and i bought myself the sony RX Mark III, wich is way cheaper than the mark V (i know it does not film in 4k, but i dont need and want that - not doing much video, but many photos). Then i realized i will never need an expensive smartphone anymore. Now i can buy a 200 bucks Smartphone wich does all i need. And the camerawork is handled in a more professional way by the Sony RX 100 III. If you spent some time learning photography and learn to handle all options of a full camera, you create pictures you never could with the samsung Smartphone. And it is still small and compact compared to the Alpha 6000 or above. But like i said, it (the samsung) will suit most common users and is sure good for vlogging and does nice standard point and shoot pictures . So.... yes, why not.
What about the fixed angular focal length? You are very limited for b roll and any kind of picture that isn’t a landscape, family, food photo or very very close portrait with the S9.
I think that the V30 is what you should be comparing against. If shooting in Auto is all you're about, then by all means, but the V30 packs a serious punch once you start dialing some settings into its camera's manual mode, which is more or less what you'd do with a dedicated point and shoot/dlsr camera anyway.
Look @the difference in image-quality on 2:20...the Sony is way clearer and has a much better depth..S9 image looks like a painting...video the same...also much difference in quality.
I'm not one to a get a phone (especially a flagship) when they come out. In fact the S9 is the first one I've ever bought. It's that good! Like a solid 9.5 out of 10. My V20 is gone. I've got my Moto G5s Plus as my backup (I have 2 voice lines) but this Samsung is so impressive. Great video and thanks for it! Take care, Bill PS: looks like me getting a ginball before our trip is not going to happen... 😔 Can't find a osmo 2 that will for a fact arrive before we leave mid next month.
Hey Everyday Dad.... I was wondering if you could talk a bit about the specs in OnePlus 6 when it comes to filming and photo quality. oh... and one more question... If you had to have a photo printed, would you choose to shoot it with your main smartphone or would you pick a regular camera like this Sony RX?
Actually, the main point in comparing these two: 1.) If you want to print, preserve image quality, keep all details for editing like Photoshop. --- get RX100 2.) If you only need the image for FB or instagram. --- get S9 or any other phone out there. I hope the upcoming photo enthusiasts will not pick the phone, you will regret it later. I own D7200, iphoneX, S7edge and I have images from friend's mate 20pro, S9 and RX100 to compare. Also phone's pictures seem good on a small screen, due to the AI enhancements. Just try to view your FB photos in a 24" monitor, you can see the difference.
I don't know if you had the s9 set to a lower resolution picture quality for all of the sample photos but I could see that at one point at least you had the s9 either on the 16:9 or 18:5:9 crop setting, both of which are lower resolution.
Does the Panasonic GX1 with a 20mm f1.7 pancake lens (h020e) perform better or worse than this s9 phone in the night? Thank you SO much. And if the s9 is better. Which camera for like 400 dollar is better than the s9 in the night??
I'm a big Samsung Galaxy fanatic. I am about to pull the trigger on an S9. That said... viewing this on a 50" 4k screen, I can see the quality is better on the RX100V. There is simply more dynamic range. However, most people probably watch TH-cam on a phone screen, so I doubt it matters? The camera that's always with me is usually the winner anyway, which is a Samsung Galaxy of course.
Phones' cameras are amazing for casual photos, but as soon as you want to play with zoom or depth of field you feel the limitations. I shoot a lot with my iPhone SE but if I'm going on a trip I take with me my RX100. For us (casual photographers) the RX100 is even better than a full-fledged DSLR because it gives us (kind of) the same capabilities but in a smaller and portable package. It's the best in its niche, thus its price.
The reason the rx100 did not do as well in the exposure auto correction is because the photosites are larger and at 30fps the rx100 is gathering more light therefore it can't come down from its lowest native gain.
Good video if you are interested on impressions of the video capabilities of both platforms, but it does not focus on the picture quality comparison nearly enough for photos. There is one comparison jpeg comparison and the rest is a comparison on how it takes videos.
Update since I didn't explain clearly enough in the video. When I say recording limit I mean that eventually the heat from the RX won't let you record anymore. Both do have recording limits on each clip.
I got from S9+ heat limit record, but only one time. To be clear i had a case on it, maybe that was the problem for the overheating.
The Everyday Dad 5 minute recording limit on the S9 on 4K
When shooting at night (clubs, restaurants, bars, concerts, etc..) the RX100 is 100 times better than my S9. Clearly you never go out.
The Everyday Dad pls make a video of comparison of Canon g7 Mark ii and S9
S9 better wait untel s10 cames out
Jesus the color saturation in the video samples from the S9 are ridiculous
I would pick Sony for the color alone, that horrible galaxy saturation is very off putting.
This test seems too much focused on ease of use which is a win for smartphone of course.
The fact Sony has so much bigger sensor is an auto win for me. It might be more fair test if you compared it with some classic point and shot.
