Great pic MRU! I swear all this camera phone talk is moot for you. You can take the worst camera phone and make it look great!A great skill to be sure.
Lol .. Thanks matey

OMG that is the cutest sad puppy pick i have ever seen! Well done!seen that the 6+'s OIS makes a world of diff
either way, I'm not an apple fan boy here
What a great pooch
Not mine unfortunately. My next door neighbour, my smoking buddy, got the new pooch last week. When we're outside having a drink/smoke, the little guy just runs around our feet playing while we chat.
I wouldn't have got that shot, if it wasn't for the double tap on home button.
I can't tell you how many times this feature was used on my travels to Southeast Asia. Caught so many wonderful moments thanks to the reliability and quickness of this feature.
I didn't see much difference between the 6 and 6 Plus to be honest. A steady hand in low light and with the digital stabilisation on the 6 as opposed to OIS I found they were quite similar in their results. What sort of conditions were you in when it was hugely noticeable?seen that the 6+'s OIS makes a world of diff

There was a thread in here a while back where both were tested outdoors at night and the user found differences but very little. My experience at a wedding a few months ago gave me the chance to see them side by side too.
That is a great picture! What a beautiful place! Thank goodness the S6 was able to capture all that beauty!S6. Untreated.
A few more. Too many to choose from. All S6.
I could go on and on... Love the S6 camera experience on this trip. Anthony Bordain, eat your heart out!

BTW, one of the things the double-tap quick camera launch helped me to capture on my journeys?

It's great to have all of these samples so we can see how good the pictures from all cell phone cameras really are.
Thanks. I photographed my entire trip (except for underwater moments; that's when I used the GoPro!) to capture every moment of my journey. Not once did I feel I needed to pull out my Canon point-and-shoot (RIP!).
I'm still going through the thousands of photos and so far virtually all of them are stunning. This camera delivered beyond my wildest imaginations. The iPhone 6 camera is great, but this is beyond. Ease of use; quickness; reliability; photo quality; extra features... all superior to any smartphone I've ever used.
Fantastic pictures! But this one is making me hungry!A few more. Too many to choose from. All S6.

i jus tested teh 6, 6+ and s6 around the office with my phone and a few co-workers phones
and you are right, the overall differences are so minor. in the pure detail, the S6 was edging out.
in the mixed lightning of the office (some offices have windows, some are darker, and all have different flaurescent lights). I noticed, where the iPhone 6 started to lose out was some of the lesser lit areas. I'm not talking about "dark", but just not, directly in the sun. I think this is due to the lack of OIS, where some of the details started to be less noticable and a little quality. the 6+ and S6 were able to keep up.
I'm not talkin about dramatic differences. here. if you get an iPhone or S6, you wil have a great mobile camera
Also loving the slow motion capture, but can't upload those videos

Agree that its a physics problem and thin phones are working against a larger sensor implementation. But there is still room for improvement as far a lens groups go, 5-6 lens groups can be reduced to 3-4, but I dont know what the trade off is.
The greater point is, higher MP is being touted as an improvement and the opposite of that is true. A quick look at the pictures will show the aggressive noise reduction in the bokeh, which means even in daylight NR has to work hard.
MP is the new MHZ. bigger numbers impress people.
anyone who knows photography, will just laugh. I've still got my first ever DSLR, 6.2mpx, with APS-C sensor, and the photos from it, while lacking in detail, rival anything even high MPX cameras produce today.
the difference is, I have to frame my shot better cause there's no Cropping later! I've since upgraded to a 10mpx 40D.
Yes! The slo-mo is way cool.i jus tested teh 6, 6+ and s6 around the office with my phone and a few co-workers phones

wish it worked on the Front Facing camera too.
don't do the selfy thing, but, easier to frame certain shots that way
@epicrayban Great pics. Where were you travelling ? India/Goa ?
I was thinking of heading off to India to an Ashram for a month myself at the end of Summer.

No...it isn't, but the iPhone pics are smaller and lose detail easily when manipulated. Just so happens the S6 has a dramatically better sensor and larger photos to work with without losing detail and creating noise.
And no one is talking about DSLR. We are talking about smartphones. Conflating the two is pathetic deflection to sugarcoat Apple's performance lapse compared to the S6.
This isn't a subjective singular opinion either. It's a consensus.
But the galaxy s5,note 4 and galaxy s6 all kept it 16mp and I'm willing to bet the note 5 stays at 16mp as well
They have kept the mega pixels the same for the last 2 years almost and made advancements else where.
Careful what you wish for!
I think it's Cambodia. His first pic showed Angkor Wat. I went there few times when I was young.
