What Camera Am I Using?

I've had some questions concerning what camera I'm using. So, let me give the details.

I shoot my videos with my smartphone. And it's the Samsung Galaxy S10+. I got it in 2023, I think. I was hoping you wouldn't make me bore you with the specs, so I'll be brief here. It comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage memory. There are three cameras on the back (12.0 MP + 16.0 MP + 12.0 MP) and two in front (12.0 MP) --actually, it's one, the other one is a depth sensor that looks like a camera. I love it especially because it can shoot UHD 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) @60fps, max. I can also watch video of up to UHD 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels) @30fps. Impressive, huh?

So, one of the best things I use it for, is shooting videos and taking pictures. I usually use the Pro Camera feature within the camera app. Some phones, like the iPhone, have to force you to get or pay for a different app to harness the pro capabilities of the camera. But, Samsung's default camera app comes with Pro functionalities, built-in. I love it! Using the Pro Camera, you can adjust the shutter speed, ISO, focus (bokeh), white balance and a few other things on the settings.

When I want to shoot videos, I particularly like turning on HDR+ because it captures more light in the same environment and situation. And allows you to adjust the feel of the video later. I also love setting the camera to 24 frames per second (fps). I don't know why, it just gives me this cinematic feel and wide angle. Based on your liking, you might like 9:16 or 9:21. It's a subjective choice. Sometimes, I use 9:21, but most of the time, I use 9:16 because it's common for all screens. What I'm trying to capture is what determines the choice.

The Samsung Galaxy S10+ retails at #370,000 on Jumia, as of this writing. When I got it, it was #180,000+. So, we have to decide early, I guess.

Just in case you feel a little biased to other brands, and choose to buy those, let me say this. The phone with the best camera system is the newer, high-end iPhone. The next best, technically, is the high-end Samsung. The next best would be a high-end Xiaomi. (And I keep being particular about the word, high-end.) So, take your time, do your homework, seek counsel, and get a good deal. I hope this helps.
