Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Image sample (JPG, RAW) download link

Recently, I got Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and I was impressed with its camera. The image quality is good and RAW file is actually usable. So here are some examples with my thoughts on different mode.

Pro mode: You can control pretty much the same thing as you would on your big DSLR or Mirrorless camera, ISO, Aperture, Auto-Focus, White Balance, and Exposure, the usual stuffs are there.

And when you choose to take photos as RAW+JPG, it produces pretty good DNG file.

Here are some photo comparison of JPG and RAW. You can also download the original files, so you can try to edit and compare them by yourself.

Those 24mp DNG files contain great detail on shadows and highlights which you can recover with editing software like Adobe Lightroom.

The difference is night and day. It goes edited RAW files, JPG file. RAW file itself tends to be brighter than JPEG file. On last three photo, I compared, JPG HDR on, JPG HDR off, and Edited RAW file. With HDR turned on, you get more detail when it compared to normal JPG, still RAW file includes more detail.
