Hi All,
Currently I have the S7. I am looking at buying an S9 and wonder if the camera app has solved some of the issues which the S7 app has:
1) Can it be configured so it shoots raw and jpeg concurrently, and the setting is saved, and you get it every time you start the app with the shortcut (double press on the Home button? - I know there isn't one, so how is it launched?)
2) Can it write stills and videos to the SD card? The S7 app cannot, if you shoot in raw. Only 3rd party apps can (I use Footej Camera) but these cannot be opened with the button shortcut. Admittedly this is less relevant since there is a 64GB version of the phone.
3) Can one still do a USB transfer to a PC i.e. the phone appears as a USB drive? The S7 can.
Many thanks in advance for any feedback.
It seems to me that the S9 is the best phone camera out presently, unless you want to accept tradeoffs e.g. Iphone X (IOS, very expensive), Huawei P20 (no 3.5mm jack and no wireless charging), etc. I just need raw pics, which come out nicely in Lightroom with a bit of processing, avoiding the "Samsung photo" over-saturation and over-sharpening
