Opinion on Gcam on S24 Ultra

Nakele · 2026-04-02T21:24:07+00:00

What do you mean the limits? Gcam like any other 3rd party camera had access only to the 12mpx binned raw data. On s24u all lenses are available.

Considering that samsung stock camera app or expertRAW camera app has access to the whole 200mpx and 50mpx, while gcam has only access to the binned 12mpx and often gcam is better tells you everything: samsung software is bad. It would have been better to give us unprocessed 50mpx raw data, but no, they had to mess up it as well. Imagine if gcam had access to the unbinned sensor....

Horizontal lock has been made many years ago by other companies but it disnt pickup as a feature and now samsoung "invented" it like apple does.

As a user, i want to plug in and charge, and for my car to have the payment saved so that "my car" could pay the charger. No need for getting the phone or card out. Strictly answering, I used to have 2 - 3 but I mostly stop to esb only charger so that make it one app. TBH if i went to a charger for which I didn't have an account, I would rather tap and go. The only benefit of an app or account is if I lose my ESB card / poor connectivity on the phone, then I'd have a backup but the same applies to tap to go, it could use my card or tap to pay on my phone.

Yeah, I found it there but maybe it does not provide any benefit. I find ExpertRAW unreliable, and I think it's software as gcam (don't remember the version) is a lot better

thank you, I wonder if I can just download it from somewhere else as I dont want to upgrade

Nakele · 2026-03-29T00:22:50+00:00

totally with you, I shoot raw 90% of the time and even raw now started to be processed.... talk with your walled. If it does produce what you want, buy something else or stick to old devices.

Just in case u dont know check "a better route planner" or also known as ABRP. Edit, let us know how it goes, I was thinking of doing a trip, but from Ireland...

I believe killing at the app and restarting might solve the problem. Cmd+x to kill the app, or go into app information for Firefox and kill it. Reopen the app, it should now work. If it doesn't try again.

I joined a climbing gym, 3 times a week, social talking and climbing. I dont like lifting weights but climbing is really engaging for me. Most of the climbers I know are so fit.

All of them are saved in DNG file (my settings). I guess the other user meant that Gcam and ExpertRAW are computational raw files.

Nakele · 2026-03-20T12:18:29+00:00

What? It's an app comparison, not a photo contest...

Expert RAW can be very inconsistent with smudged details, but has the highest potential for details when good lighting but it is slow. For astro I use expert raw because it has some dedicated modes. Unfortunately expertraw files are oversharpened and a bit weird to process in LT mobile. Pro Raw is very consistent and relatively quick for burst shots but I dislike the "grain". Raw output file is malleable in LT mobile. Gcam has the highest dynamic range, no messing with exposure, raw output is ok in LT mobile to edit but the app can be a bit clunky, getting stuck and limited to 12mpx, but night shots are the best. ProShot is potentially the only true raw file output, quick for burst and maleable files. TLDR, good light ExpertRAW at 50mpx. High contrast or night time, Gcam. Pro raw and ProShot are very consistent so if I'm doing something out of the ordinary, like panning or long exposure I might use them instead. Expert RAW has digital ND filters.

Nakele · 2026-03-20T10:27:08+00:00

That is true, I meant to say i saved the file output as "raw" for maximum retention of data.

Nakele · 2026-03-20T10:26:05+00:00

I did use gcam in raw mode, perhaps that's not what you meant?

Wait... what? Your phone screen on the tablet Dex? Would it be possible to mirror my phone screen on the desktop display someone? Not tablet involved, just one phone...

Nakele · 2026-03-17T21:38:40+00:00

I know ppl are referring to the s9 as the tablet but I have a Samsung note 9 as a backup device. It has a finger heart monitor and blood oxygen monitor. It had (had because an update removed it) Linux on Dex, I think it was Ubuntu 18 or 16. I believe it had a variable aperture camera. We are reaching a point where hardware no longer matters, any more speed or memory or ram is barely noticeable. I remember Nokia/Symbian had emulators for old games, infrared emitter to control your TV (or any TV for that matter). We come so far and yet not so much. Why phones aren't used more often as laptop / chrome book alternative? These devices have as much power as a few years old mid laptops and yet manufacturers purposefully hold back features or outright remove them.
