Oh no, not you, too! Yeah the virus manifests differently in different people. My family demonstrated varying degrees of symptoms and recovery times. I had a long scary bout of heart inflammation that forced me to stay very inactive. I often get that with any bug, but usually it lasts just a day or two, not weeks. I’m glad you’re recovering and I hope your family is well.
I think lockdown and self quarantine has exacerbated any dissatisfaction my husband has had with his S20 Ultra. Mine, not quite as much. But under normal circumstances, our family would have traveled at least once, maybe twice to different beaches by now. And we would have put our zooms to more use.
I know my husband would have had fun with the Ultra’s zoom capabilities. I was quite impressed with even the more modest zoom on my S 20 the other day. I was zooming in on wildlife and getting pics I never could get decently before. That was fun!
But the regular indoor family photos we’ve been limited to taking have a slight disadvantage relative to iPhone photos because we, at least, have noticed the cameras are just not as good at working fast in low light. They hold the lens open to take in more light, which is fantastic in static scenes, but that means more motion blur with living subjects. I think iPhones probably do the same, but the faster A13 Bionic Chip is a force to be reckoned with doing Pixel-like computational photography to speed things along to capture the moment. While being at less mercy to the physical limitations of the mechanical specs of the cameras. Samsung is simply a bit behind on computational photography.
Of course, there’s a pro mode to be investigated and practiced and I fully intend to reacquaint myself with it. My husband is working from home, but has lost vacation time. So he doesn’t have a commute to deal with, which is nice, but he also has actually had less opportunity to play with his phones than he normally would have by now. If we would have done a better job anticipating the reality of the life changes Covid would have wrought on daily routines, I think he would have stuck with his Note. It would have served him better than the Ultra has.
For me, I’m definitely happier with my S20. I’m loving the crazy immense pixel density for content consumption. The smaller lighter size gives my wrists a break, too. lol, I’ve strained them playing more on my Nintendo Switch than usual. Even my husband has got an Animal Crossing town going.😬
