Canon S95 in 2016 Mobile Phone Cameras
You are currently reading a thread in /p/ - Photography
Many of the pictures taken on my Motorola Nexus 6 look better than the ones taken on my old Canon S95 under the same conditions. The camera on this phone is considered to be just average compared to other phones. Have modern mobile phone cameras finally surpassed the S95 in IQ?

Doubt it.

Under what conditions? In daylight, phone cameras have been really good for quite a while. In artificial lighting, my S90 is still better than my Sony Z1, especially with a bit of raw processing.
Also, zoom and flash.
Just took a couple of pics to compare the S95 (left) and the Nexus 6 (right). What do you think?

They look the same, but that's like 0.5 megapixels of resolution.

I think right looks more saturated and left is sharper and clearer
I'd still go with the S95

You need to compare 100% crops.
S95 has zoom lenses. Cellphones have prime. That's why.
Prime >>>>>> zoom always

This is a bad comparison, zoom in on a high contrast part of the image and see how both compare then.
S95 is a dedicated device for taking pictures, it has a better feature set and beter ergonomics. The sensor and IQ possible with a certain camera is so fucking overrated. People need to remember that a camera should be comfortable and full of features that help you take pictures, not just be a box with the best sensor possible.