I could fix the saturation easy with KineMaster. Not a big deal
You can fix the saturation with the camera settings on the phone even... I do think it's ok. Yes the sensor size is bigger but then why not get an APS-C such as a Sony a6400 which is about the same price or even a D3500 if you're limited by the price. The RX100 is way too expensive for such a small sensor. it's almost the same price as my D7500 plus my Tamron 18-400.
That auto-focus on the S9. Wow. I've been vlogging with my Google Pixel, but it might be time for a switch.
Yeah the autofocus is crazy fast. I used to think my cameras had fast autofocus but the s9 focuses almost before you can see the subject 😂
Awkward Bob or just get a Pixel 2 which does the same because it uses dual pixels. Check supersaf.
Or a P20 Pro which shoots better in low-light than all of them :P
Eric Carmichael and a garbage 4K? Pixel still has best overall.
Based on what? The only difference is the IS in 4K and the P20 Pro has a better front and rear camera than the Pixel, especially in low-light, it's also faster, has a much better battery and more memory. I'm not sure how you can say that the Pixel is better here unless you have buyers remorse. The Pixel shoots better out of the box but the P20 Pro is an actual tool that photographers can use, it's images survive post-processing with no noise.
The colors on the S9 look off and too oversaturated because you probably have HDR on and you're processing the video on a Mac. It shouldn't look like this, there's a video on youtube that explains this, I'll link it here for you in a reply when I find it.
Great video!
Got it. here
th-cam.com/video/DW3k95C3098/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely I'll check that out, it definitely looked too saturated but it wasn't as bad as it could have been 👍
I enjoyed the colors on the s9
I was about to comment at how saturated and red everything looked, but then I saw this comment and followed the link. I love people that dig deeper. Thanks mate.
You wanted comments so I try my best to deliver. I think the whole video is a joke if you truly think "Everything about the Galaxy S9 is better in my mind than the RX 100 mark 5". Are you blind? The video is way worse in S9 and even more in the dark. The lack of details in S9 compared to RX100V is notable. Autofocus.. I'm betting you used the default autofocus speed with RX 100 V. There is faster option also.. maybe you should try that. And the JPG test. For real? You compare well focused image of RX100V with totally out of focus shot taken with S9.. and you say that "Both are really great.".. wow. "Samsung is a little more saturated"? Are you aware of the RX100V creative styles and profiles? I bet you have no clue. There is the 5 minute limit in RX100V. I'm just wondering why that is a problem. What do you really wan't to shoot for 10-15 minutes? If you are looking for a device for recording long videos neither of these are the right device for you. In that case you should buy a videocamera. I even disagree with your comment about the easy navigation in RX100V. You say that you think that RX100V is quite easy to navigate. I disagree again. Ofcourse you can learn the system but it just isnt well organized. And next you compare point and shoot to a DSLR. Really? What is the point in there? Yes I understand that the Sony A6300 is cheaper but it isn't point and shoot. Try to find another point and shoot with same features that RX100V has and then tell me the price. You know it's a lot harder to put all the features in smaller camera body. And obviously you need the lens for A6300 which you didn't bother to mention ($$$). Would love to see how you put your A6300 with the lens in to your pocket. The next joke is that you try to say that S9 can mimic sensor size with computing power. I bet you have no clue what sensor size even means or how it affects the quality. No camera phone will ever be able to create the same quality with as small camera inside as they have. For the same reason DSLR cameras produce more quality over RX100V. I'm not a salty Sony fan boy. I just can't stand spreading so much false information to other people. I'm just wondering if the quality is so good in S9 why do you use A6300 to record your video footage? I can answer for you.. you use the A6300 because it has bigger sensor and for that reason better quality... see what I did there? So you are telling me you are "regular person" and for that reason you don't want bigger sensor or manual controls though you are filming with A6300 just for those reasons. Amazing. I needed point and shoot camera that is very light and that I can have in my pocket all times. For that reason I have watch so many videos about RX100V that I can't even remember. This video about RX100V is by far the least informative and failed in so many ways it's just surreal for me.
Chiiilllll
Brayden Newton his points are valid. Thank you for your useless one-worded comment that doesn’t argue any of said points.
well said
Well said
Very well said
One short question...why u choose S9 over S9 plus
I wanted a smaller phone. I got sick of having the iphone 7 plus huge phone.
The Everyday Dad the plus has better zoom functionality due to its secondary camera unfortunately absent on the s9 plus,more ram and better battery life
Yea Daz Z u r right morevoer....the live focus and pro mode on S9+ are awesome
Given that u wanted a good camera on your phone, Galaxy s9 plus would have suited well, because its 5mm less wider than the iphone 7 plus.
Malhotras The Indians better camera functions
RX100 V definitely......
Thanks for the comment!
For every day use and for 99% of people its S9, cuz you dont need to carry two devices around
Apres Midi you don’t speak for most people just you
I use both of my s9+ and Sony a6500 for my videos. I prefer to use a6500 as much as I can because it gives deeper depth to the videos. S9+ is super convenient, lightweight, and simple to use. However, I can't really get the cinematic feeling to it with my s9+. Both of them are great, but the phone can't beat the richness from the camera. So I mainly use a6500 for all my crafting videos and s9+ for the quick vlog.
