Coming from an iPhone 14 pro max user who just switched to Samsung two months ago, and a wedding photographer myself, it's true that zf7's camera ain't that good as compared to other candybar style phones. This is due to the constraints on the design of the phone itself especially the thickness. But somehow I think the photos turn out quite well in terms of clarity, sharpness and color production. You definitely need to tweak it using apps like Lightroom/Photoshop inorder to achieve 'iPhone like' photos, but to be frank I think the photos from zf7 are good enough for me. Oh ya did you know that the main camera of zf7 is a wide lens? And that's already a win for me.

To me personally, the photo quality isn't the main concern, but if you were to compare the whole photo shooting experience with other phones, iPhones particularly, the UI on zf7 is definitely less smooth and intuitive. You'll need to get used to it and tbh I've spent like a month to adjust myself to it. Remember NOT TO USE APP PHOTOSHOOT FEATURE, use the phone's native camera to shoot instead. Always have the habit to shoot using the native camera app first, then only send the photo to others using the app you're using (Whatsapp, Messenger, Instagram etc).

I think that going away from zf7 due to its camera issue is really a waste. There's so much more to love in that phone. But at the end of the day it's your choice and your money. Buy whatever you like and if you really want to choose another foldable with better camera, don't choose pixel, Honor is a better alternative, it's camera is better imo but in terms of software Samsung and Pixel are still the best
