Stanley Kubrick, 05 Aug 2021"Just like people who are stuck on 60hz display think ... more120hz is definitely not a gimmick.
"Once you go 120hz, you never go back...." that statement is indeed true.

Stanley Kubrick, 05 Aug 2021"Just like people who are stuck on 60hz display think ... moreI have used two flagships with high refresh rate (120hz) now.
One had 240hz touch sampling rate, my current one has 480hz touch sampling rate.. I am never going back to pedestrian 60hz again.
Maybe get your eyes and touch sensors on your body checked thoroughly.

Android--Master, 05 Aug 2021It's plenty bright for you since you haven't expe... moreoh, master, i beg of you, be merciful and explain to poor me how "It's plenty bright for you since you haven't experienced anything better." when it comes to a more bright display (o 500-550 vs 800-1000) outside of using the phone in very bright environment settings.
the rest, hmmm... i don't give a flying ... hm, hm... hot methanous emanation ... its just a matter of needs and preferences. why should i need 120hz for static or quasistatic apps? you know... phone calls, web surfing, taking pictures... i don't waste my time playing games on a 6.1" smartphone when i have a 32" fast monitor.
the rest of your message...? just self-serving inane ramblings on things nobody asked you about or care to ask.

Stanley Kubrick, 05 Aug 2021"Just like people who are stuck on 60hz display think ... moreJust because you can't tell the difference, it does not mean it would be a gimmick. It most certainly is not. Especially during gaming, 60 Hz is quite bad compared to 120 Hz in my opinion.

My OnePlus 8T is capable of 120 and I leave it on 60. I have used both and the difference is so hard to really see that it makes little difference. It's just a gimmick like so many other things in today's cell phones.

Tann, your initial claim were that tof helps in giving a certain depth characteristics in normal photos which photographers refers to as lenses with '3d pop'. Now don't change that.

"Some systems can “fake it” in software. The idea is simple: the phone builds a depth map, somehow, of your image. Then it uses software tricks to blur the more distance areas. There’s some potential there, but they’re easily fooled so far. And the computer folks have dialed in a bit of Gaussian blur, but not what photographers call good “bokeh” (the quality of out-of-focus imagery)"
Those quotes are for the 'Portrait Mode'. 🤦
And that conversation is 3 years old! The 1st phone with ToF is Honor View 20, in 2018, in direct explanation for that particular better Portrait Mode! Its embarassing that you caught by own words & resources. You talking about DSLR, do you even know wether me, Nick & RKM own a DSLR/Mirrorless?
Besides the so called Portrait Mode, ToF are just helps for faster, more accurate AF, nothing more than that.

Tann Hauser, 05 Aug 2021You do realise this is a smartphone camera sensor, not a DS... moreYou just basically explained what this phone (or pretty much what ALL phones) does in portrait mode, congrats. Now would you mind answering these three questions that I've asked you in my previous reply?
1. Do you have any idea how problematic it truly would be to have a bunch of slight blurs on random portions of an image based on the low resolution depth information iToF sensor could capture in regular shooting modes for anyone who is even slightly serious about photography?
2. Do you legitimately believe that Sony is actually stupid enough to include such a feature without including a single toggle in a camera app or any explanation on it whatsoever when it could easily upset many of its users in case they found it out?
3. What would be the point having this feature when the portrait mode already does exactly that while also allowing you to control how much blur is applied?

Tann Hauser, 05 Aug 2021You do realise this is a smartphone camera sensor, not a DS... moreYou missed the point again this time, by miles.
The point of that particular video was to show you that focal plane has nothing to do with sensor's autofocus. He kept the focus (distance) same and reduced the aperture to increase depth of field, which has nothing to do with sensor, only optics. The example was exaggerated to show you as an example.
There's another video which explains focal plane with respect to distance and hyperfocals, but I don't think you can comprehend that. So why bother.

Thing is the stupid hrr handling and low brightness(which is hard to read under direct sunlight) and just ok(ish) color accuracy without going into some colour setting to go into creator mode(which the average person won't even know how to change and default setting accuracy isn't that good). And plus some of these have hdr10 and 10 bit colour too