I totally agree, I’ve been using the a7iii and the s9 and while the a7iii is amazing I do still really like filming on the s9 since it’s so easy and looks really good 😁👍
SAK- SOON 6500 is 3rd in the semi pro line it will kick the s9s ass but you have to turn off the 30 minute video limit for tax purposes via a hack
The S9 can only record in 4K 30fps for 10min and in 4K 60fps for 5min, so I don't know how you recorded for 15 to 20min unless you hit stop and pressed record again.
RX100 is for professionals, smartphones is great but very limited and will never beat a pro camera. normal people would get the Samsung S9
S9 so saturated, wow.... (don't know how people find that beautiful) and I'm assuming it only shoots JPG, no raw, which makes things worse. Depth of Field on the RX100V is also better. The only thing shown here that really amazed me was how fast S9's autofocus really is. Other than that, the RX100V produces way better pictures. Every single footage taken from the S9 in this video seems oversaturated, as if a teenager crazy for filters using Instagram applied one on every single photo. I think i'll wait on the Pixel 3 before switching. I don't know if this was a video to promote the S9, but it had the opposite effect on me, hahaha. But great video, nonetheless.
I found out after publishing this video the s9 and macs don’t play nice. There’s a weird picture profile thing that adds a serious red tint to everything.
I’ve got a video comparing the a7iii to the s9 where I was able to correct the files and while still a little saturated it’s way better.
The galaxy has a pro menu in which you can adjust colors, contrast and stuff so you can get as much dynamic range as possible. Yes its auto mode is not jaw dropping but its manual mode is ridiculously good if one kniws how to use it. But the rx 100v eats any of todays phones IMO
Tony Pugliese of you don't like the saturated look it is very easy to tone it out down with a swipe and tap, you have a lot of options with these .
I know that the S9 has a great camera and that virtually every photo can be edited in pre (by menus adjustments) or post (by software), but then again, in this video, we are talking about photos taken straight from auto, right?
yeah, but even straight out from auto mode, pictures on s9/s9 plus arent this saturated, i can confirm becoz i am using a s9 plus atm. And like mentioned above, the only reason the photos look so saturated here is becoz it was processed on a mac, and there is some issue when u process samsung photos on a mac becoz of the color profile, hence why this video doesnt exactly show how s9 performs in real life, its actually much better, but yeah, the pictures are a bit saturated, not as much as in the video, but yeaaa
NOTE; Purely for taking photos, I use the Canon SX530 camera.
It has one huge advantage, it has a 50x optical zoom lens.
You can be a long way away from your subject, and still get a closeup shot.
FYI; I bought mine during a Black Friday sale for $250.
The camera itself is just average, but having that sorta zoom ability is super awesome. That's why I take it with me everywhere I go.
Yeah optical zoom is big and something I should have mentioned.
Companies like Canon are making "super zoom" cameras cause they know that simple "point and shoot" cameras are being overrun by cell phones.
I can confirm that having a small camera with a 50x zoom is a huge advantage over any cell phone camera.
I've seen some cameras with 65x zooms.
By the way, the 50x zoom also works in video mode.
I think if you're doing any kind of casual nature shooting you want something with an optical zoom such as the Sony. You need that reach to pull subjects in. Cellphones have digital zoom but there is the image quality lose.
Other than that I too find myself using my cellphone (currently a Samsung S7) more and more. Even though I have many other cameras to choose from.
S9 very impressive for a phone, wins in a couple things (4k time, auto focus, maybe even speed of exposure correction). But for me, the RX100 HANDILY beat the S9 every single time, and it should. But considering the cost, and just how good a phone like the S9 or Pixel 2 is, I can totally understand the argument to get rid of the RX100 and just use your phone if you don't need the absolute best quality. Also one thing I wish that was compared and important for vloggers is the effectiveness of the built in image stabilization, since not all of us want to spend hundreds more after buying a expensive device to begin with!
As for the Mark V, it is in my opinion a bit overpriced. You can get the Mark 4 which is almost as good for a couple hundred less, and if still shot image quality is the only thing that matters to you, you can even knock it down to the Mark 3, the Mark 2, or even the Mark 1 has FANTASTIC image quality at a MUCH more competitive price. The Mark 1 is phenomenal value and for under $400 I'd choose it over the S9 if all you seek is a great camera and you don't need the flip out screen or 4k recording.
I personally find the Mark 4 the most interesting bang for the buck in the RX100 series.
i got second hand rx100 iii and love it.
right after shooting with it in pattaya i make big bucks on youtube....
if s9 is impressive for a phone, u haven't seen iphone. s9 might be good in android's poor camera range that is actually hyped up by iphone haters, but i am shocked how propaganda and biased reviews made me buy samsung s9 + to only use it in real life and seeing how bad it is even in comparison to my old iphone 6 plus!
