Apple or Android? What do you use? What takes the best pictures?

[siggy]

I have a Samsung, and I am not thrilled with the Pics. Maybe I need to use my Canon or head back to Apple ;Meh I seen a few pictures from the Pixel and Wow they were great. Thoughts?

Don’t have anything else to compare it with but with a little effort and using digital filters I can get some fairly decent pictures with my older Apple device, a friend of mine has the new Apple phone, 11 pro I think it is? and for a phone it takes absolutely amazing photos.

I use iPhone, although i prefer Android. Best phone camera EVER was the Microsoft Lumia.

My wife has a new apple and I have her old one for a reserve, Im going to give it a shot.

My wife’s Cannon 60D and I’m pretty poor at photography.

IMO the secret to good coral photos with a smartphone is manual focus. On an Android phone this means finding a phone that has the Camera2 API, then downloading an app like Manual Camera. This allows you to set everything manually, e.g. white balance, focus, exposure, etc.

I think that is Android specific info and have no idea how it works on an iPhone.

I use an iPhone, but my Pentax takes the best pictures.....

I have an older android and am not at all happy with the pics I take. Pretty sure it's more an operator than equipment problem. Going to have to look into that manual camera app. Thanks for the tip @AquaBiomics.

Android pro mode is second to none on the S8 and up.

+ 1 on the operator

I am going to have to try one of those, thanks

It comes stock on my note 9. From what I've read it's on the s8s as well looks like this
Allows you to manually focus, shutter speed, and a bunch of other things.


I'm just talking in terms of phone cameras though

my Canon 6D with 100mm f2.8L takes the best pictures.

but i've been too lazy to take it out, transfer over pictures to computer, process them, then upload... etc...

so i've been using my Pixel 2XL, and just using in-phone edit to fix white balance, crop, resize, then drop to computer over bluetooth.

I have an apple xr. I think it does a decent job on photos.

My pixel 3 with lenses can take really nice photos if I clean my glass lol

S10+ pro mode. Great pics

Never had tried a samsung but I have an old iPhone 6 and can get pretty decent pictures using a truVu Lens. Its seems to do the best when taking close up pictures. The colors are accurate but the background is pretty blue. I recently got an Olympus TG 6 water proof camera and it takes much better pictures without being washed out in as much blue.

Olympus TG 6, if you can't tell by now I love LPS lol

How did I never see pro mode on my galaxy s8+? I just checked and its there, ha.

I think it takes pretty decent pictures. Here are some unedited pictures I snapped using an android galaxy s8+.

Android, once in awhile I get one good picture out of a hundred.
