Galaxy S5 camera shown off in new video

Pre-release, much has been said about Samsung's 16 MP ISOCELL sensor, most positive, but after the phone was released and some pictures were taken, some people were disappointed by the camera's performance, mainly in tricky situations such as low-light. 

In this video, Samsung is trying to show how the S5's camera performs great in every lighting/movement situation. Moving has been another issue once Samsung's omission of an OIS was revealed, and it is getting a 'thorough test' in this video. While I think the consensus is that in fair light the S5 performs nicely, the interesting part is when the sun starts setting. Before we get on with the commentary, watch the video below:




Purely based on what we see in this video, it seems Samsung breaks most of the bad reports concerning the camera's performance, as it seems to perform particularly well in all situations, including a video seemingly shot from a helicopter, in which the lack of IOS isn't showing at all.

However, worrying is Samsung's line, "certain images and videos may be enhanced". While that was expected, it is worrying we might see the Lumia case all over again (I'm talking about the camera-performance video by Nokia about the Lumia 1020, when they pass by a mirror and the alleged Lumia 1020 doing the shooting is actually revealed to be a complex set of high-end cameras. Hmm...). 

Nonetheless, these videos were probably shot by the S5, and while it might not be fair as well in reality, it is by no means a bad camera and is overall on par with the rest of the market.