RX100V looks much much better. If you cant see it, you need to educate yourself
With the camera you can zoom in much farther (especially in the new RX100 M6), that's one thing (on its own the reason to prefer a camera). You can be more creative with the camera- like shutter speed effects, exposure, etc, apart from bokeh (which the phone produces artificially and with questionable quality). You can edit RAW pictures as well.
the difference is actually huge... S9 camera is bad.. just bad.. those ugly colors and shadows.. No dynamic range, no color accuracy. Incomparable.
Yeah, I wonder how people can't see it!
It's not the s9 fault, when he tranfered the videos to his mac, his mac and samsung don't mix well, the mac saturated stuff so much, especially the red, normal s9 saturates a little
Possibly. Well I don't have Mac to compare. I don't have s9. Only S6,7,recently 8. But when I compare S8 with Canon g7x the difference is soo massive. And g7x mark2 is even much better in many regards, but Sony RX100 mark2 is a little better with the pictures. Sony RX100 mark 6 is so many generations advanced, so I presume is much better than Mark 2 that I use to work with. So how can they possibly compare. I bet that the pictures of Samsung S9 don't compare even with Sony RX100 mark 1. There are only 2 ways people can see otherwise. 1. if they are half blind or if they are looking on amazing big phone screen and smaller screen on Sony RX100 m6 and say. - O, this are so similar. Please open on big screen like PC monitor.
Yes, the difference is huge... from the first picture to the last video and even the sound comparison...
Watch the video first. He said that if you are a professional you should probably get the Sony, but 99% of people S9 is better cuz you dont need two video devices to carry around. Stop whining and watch the video.
I own the Samsung S9+ and the Sony RX100v and the Sony wins hands down on image quality.......
Have you ever considered the Pixel 2 XL?
Great video today!
:: 7:40 when are they going to put the most basic cheap LCD on the back of phones to make the good back-facing camera work like a selfie, where you can see what you are framing?! It can't cost more than $3 to put a tiny LCD on the back, can it? Sheesh. Or a mirror.
That's seriously an awesome idea! Even a cheap liquid text display to let you frame the shot would work.
Probably a thickness issue. Same reason we don't have larger batteries; phone makers are stubborn and insist that consumers want thin, thin, sexy phones instead of a small increase in thickness for great things like bigger batteries, or second LCD screens. *sigh*
the zoom and dynamic range (especially with raw files) is the big difference with the rx100 V (and zoom on the mk VI). if you are NOT taking advantage of professional features than the s9 or pixel 2 will take just as good if better photos and videos for most people
you can't zoom with S9 , this make a better point for rx 100 vi
Please what lights do you use?
The results shocked me. I guess technology has come to a point where cam phones can be more than adequate for most people.
Absolutely! While sensors are moving ahead I think the real progress is in all the processing power behind the camera 👍
The Everyday Dad Dedicated camera makers need to step up their in-camera processing and image transfer/sharing features. Otherwise, most people will just stop caring about their products. Samsung made excellent mirrorless cameras, but had quit this market because it knew what will happen.
Most interchangeable lens camera producers have NFC, WiFi and Bluetooth in their cameras for quick image sharing with phones, tablets and computers nowadays. They've modernised quite a lot.
..cell phone cams have put wedding photographers out of biz..most people just have their friends/family take a bunch of shots..
They really haven't. Hired photographers are still commonplace at larger events such as weddings.
What's changed is that people who couldn't afford to hire photographers in the past can now get record the memories of their weddings thanks to the lowest-end cameras (i.e. smartphone cameras) now being rather acceptable in quality.
If you're an ordinary user samsung/ other phones has tweeked the camera saturation/ exposures. So you'll have a better auto camera. "No" a camera phone is not a raw image. Its edited on the time you shoot.
An ordinary user would love it cause it has filters already.
Yes s9 would be a better deal budget wose for an ordinary person, but for someone who wants to venture into photography go for the Sony.
I absolutely agree!
Pro mode gives good raw photos
Image quality on the actual camera is just leagues ahead of S9. Not really a surprise, but here we are. Image out of S9 isnt terrible, it just looks really bad next to Sony.
I think they both look good for what they are able to do. I will say that in this video I didn't realize that the S9 and Macs don't play well together so they get this crazy red tint on everything. I have a video about the S9 vs the A7iii where I fixed the saturation issue and the footage looks WAY better.
:: 3:16 I almost gave up waiting for the Mark VI today and bought the Mark V for my wife's vacation next week, but held out. I totally forgot it has a 4K recording time limit. LAME! Glad I didn't cave.
Yeah that's the biggest weakness of the rx line.
Every thing I’ve commented on lately has become the highlighted comment so I’ve got nothing to say today but great work again mate
Ha! Well thanks so much!
Great review! It looks like the saturation on the s9 is really high on the side by side comparison ? Your hat is orange on the left and red on the right?
