A Photographer's in Depth Review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Camera Capabilities

27 24



In this review, I go over everything the Note 8’s cameras can do, their new features, how they excel, and what they’re lacking, for both photos and videos.

It’s also worth mentioning that I somehow forgot to talk about the waterproof part. I did do some underwater stuff and everything worked quite well.

Second note, there IS a little bit of speed control with the Hyperlapse mode, from auto to 4X all the way to 32X speed, but that’s it. No other controls while in that mode.

Third note: The slow motion is in fact in 720p at 240 fps.

    hi brent , samsung phones tend to soften the skin and make it look very flat…. does raw shooting help to prevent it from processing the skin the way it does?sometimes i feel it captures skin tones of vampires! like there's no red and orange hues in people's skin it's so lifeless🤦🏻‍♂️

  8. Mountain Mettling says

    Thanks again Brent, I had to watch this again! Check out my photos on Facebook shot with my Note 8.

  9. Vincent Chan says

    How about the ISOCELL version?

  10. Abu al-Sous says

    many thx

  11. Elizabeth Franceschi says

    to advance for me. could you break this features down and demonstrate them?

  12. Larry Ka'ina Akimseu says

    Brent, came across your vids. I have a Note 8. Just curious I love taking sports shots. How can I stop blurr?

  13. Dub Campbell says

    Hey Brent, I've only seen this Note 8 camera review but I like your presentation so much I subscribed immediately!
    I could probably come up with dozens of questions but for now I only have one. What software do you use for editing your video? Your video is so clean I have to know! Obviously the video is great quality to begin with… I'm a Canon fan too… but edited video on YouTube is rarely as clean as yours and I'm thinking the software's rendering must be top shelf. It seems to be a notch or two better than Vegas Pro for instance, so what is it? Thanks.

    Fellow photographer … just Subbed! Great info

  15. Bradley Proulx says

    My note 4 still rocking it too..digging the 8 too..great summery review hope you slow it down some later on for some tips and tricks one on one processes

  16. Pat Cavanaugh says

    I have a note 4. Is there a huge difference? I snapped a photo of a food dish and now I am unable to photograph a sky scene at night.

  17. GnomeSchool says

    Great video! Thanks, this is super informative!

  18. Carolyn Logan says

    You were wrong about the night shooting. It takes great shots without the snow.

  19. Giovanni Siciliano says

    i order it, and need to use it to make photo to books pages,
    do you have some suggestion?

  20. Drake Hansen says

    Great review!

  21. Rikhi Kang says

    Great review mate. I'm ordering this phone for my wife. She needs to take pics of cakes in her shop. Do you think this will be a good enough device for quick indoor daylight photos?

  22. milk walrus says

    A huge bummer for me is the airbrush on the selfie front camera. I sort of regret buying the note 8 now bevause of that.

  23. GAproductions says

    do you suggest any mobile video editor?

  24. GAproductions says

    do you think things can change on an update?

  25. Abdullah Fadel says

    21 min video is ridiculously long. You could've just made it shorter and summarized all the features instead of telling a story

  26. Raghav Nayyar says

    My live focus doesn't work well in low light or indoors..depth mode of my oneplus 5t works so well indoors..Can you help me ??

  27. KING Edward says

    Do you think it's better than the iPhone x camera?
