I like one item that replaces many which the cell phone does. One item required is a decent camera and the S5 takes some incredible pictures for a cell phone
Yes, the S5 takes incredible pictures for a cell phone, which is the same as to say that a child's to spade does an incredible amount of work for a dump truck. Seriously, you do not need to compare the S5 with a DSLR for it to be bad. The majority of brand-name point and shoots (as for example the Canon S100 series) are going to blow your S5 out of the water, and they are not hefty or unwieldy.
Way too much conversation for this thread
My first reply was short, true in all ways and to the point -as intended. Being in agreement, and an example to validify the nod to the OP's post. Nothing more was needed, it was all covered in two sentences.
This reply of yours now -out of the ball park...
Let me break it down. I've always used a SLR camera. One time taking a photography class in high school. I took from it that photo quality meant a lot, but not a holy grail, position, timing and other (unforseen) variables play into a really good picture, all of these are used with great success if one is taking another's portrait.
I haven't used a camera before my first cell phone camera for a long span of time, I'm not even sure at the moment if film is still available for it, just your normal 35mm type.
Just today I took another very useful (and quick) photo with my cell phone, I needed a model number but couldn't get to it to read, using a mirror I took a picture of the decal that would tell me all I needed, put it into photoshop flipping it vertically to be able to read. Not only helpful but I only needed a mirror, not a photo studio, my positioning made being as light as possible helpful as well. This possible and not a second thought about it, cause the cell phone camera was with me at the time and only took one photo to capture what I needed; at all times able to take a phone call without it being an inconvenience in any way.
Working parts counters before I'm helping both of us out when I go someplace saying I need this and show a picture of the item. A lot of unsaid questions are answered that way.
There is no argument here, only a nod to the OP. I have no use for a camera no matter the type at this time. Having access to a cell phone camera almost 100% of the time, well I can't stress enough how damn handy it's been for me, and it comes with a phone, a calender, database, or stuff I'll have access to even if I don't need it now.
The examples I could give could take all night; like nobody giving me a second look while I'm taking photos of pages in a shop manual while at the library. Cheap (no Xerox machine), and handy as they (reference books) can't be checked out.
I was very much into photography
If you were, you were not into quality images. If you were, you'd hate your S5 in almost every single way except its portability. Image quality is mediocre at best, features are non-existing (RAW please?), the chip is so tiny it is almost impossible to take pictures with narrow depth of field (pictures of people in general requires narrow depth of field) and to get them you'd have to go close, exposing the extreme wide-angle of your phone camera and the associated distortions.
I use my Canon S100 for ultra-portability, I use my Panasonic-GX7 for portability (both fits in a pocket) and the ability to use interchangeable lenses. For video and good portability I carry the Panasonic GH4, but when quality is important I bring out the Canon DSLR every time.