Yeah it's more saturated but its also in auto, in pro mode you can control alot more of the look but for this video I wanted it to be easy to replicate 😁👍
Cool thanks for the info and great review.
:: 3:02 If I got all 3 right, I guess that means I now have to fork out the money for a point and shoot : ( I wish I couldn't tell the difference!
I'd get something more economical and useful like the a6xxx line 👍
Sony is still by far the better camera. That being said, I think for most people the S9 is more than adequate.
That’s exactly what I was trying to get across! Thanks so much for the comment! 😁👍
@@TheEverydayDad Ehh, it's adequate. But there's a huge issue with the phone cameras getting slower over time as the phone gets slower (samsung through Note 5 anyway, Huawei some versions) so you'll click the "take a picture" button and it just ... doesn't for long enough that you miss the shot, or blur it as your hand gets tired. If I'm trying to get a document to my insurance company or ask someone via text "is this the thing you meant" then no one cares. But if someone in my family wants a picture of our dog, or on a trip, or something amazing outside - well the phone cameras we've tried so far suck in comparison to any point and shoot. Once you step up to a DSLR and get good lenses it's night and day *if you're planning to take a picture*.
And now that I've started learning RawTherapee with raw files, it's even better.
Did you have HDR video on Samsung? It looks way more saturated than my note8
No I had it off but there’s an issue with the s9 and macs for video, it adds a weird color profile to it. I have a video comparing the s9 to the a7iii with correct profile footage that looks waaaaay better.
If you're editing on a mac the videos and pictures from the galaxy s9 come out red. There's a TH-cam video that shows why and I don't remember the name off the top of my head.
Yeah someone showed me that afterwards, it also doesn't show up as bad if you use the pro features but I wanted this to be full auto.
All we use to film with are smartphones and the results are amazing!!!! Great video!!!!!!!!
I totally agree! Thanks so much!
I think a lot of companies out there are using the words "4k" and " best vlogging camera" as bait and the average "i dunno anything about videography but i wanna be a vlogger" consumer out there almost immediately takes the bait. I think everyone should do a little bit of research when buying these expensive products. And thanks to people like Everyday Dad, some of us don't have to waste time and money because you do an amazing job reviewing these new cameras or action cameras.
Well thanks so much! 😁👍
It took me a while to guess which one is which on your twitter feed, it’s really amazing that Samsung has this kind of quality. Supposedly they are making their own image sensor now, their mirrorless was actually well received but the photography community, hope they will provide some compilation for the market. Great video, one strange thing is I can’t find your video in my subsection feed, I did receive the notification and email tho.
Yeah I have a real hard time telling when I use pro mode. Auto is a little easier since the Samsung oversaturates in auto. But the s9 is so good I'm really shocked.
Where do you sell your gear? Craigslist? Ebay?
I sell my stuff on Ebay all the time 👍
Really appreciate the comparison. That autofocus for the S9 like other's are saying... crazy fast. Worth considering just for that!
Thanks so much! The autofocus speed on the S9 is super fast, part of the benefit of the stronger processors inside of cell phones.
So basically the S9 is an overly saturated RX100V.
Did you check the color profile? I understood from what I've read online that the S9's photos looks less saturated and more natural on the screen itself.
Besides can't you reduce the saturation? I think if you do so it will be amazing!
That is what I like about my Nexus 6P's camera, the colors are very natural.
Yeah after making this video I discovered the problem with using macs and the color profiles for the s9. I have a video comparing the s9 to the a7iii where I was able to correct the profile problem and it looks way better 👍
Really impressed I have the S8+ but I still can't get over the fact Apps cater to Iphone cause the IOS is easier to format than the multiple android softwares :(. Not gonna lie I'm still getting the upgrade haha. I will use my old iphone for snapchat videos lol
Yeah apps are different for the different platforms I wish there was more uniformity 😁👍
should I trade my iPhone 8 plus for s9 ? because Im a Windows user and Transfer 4K60 Video from iPhone to PC is a Nightmare - taking so Long (iPhone converts file for compatibility) and gives a lot Errors , sometimes I lost some Video Clips :/
The s9 is amazing and I am thinking of switching from apple over to it
I definitely did 😁👍
I want to switch as well but I don’t because cannot find an Android app as good as IOS LumaFusion for video editing on the go. .... :-((
Pilotpiggy I switched last year from iPhone to s8 plus and now have the s9 plus, I have no regrets. I do miss iMessage though, but for right now I a happy with Samsung.
Mick Harrison I have seen and personally experienced that the s9 plus has solid battery life. It's nothing amazing but definitely above average, there are plenty of videos comparing battery life between all the major flagships, and S9 plus either wins or holds it's own in the tests.
Ruggero Todesco ... kinemaster by Samsung is a great video editor app. Also, the battery life on the S9 is amazing.
