Hello! I promised to make a full review of my new S9 once I get the device. However my review got erased somehow before I could publish it. In the meantime, I went ahead and tested the new camera. Those shots aren't focusing on the variable aperture.
//////NOTE: All shots are taken with Auto mode.
PART 1- Textures
I started with some textures to see how the camera captures a lot of details. I took photographs of a road and of a sidewalk.
Those shots are sharp and free of noise So far so good.
Then I wanted to see the dynamic range of the camera. You can see below that dynamic range is great and doesn't come at the cost of details.
Finally I finished textures trials with a night shot. Yet again I was surprised by how sharp and noise-free the shot was. This camera is a born winner here.
PART 2- Daylight delight.
Great capture of textures alone don't make for an awesome camera. It's very important that the camera shines when the sun shines.
On the above picture, there is a lot of noise in the shade and on the darker clouds.
Same goes here in the left building. Less noise but still. However the details are simply awesome.
I think that the camera is very very very good. Details are present, oversharpening isn't an issue anymore. Its only issue is noise on dimmer areas.
Coming soon in Camera Reviews: "Beautyfall", "Midnight shots" and "Take your time".. And of course the full review!

I am indeed. Remember the S9's tag line: "The Camera, Reimagined"
