iPhone 14/Plus iPhone 200mp

Samsungs 200mp is pretty good. Will Apple get 200mp soon?

I don't think it will.

Pixel count doesn’t matter if CCD can’t take advantage of those pixels. If all of those pixels just generate noise when up close, it is a waste.

The 200mp camera looks good in the video I posted.

This reminds me of the pixel wars of cameras, all trying to outdo each other on paper. It finally stopped and sensors size was prioritised instead and limitations of glass was then dictated by physics alone. I suppose a decade later the software has caught up so much that the pixel war marketing can start all up again.

Modern smartphone camera, pixel count is not the determine factor of how good image quality is past a certain point.

Also, with so so so many things powered by AI or some form of machine intelligence one way or another, what you see could very well be a software processed result that’s looking good for average folks and casual users, rather than the true representation of camera alone.

Let’s also not forget, smartphone only has such physical size to begin with. They are still way too far from being comparable with DSLR, while not having real optical zoom Like DSLR has.

Is 48MP the sweet spot or could they increase the resolution a little bit in a year or two?

More megapixels mean larger files and longer waits between pictures. Memory won't last long with giant file sizes for each picture/video. It will not improve picture quality. Optics are the key along with processing algorithms.

for specific uses. Not so great in others.

Is the 200MP Camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra a Gimmick?

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with a massive 200 megapixel camera. But does anyone really need that many pixels?

More small pixels means more noise. The number is pixels does not tell you everything about quality.

Pixels don't really matter for photos (to a point obviously), the only reason the iPhone has 48MP is because you need that for 8K video.