I use the Panasonic LX10 which is very similar to the Sony RX100 but at about half the price-$550. Panasonic's contrast (DFD) system has gotten so fast that for stills it is essentially the same as the ones you tested. I am a retired professional photographer and need the RAW files I can get with a real camera to really be able to have to most versatility. I think for the average person now days, the S9 would be the better choice. For me the LX10 gives me such high quality video, I can use it as a third camera angle with my GH5 and G85. I like that you can charge the battery in-camera with USB. It has a 15 minute video recording limit at 4K. I really think the LX10 is a fantastic value for the money. There is so much more the RX100 and LX10 can do that the S9 cannot do though IF you are a real photographer. But that is was not the point of your video, so I do think you did a great job comparing the two from the standpoint of today's average shooter. Being an old guy, I remember the days when the average shooter used real cameras and I confess I'm a little sad to see the lack of thought with today's cell phone photographers. Seems like over 90% of all shots are portrait orientation, including video which really drives me crazy! Most of the time the portrait snapshots have half the picture showing sky or dirt/floor...
Nicely done!
Thanks so much!
Wow, that was fun seeing this video come together. the results were closer than I thought it would be.
Yeah I agree, the phone is a little more saturated but pretty good in low light 😁
OOOOOO what about the Samsung vs the Panasonic lx10
Dang I don't have an lx10 anymore but that would be a great video
The RX100V generally has a better Auto mode than the LX10, though the LX10 has a brighter lens. I figure the S9 would still win due to ease.
Ivan Rivera yeah definitely for it’s ease the s9 is the best camera for the average person
Yeah the lx10 is a great camera but again I dont really see the purpose of having a point and shoot anymore.
For average (amateur) users , s9 is enough ,but because they will not transfer their photos on pc and reviewing them on big screen. Also average consumer doesn't print photos anymore.
1. For viewing photos on phone screen only, Samsung s4 is more than enough.
2. S9 photos is oversaturated, it looks artificially.
3. Where is low light (or high iso)comparison ?
4. Where is flash light photos comparison?
5. Where is zoom comparison ( oh no, s9 doesn't have zoom )?
6. Why need for 4k recording on a phone , when average consumer don't know or want to
edit videos for big screen( because watching 4k video on a phone is ridiculous)
7. They will stream 4k wirelessly from phone to tv ? Good luck with that.
I am not going to mention benefits of raw shooting , manual adjusting , 4k editing here, because ,you're right - Sony rx 100 is NOT for average user. THEREFORE , my point is; Samsung s9 and Sony rx100v are NOT comparable.
You better try to compare point and shot 200-300$ camera to any phone. That would be more meaningfull.
Rade Djokic THIS
English is not my maternal language ,sorry for mistakes. But you get the point.
You can shoot raw on the S9, you need to go into the settings, turn on the option, and then go into pro mode, and it will save a raw AND jpeg picture.
Amazing. The rx100 Has more depth of field though. Another awesome video from the everyday dad!
It does a lot of things better 😁 thanks so much for the comment!
your welcome. keep up the good work!
More *shallow* depth of field. The first photo of the pine needle looking things showed that the Sony is a camera for capturing images; video is an afterthought, just like Nikon and Canon. But it's damn amazing that phones have become this good at both.
You mean less depth of field
LESS depth of field ;)
You forgot one more MAJOR leg up that the S9 has over the Sony and that is the IP68 rating! Still being able to take pics and video in the rain or even to the waterpark is a HUGE advantage!
That's very true, the ip68 is such a great feature 👍
Basically s9 camera is good enough
I totally agree, we’ve reach a plateau of diminishing returns on certain cameras 👍
Hey great video: Thanks for doing the following 1. No time wasting intro 2. Great real world comparisons 3. Being fun to listen to. 4. Addressing a question: phone or camera Great video. Thanks
for photographythe sonny camera is better
At 2:48 s9 Already Color GRaded the video In Cenamatic Colors Like Hollywood movies its Orange And Teal.
And rx100v video is Looks Like Flat And I think Natural Colors.
Ur eyes is scaring me... why does is have a blue circle?
his lights in his studio
Ring lights do that weird eye ball thing 😂
Really good review i myself found the Galaxy S9 is the one to get, I picked it over the Sony RX100V in most of the category's I like the way you did this review. Thanks Again
Thanks so much Rick 😁👍
Amazing Everyday Dad!!!! No doubt I would get the Samsung S9!!! And, as you correctly pointed out, the best camera is the one you have always with you!!! Thanks for the video! Cheers from Argentina!
Thanks so much! 😁👍
Thank you! We, all your faithful subscribers must be really grateful! Cheers from Argentina!
The camera you always have with you is only for joke photos. Remember when people actually took their cameras to take photos/moments they actually want to remember.
I'd recommend not color correcting footage like on 1:20 so like we can see the original colors of S9
S9 is Awesome! 🔥🤩😍
I totally agree 😁👍
I'm using an S9+ for almost 3 days now and I really like the camera. I'm surprised how fast the autofocus works in comparison to that Sony camera and it's interesting how much better it handles changing lighting conditions while recording a video.
