Galaxy A71 camera.........
2

I've been pretty happy with the dynamic range compared to my older J7. Back of my shaded  flower bed. Ok, not great but easier than my dslr

There is another discussion on the A71 not taking pictures when the shutter is pressed. I was having this same problem until I figured today I was pressing too firmly and too long. It acted like it took a photo but it didn't. Now, I do a quicker/lighter press and it works every time.

Re: Galaxy A71 camera.........

Brian,

How do you like the phone overall?  I am seriously looking at the A71 for me and the 51 for my wife since it's smaller.

We are both on iphone 8s now and mine is giving me fits.

Re: Galaxy A71 camera.........

I'm not a tech geek so I don't know all the workings of the A71. However, I do like the power charger. It will charge in 30 minutes from an almost drained battery.

The camera is pretty good in most situations but if I zoom to take a photo the results are totally unusable. It may be set wrong i don't know.

I'm sure it has great features that I'm not aware of. Sorry I can't be of more help but I'm just a simple guy. Technology makes my head spin.

I am really tech oriented but I am sick of "flagship" device prices.  If the camera works as good as my iphone 8,  and gets better battery life,  I am happy.

Agree with everything you folks said. Im not a power user when it comes to cell phones, but the A71 does all I need it to do. Screen display to me is fantastic. I could afford a flagship phone,   but I would be throwing money away for my purposes.

That looks really nice. I think these cameras especially for the middle range phones are really good at processing images rather than taking raw pictures.

Yes,  they are.  Against my better judgement I bought 2 iphone 11's.  If I had my time back,  I would have got the 71 for me and the 51 for my wife.  I cannot wait to get this contract over with.  NO more apple products for me.  If I can sell it and pay off the tab sooner, I am.  I hate apple as a company.  I will NEVER buy another apple device.

Why the hate for Apple? While I'm mostly a android (Pixel) user, my 6S and SE have been excellent. The value of a used iPhone is substantially higher than a similar android, build quality is superior, more support from Apple, and all have decent/excellent cameras. Apple employs 90,000 in the US and HUGE numbers of US related jobs. DXO rates the camera of the Samsung A71 at 84 vs your iPhone 11 at 109.

Go search my comments in the iphone 11 thoughts post in iOS talk. It has NOTHING to do with hadware, and EVERYTHING to do with the ethics of apple as a company. Have a read.  I don't care if they employed have of the US.  I don't live there.  It's all to do with what I commented about over there.
