The photo preview on the Galaxy S23 Ultra is bright and detailed, even accurately showing the fish and scuba diver in the water behind her. Next, a woman takes selfies in an underwater tunnel at an aquarium. Next, the woman holding the device contentedly observes the photo that was taken along with a friend. The shot is as bright and detailed as the actual scene. The shot zooms out to show the photo on the display of Galaxy S23 Ultra. The shot is quickly interrupted by a camera shutter as a photo is taken.

The woman in center frame is holding Galaxy S23 Ultra in Green. At a birthday party in a darkened room, a crowd holds up their smartphones to take a picture of an off-camera subject. This means existing Canon users could add the A7R II to their camera arsenal, or (gasp!) move over to Sony entirely.Galaxy S23 Ultra: Official Film Play button Perhaps the most talked-about spec is the ability to autofocus certain Canon lenses, using an adapter. The camera also has 5-axis image stabilization (compensating shakes when handholding the camera, especially in low-light situations) and pro-level 4K movie capture, just to name a few of the many features. But the A7R II is also adept at low-light photography, and we had good results up to ISO 64,000 the camera can reach as high as 102,400, which most users will rarely go up to, but, hey, it’s there if you need it. The photos we shot with this camera certainly back up the claim.

What’s unique is that it’s the world’s first back-illuminated full-frame sensor, which is designed to gather more light and, therefore, produce sharper images with more detail. Let’s start with the 42.4-megapixel full-frame sensor it isn’t the highest you can find (that honor goes to Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R), but it’s close. Version after version, Sony continues to churn out impressive shooters in its A7-series of mirrorless full-frame cameras, but the A7R II, and the technology that Sony managed to cram inside the compact (for a full-frame camera, that is) body, deserves recognition and respect. We knew, when we first put this camera up to our eye, that it’d be our camera of the year.