S9 ! I am so happy with it , now.
Yeah me too 😁👍
I'm surprised why no one pointed out that Samsung also has 5 Minute 4k video recording limit.
And the guy in the video mentioned he didn't face any heating issue even when he took the 4k recording for straight out 15 minutes.
Apart from that, the video is great.
And you have a nice smile.
And it seemed it like you really are enjoying making the video.
Keep up the good work mate !
😊
The Galaxy S9 has a wierd Red Tint in the Videos and Photos.
because of his aparture..
this is the teal and orange look that many find it better than natural
My s9+ dose not have it if i turn HDR off
But still not perfect
my S9 overheated yesterday i was shooting a 21st party. like it will clearly tell me that its overheating so i should wait till the device cools down. i was at 17 minutes of shooting time, but the weather condition also was extremely hot. am in piet retief south africa
Until the bugs creep in! Real cameras don’t tend to get buggy! 🐜
Don't put that evil on me 😂
I won't be recording at 4k though, but the galaxy s9 has a great camera and it's still a normal phone that you can play games on, browse TH-cam, Twitter, Instagram soo I guess the s9 is better, but you can't compare a phone to a camera except the camera quality
S9 all the way! Great video for us non-professionals.
Absolutely! 👍
The Galaxy S9+ microphone is without comparison. I once recorded 3 hours of a music show in which friends of mine were playing. 3 hours on a tripod (the galaxy records non-stop as long as it has battery, which can record for 4 hours more or less), sound very loud, at night, and I though it would end up shitty. I was very impressed, the video was quite nice, and the audio was amazing, as good as it gets from an external record. I already tried Zoom H1, Tascam DR-05... They record, then we edit the sound a lot and it maybe is usable. The audio from the band was so clean in the Galaxy that it became my b-roll camera and my audio recorder, because I like to record rock bands performing in my city. I'm completely in love with this phone.
That's cool bro your are awesome ☺️☺️☺️👍
Thanks so much! 😁👍
Thanks a lot, mate! Now looking what to chose for my videos, still thinking about rx100 and S9 but now more understanding what I need. Thank you!

First reply! 😁👍
Just bought rx100 m4 about US 620
already considered all the points mentioned .
My reason for the rx100 m4 is
1. For travelling use and lots of video
2. Though rx eats batteries But simply resolved by taking 4 batteries
3. Rx has 3x zoom n say 6x to keep good quality but s9 1x and s9 plus say 2x
3. S9 battery couldn't change n could not support numerous videos . Run out fast n need long time charging to re perform.
I brought a wx500 n 2 s6 travelling 7 days ago. Wx500 broken n thr two s6 done their duty with flying colors. But lost a lot of beautiful scenery need 2x 3x zooming.
Here in Hk s9 is us 800 and s9 plus 100 more.
S9 iso performance is not sufficiently tested here but i belive could not beat rx over iso 3200.
The following people may suitable purchase s9 instead of rx
1. Not video fever . .( say 100 clips a day )
2. No zooming requiement ( though 2x digital zoom perform well in 4k, seems 2 streets away in quality. )
3. super lightweight travel fever guys.
I brought two s6 mainly for timelapse and fix to stabilizer Feiyu for walking video.
The compact camera for general recordings as i have no worries about power supply.
I think s10 in future should have 4xzoom. And the rx100 series may obsolete.
Hey dude, I have a galaxy s9+ and it has a 10min video recording limit in 4K mode.
i was amazed how well my s9 camera works...i can only imagine the s9+/Note 8/Note 9 with the dual cameras. only thing the camera beat the phone on is the audio. you can literally see stuff with the s9 camera in low light, that you cant see with the naked eye. i love this phone.
I personally have a Nikon D7500 and a Galaxy S8. I considered this kind of expensive point and shoot cameras but the sensor size is too small to feel a big difference with smartphones so for me it's not worth it. Everything below APS-C is not worth it. On the other hand with cameras such as my D7500 or your Sony a6300, the difference is big enough (bokeh, low light quality, zoom, etc.) to justify buying and transporting it in addition to your phone.
Can you do the comparison with the Google Pixel 2 ?
No phone camera will ever be as good as a dedicated camera for obvious reasons ( larger sensor, better image processing etc ) but the fact the phone cameras are getting better and better with each generation, it sure eliminates the necessity of carrying around a dedicated camera for day-to-day events/activities.
I consider myself to be a semi professional photographer. I have a OnePlus5. The camera takes 20 frames a second continuous, it has 20 Megapixels, 2 f1.7 lenses and the best image stabilisation for video I have ever used. It won't replace My Canon cameras but I really wish the cameras had some of the phones features and ease of use. I do mix in some clips taken with the phone into some of videos I make and no one would know what they were made on!
Great video, but I see a serious flaw here: try to compare those two in low light conditions out of this studio. Try shooting and video recording in street at night or maybe in a concert. That's where you'll always see the BIG difference between a dedicated camera and a cell phone.
