Galaxy S5 vs LG G3: Camera Battle!

2014-07-29
this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club what's going on guys Oh Marklin sangyoon from TechnoBuffalo and today we'll be taking a quick look at the LG g3 and the samsung galaxy s5 and see how the cameras on both these devices compare and we'll be seeing some low-light shots ease of use and see the performance on these two bad boys and we're going to see who wins first up is LG g3 if you haven't seen a review for this device already we just want to quickly reiterate how incredible it is design is terrific the screen is great and the entire experience is one of the best we've ever seen the camera though is what really impressed us the LG g3 comes equipped with a 13 megapixel rear facing camera with optical image stabilization this function helps reduce blur and shaking and ensure your photos come out crisp and clear and even in low-light situations the g3 also sports a laser autofocus which is used to more accurately and instantly measure the distance to your subject this allows for the fastest possible autofocus giving you the ability to take photos quickly there's nothing more frustrating than a camera that struggles to focus the g3 has no issues whatsoever also beside that 13 megapixel shooter is a dual LED flash which promises better illumination and even more natural tones digging a little deeper to the g3 it's also capable of shooting video of course including 4k Ultra HD the galaxy s5 on the other hand sports a slightly bigger 16 megapixel sensor along with a single LED flash Samsung doesn't include oh I as though the company does provide digital stabilization which uses software enhancement to provide shake free video and crisper images it can film in 4k too which is where the digital stabilization really comes in handy Samsung also promised a faster autofocus along with the real-time HDR processing selective focus that allows you to lower the background in a more improved interface but where the s5 really shines is in a future Department there's a ton of options and customizations including best photo best face eraser drama shot and many many more basically anything you can think of was included so we give Sam some credit for offering such a robust experience filled with plenty of cool features despite all those features the Galaxy s5s user interface is actually fairly intuitive and pretty easy to navigate the g3 scammer app isn't all that bad either has a great interface it's very simplistic and reminds me a bit of the stock Google camera app but with a bit more of LG skin over it all the menus and settings are pretty easy to swipe through to all the necessary settings and shooting modes are just a click away it doesn't come with quite as many shooting modes and options s5 but it's still very impressive and the simplicity of it all might make the overall experience less daunting on paper the galaxy s5 seems like the better camera but we've learned in the past a higher megapixel count doesn't always equal superior quality just look at the iPhone 5s as 8 megapixel camera as an example more megapixels stuffed onto a smaller sensor can often result in greater your pictures and poor low-light performances it's often a fine line when a company bumps up the megapixel Cal the g3 has a sensor size of 8.4 millimeter while the galaxy s5 is slightly bigger at nine point seven millimeter but size doesn't always matter the g3 packs a slightly smaller megapixel count on a smaller sensor giving it about the same low-light performance as the galaxy s5 and in real world testing it seems that the g3 0 is really helps in low-light situations the camera can shoot in slower shutter speed and a lower ISO to give it a nicer and cleaner look low-light shots on galaxy s5 seems to have more noise and image and the color reproduction doesn't seem to match what we naturally see in person or produced by the g3 when it comes to different lighting conditions like out in broad daylight the galaxy s5 is up to par if not better than the g3 I find that some of the shots seems to be much sharper while colors are more vivid and there's not too much contrast compared to the g3 super contrast the images the auto white balance on these two cameras are completely different to both the g3 and the galaxy s5 can vary in different lighting conditions sometimes the g3 s camera tends to showcase a much more warmer tone while the Galaxy s5 has a bit cooler look to it and vice versa let's take a quick break from this video and thank our friends at Dollar Shave Club buying razors suck right you
