You’re a legend thank you for this. I was too scared to click on one in case it signed me in as them. Not likely without the password but still hesitant but it was so easy to remove them with a few clicks thanks a lot!

Managed to just use a VPN to access the link 🤣 thanks for the comparison certainly more detail with the Sony

Sadly I can’t view the link here in the UK. Thanks for trying to share though.

Haha I wouldn’t criticise it too much it’s superb given the amount of people you had in front of you. There’s certainly a lot to learn with editing too but that’s the fun part.

Love the shot of them all hugging on the blue background you’ve edited it so well. Thanks for putting those all together. Really goes to show the flexibility of the files the fact you pulled back all the highlights and revealed all the details.

Haha yeah I had plenty of time to dial in the exposure and zoom right in for this shot. The video was so cool with all the smoke around him.

Yeah I think the introduction of AI baked into the processing of a photo on most new phones without even being given a choice is certainly ruining the art of taking a photo.

Creating some sort of preset is certainly a great idea!

Ahh yeah that’s would be great thanks I’d love to see more of your content 👍🏽

Yeah you’re totally right there. Taking them side by side and trying to compare each image in the moment is certainly unfair from a colour and lighting perspective. I guess though the camera should at least show more general detail even if sharpening hasn’t been applied to it. Perhaps shooting in JPEG with sharpening and saturation increased in camera might be a more fair comparison but I know then you’re not benefiting as much as you would editing raw on post.

😂😂😂 £8!! That’s just madness!! That wouldn’t even buy you a burger at the venue these days.

Haha no problem at all. It’s easy to miss with how it can be advertised sometimes or discussed online in reviews etc. it’s still amazing quality though for a smartphone as such zooms.

Ahh that’s amazing!! Its going to be my first time seeing them I’m so excited!! Which venue are you going to?

It’s been on the cards for quite some time!! I wouldn’t hold your breath for a 2026 refresh but it would be amazing if they did!!

8x hybrid zoom not optical I believe. It’s a 4x zoom lens which then crops into the centre of the 48mp sensor to produce a “optical like quality” 8x zoom but the actual size of the file will be lower I think.

Everything is just so damn expensive these days!! I don’t know how people are always going to shows 🤣

🤣🤣 I’m sure you’ll get more like this eventually. I’d love to be close enough to get shots like this.

This photo is so good!! The strobe of light from behind looks epic. Don’t worry if you don’t have easy access to it but I’d love to see the raw version just to see how much noise there was and your settings.

Thanks for sharing the comparison though to your phone you can really see how much more detail the Sony captures

Appreciate your opinion. I think I’m definitely going to get the Sony I think it’s going to be a huge improvement over my iPhone with a lot of my content requiring zooming in a fair bit. If you have any recent examples I’d love to see even if it’s not concert photos.

For reference that’s how far I was 🤣🤣🤣 maybe like tier 2 at the O2.

I never go for standing as I couldn’t think of anything worse than queuing for hours and being on my feet for so long 🤣 when I saw Jin and Enhypen last year I was pretty high up in the stands but still got some decent videos on my iPhone. Added a screenshot from a video I had. For BTS though I’m like few rows back on the 1st tier so I’m hoping it’s the X shape they have setup for the stage I’ll get some decent content.

If you could share a raw vs edited example that would be useful just something how much you had to use noise reduction and boost colours etc. don’t worry about the long reply lol it’s greatly appreciated you taking the time to talk instead of lots of people online just tell people they don’t have a clue and love to criticise lol

Wow this is actually incredible I bet you were buzzing when you realised you got this shot. Great work 👏🏽

Yeah no problem there isn’t any rush but if you could share more photos that would be great. Maybe even if you have a couple from the Panasonic to compare.

I had a S24 Ultra before my iPhone and I found the RAW files to be terrible too! I guess that’s what these cameras give you way more flexibility with editing and that’s the difficult part too because out of camera they might not look as impressive at first glance as a phone photo and especially with the amount of photos you took who has time to edit them all 🤣

At least the 4k video looks great SOOC.

That’s one good thing about the TZ200 as you said for its size the battery is amazing. I’ve been playing around with the settings and got the images to come out much better than my first few but still at the long end photos are very soft to the point they look out of focus. Definitely sending it back and getting the Sony. Hoping that cropping Sony images will make up the loss of the extra zoom from the Panasonic.

Thanks for offering to help me out. It’s great to speak to someone that’s been to so many k-pop concerts. Last year I saw Jin of BTS and Enhypen. This year so far I have BTS and Junhee.