For a regular user who wants to shoot some nice pictures here and there the Samsung Camera is sure enough. I went the other way, i wanted to go more semi-professional on photos and i bought myself the sony RX Mark III, wich is way cheaper than the mark V (i know it does not film in 4k, but i dont need and want that - not doing much video, but many photos).
Then i realized i will never need an expensive smartphone anymore. Now i can buy a 200 bucks Smartphone wich does all i need. And the camerawork is handled in a more professional way by the Sony RX 100 III. If you spent some time learning photography and learn to handle all options of a full camera, you create pictures you never could with the samsung Smartphone. And it is still small and compact compared to the Alpha 6000 or above.
But like i said, it (the samsung) will suit most common users and is sure good for vlogging and does nice standard point and shoot pictures . So.... yes, why not.
Did I miss the part where you explained which image was from which device? The test was cool - too bad I didn’t know what was what.
What about the fixed angular focal length? You are very limited for b roll and any kind of picture that isn’t a landscape, family, food photo or very very close portrait with the S9.
I think that the V30 is what you should be comparing against. If shooting in Auto is all you're about, then by all means, but the V30 packs a serious punch once you start dialing some settings into its camera's manual mode, which is more or less what you'd do with a dedicated point and shoot/dlsr camera anyway.
Look @the difference in image-quality on 2:20...the Sony is way clearer and has a much better depth..S9 image looks like a painting...video the same...also much difference in quality.
I'm not one to a get a phone (especially a flagship) when they come out. In fact the S9 is the first one I've ever bought.
It's that good! Like a solid 9.5 out of 10. My V20 is gone. I've got my Moto G5s Plus as my backup (I have 2 voice lines) but this Samsung is so impressive.
Great video and thanks for it!
Take care, Bill
PS: looks like me getting a ginball before our trip is not going to happen... 😔 Can't find a osmo 2 that will for a fact arrive before we leave mid next month.
Yeah I can't believe how good the camera is and the phone overall easily pulled me away from my iphone 👍
Hey Everyday Dad.... I was wondering if you could talk a bit about the specs in OnePlus 6 when it comes to filming and photo quality.
oh... and one more question... If you had to have a photo printed, would you choose to shoot it with your main smartphone or would you pick a regular camera like this Sony RX?
Actually, the main point in comparing these two:
1.) If you want to print, preserve image quality, keep all details for editing like Photoshop. --- get RX100
2.) If you only need the image for FB or instagram. --- get S9 or any other phone out there.
I hope the upcoming photo enthusiasts will not pick the phone, you will regret it later.
I own D7200, iphoneX, S7edge and I have images from friend's mate 20pro, S9 and RX100 to compare.
Also phone's pictures seem good on a small screen, due to the AI enhancements.
Just try to view your FB photos in a 24" monitor, you can see the difference.
I don't know if you had the s9 set to a lower resolution picture quality for all of the sample photos but I could see that at one point at least you had the s9 either on the 16:9 or 18:5:9 crop setting, both of which are lower resolution.
I would have liked to have seen a still pic that was cropped. Cellphones are great till you have to crop or digitally zoom.
Does the Panasonic GX1 with a 20mm f1.7 pancake lens (h020e) perform better or worse than this s9 phone in the night? Thank you SO much. And if the s9 is better. Which camera for like 400 dollar is better than the s9 in the night??
I'm a big Samsung Galaxy fanatic. I am about to pull the trigger on an S9. That said... viewing this on a 50" 4k screen, I can see the quality is better on the RX100V. There is simply more dynamic range. However, most people probably watch TH-cam on a phone screen, so I doubt it matters? The camera that's always with me is usually the winner anyway, which is a Samsung Galaxy of course.
in S9 you need to set ISO to 50 for best result indoor as well as set the aperture to 2.4 since it is the last galaxy s that still has dual aperture
Get FedEx to ship you a huewei for an updated comparison
Phones' cameras are amazing for casual photos, but as soon as you want to play with zoom or depth of field you feel the limitations. I shoot a lot with my iPhone SE but if I'm going on a trip I take with me my RX100.
For us (casual photographers) the RX100 is even better than a full-fledged DSLR because it gives us (kind of) the same capabilities but in a smaller and portable package. It's the best in its niche, thus its price.
Did you try the super slow motion for both of them , s9 can take 960 fps for only 2 secs and can not do manual focus at all .
The reason the rx100 did not do as well in the exposure auto correction is because the photosites are larger and at 30fps the rx100 is gathering more light therefore it can't come down from its lowest native gain.
great videos dude! love them!
Good video if you are interested on impressions of the video capabilities of both platforms, but it does not focus on the picture quality comparison nearly enough for photos. There is one comparison jpeg comparison and the rest is a comparison on how it takes videos.
I don't understand why the Samsung's noisier image and video in low-light wasn't mentioned
DO the DJquosmo 2 handle with s9+? and s9+ with the rode smart lav+?
