        16 bit RAW x 8K per second how much do you think are?
        it not exist any phone capable of this!
        Regarding the 30 min time, it refers th size and internal space; but you can trasnfer thoru full size HDMI to any external storage;
        No real creator record in continuous flow 30 minutes; you need to records parts and ensembly later; that;s means media creator;
        Refering Media Recorde: If you want to record a concert or a football game with this camera, forget about; better take a phone..

            Anonymous, 27 Jan 2021Considering S21 Ultra does 8K at 80Mbps (lower than some ph... moreGuys, i understand that here is a phone forum;
            But not compare the REAL resolution of photo camera with phone resolutions;
            high numbers of phone cameras are mainly marketing;
            Think ourself in size: how big, is a photocamera senzor compared with a phone camera?
            Do you really think that photo makers are stupid? Size alwais matter!
            If you want really to know the phone camera senzor resolution, apply thisGolden rule: divide such high numbers of phone camera resolution to 4 or to 9;
            Example: 48 Mb phone = 12 Mb real, and also at lower pixels for colors;
            108 Mb phone= 12 MG real, but at about 9 pixels per color;
            And not only resolutions counts, it counts the number of pizels related to each colors;
            Phones are limited to 9 or maximum 12.

            20 Mb photocamera, average one, 5 years old, have at least 14 pixels per color;
            do you know NY phone with camera of 280 MB resolution? - according phones resolution classifications

            If we talk about only a 20 Mb pixel photo camers, but it exist since 5 years also 30 Mb, 40MB, recently 80Mb photo cameras;

            I hope you understand that this photo cameras are made not only for sharpness, who can be achieved also in phones, but also for richeness of colors and shadows, where phones can't compete with.

                Only the 4K 16bit raw of this camera is 600Mbps.
                Imagine the 8K.

                Larger sensor = more heat

                      Rareart1, 27 Jan 2021 I prefer Panasonic digital cameras. i feel eyes are the best

                        8k only for 30 minutes with that huge camera? And people over here bash smartphones for time limits on 8k footage despite the fact that smartphones are pocketable.

                            Of course it's not the same quality, but it was too close in regards to details.
                            The same with pictures, if you shoot raw you need processing power most when editing in computer.

                              Killed by competition, be it price of full size 8K cameras or a phone like S20. Not to mention you need a microscope to see details in that screen, like they couldn't afford bigger one, for that money it should be rollable one.

                                  So many comments from people that don't know how mirrorless cameras/DSLRs work and what they are good for. Smartphones have the advantage of computational photography, but they will never (or at least for another 5-10 years) be able to compete with low light performance, capability to zoom in (put a telephoto lens on a DSLR and you'll often get better optical performance and things as portraits will look better), meanwhile when smartphones zoom in the image breaks down. The sensor size is what it's about. The optics is what it's about. Smartphones do miracles with such small sensors, but put a full frame camera in the hands of someone that knows what he's doing, and it'll spank any smartphone to death.

                                    I believe this would boost Sony's sales once again.

                                    And lmao I can't believe people still do not know what's the difference between this cameras and their phone. Just get one of these and y'all know.

                                        I want to add that a further reason for the necessarily shorter exposure time of large cameras is that pressing the shutter button leads to more shake than just touching a touchscreen.
