Re: S21 camera disappointment

You certainly are not alone, my friend.  I bought a Galaxy S21 after owning an S5 and later an S10.  The S10 took great photos even at 10X zoom.

The S21 camera is much more complicated/sophisiticated, but the fact is that anything above 3X zoom results in fuzzy/blurry images.  I thought it was me at first, but I have spent hours on the internet looking at videos and have played/changed with the settings/reset to factory, etc etc.....You can see online that many others are experiencing the same or similar problems.  Many users have returned their phones only to have the same issues with a new S21.  The simple fact is that the S21 camera or the software has serious shortcomings when it comes to focusing.  It is very, very disappointing considering I paid around $800, only to have crappy photos on anything other than 0.5 to 3X zoom.  The S21 camera basically sucks.
