Regardless of all of that, we went to Samsung's booth once again to snap a few more samples with it. The area outside of is strictly off limits when you have one of Samsung's darlings, but we did get a few fine shots nevertheless.
Check them out!

Photos look great on pre-release software. Can't wait to see the final build on roll out.

The best thing about the camera is the 16:9 default aspect.

Hey PhoneArena: do a M9 vs S6 photo comparison. I know none of them are in final firmware, but just to get an idea how things are shaping up.

Can't physically get them together, since they're all chained to their respective booths.

Only the sensor is Sony. The 6-element F1.9 lens, OIS and software is Samsung's.
That's why Sony can't make a decent Snapper. Only sensor can't do anything.

Incorrect. The problem is not Sony being unable to make a decent snapper. They still have the same problems since XZ, i think that Sony doesn't want to cannibalize it's own camera line (big camera's). Satio etc had excellent hardware, they suddenly dropped it all. Sony is just being an a hole and that's why they lag behind

16:9 is actually a good thing. My TV, desktop, laptop and phone all is 16:9. And you can always use the cropped 12 MP mode.

But the thing is that the field of view in this 16:9 sensor is a lot smaller than in 4:3 sensors. A LOT smaller. It's so annoying when I take pictures and I cannot fit the whole scnene in the picture. Even all of the "real" cameras use 4:3.

IDK about that. A 16:9 can have wider FoV. What's the mm equivalent of S6's camera?

It has nothing to do with sensor ratio but lens focal.
Usually iPhone and Samsung used narrower focal (which I prefer) of about 35/31mm respectively (in 35mm equivalent) xperia z/z1/z2 mounts a wider 28mm lens, same as the new galaxy s6 (note 4 is 31mm, a little bit more zoomed). Lumia 1020 and xperia z3 both mount a wider yet lens 25mm.
I personally prefer narrower 31/35mm because of the lesser distortion and better sharpness over all the frame...

Yes, 16:9 default at 16MP. You also have 12MP (4:3), 8MP (4:3), 6MP (16:9).
You can easily worj with 12/8MP if you like, enough resolution for most work. Infact, this should reduce noise further on pixel-level.

And here I am just wondering why they don't use a f/1.8 aperture?
