Galaxy S6 (Samsung ISOCELL only) Camera Thread - Galaxy S6 General

Since some people claim that the ISOCELL performs better than/worse than/same as the Sony IMX240, I thought we could start a brand new thread for owners of the Galaxy S6/S6 edge with the ISOCELL sensor.
To test if you have the ISOCELL sensor, simply go to the dialpad and type the following: *#34971539# , then click ISP VER CHECK. If it shows SONY IMX240 for the Rear camera, then you have the Sony sensor. If it shows SLSI for both Rear and Front camera, then you have the Samsung ISOCELL sensor. Alternatively, take a photo and upload it to your computer. View the EXIF data and under 'Image ID', if it starts with A16LSIC, you have the Sony sensor, and it if starts with A16LLIC, you have the Samsung ISOCELL sensor.
Anyway, only post photos here if: (1) it's taken with a S6/S6 edge with ISOCELL sensor; or (2) you have both ISOCELL and IMX240 and want to do a side-by-side comparison.
I have created a Flickr group here, so if you use Flickr, we can see at a glance all shots taken with the ISOCELL version of the S6/S6 edge.
To get the ball rolling, here are some of my pictures snapped with an ISOCELL.

Wizard 2Mega Pixel? camera

In the manual of the wizard in the camera specifications it says this
CMOS 1.3 mega Pixel with fixed lens
Or CMOS 2.1 mega Pixel with macro lens
does that mean that some wizards come with 2 MP or that by changing the lens to macro it achieves higer resolution.
Cheers everyone

Galaxy Note 4 Rear Camera Specifications

Hey All,
Been trying to find detailed specs of main camera as Samsung only said it has OIS in their keynote. Lol.
Please help by posting max iso, aperture, f. Sensor size etc.
My Z2 overheating issues is starting to bug me so looking to go back to note line after note 3 camera sucked! Hoping Note 4 is better than S5.

It's a 4.8mm lens with f/2.2 aperture, OIS, 16 MP camera. I based these specs on the exif data of a sample picture. Samsung has not confirmed anything about the sensor, although it is suspected that it is by Sony. Not much more is known at this time.

get photo make with help Note4, then PUMa - Tools - Camera with this photo and have information about module & sensor
It uses Sony imx240 sensor afaik
Why are samsung not releasing info?
Thanks for all comments but this is weird English - The Galaxy Note 4 comes with a 16MP 1/2.6” size sensor with f2.0 aperture lens. This is not the same module as on the Galaxy S5 though. Did they mean it is the same module?

The aperture is wrong in that article. There are sample photographs out there you can download and then examine the exif data. That will confirm that the aperture is f/2.2 and the lens is 4.8mm. Exactly as Galaxy S5.

Thought as much. That's the reason samsung didn't release info as they knew they would be hammered grouping some camera tech!
Not asking much just a decent spec camera? At least S5 takes good pics in general just same Sammy low light fail (indoor)

The Note 4 may do better in low light however if they have incorporated a Sony sensor. OIS should help as well. There are other things that could be different too like ISO, and shutter speed, So I am curious to see how this thing will do in low light.

Well it was believed to be the Sony sensor. However the Lenovo Vibe Z2 released with a 16MP OIS Samsung made ISOCELL camera sensor leads to believe Samsung used their own ISOCELL sensor in the Note 4.
And released samples show a lot of improvement in low light compared to past Samsung devices. Even the S5.
And the OIS video test compared to the S5 makes an immediate huge difference. And the S5's video without OIS was already outstanding. So the detail or better of the S5 with OIS to clear up more detail and stabilize it.

On the german Samsung-Site it looks like the rear camera will have only f/2.4 aperture

I thought it was already confirmed to be a Sony IMX240 sensor?
Sammobile is usually on point - can't post links yet, but google "Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Camera Features – 16MP, Side Touch, Wide Selfie, and much more." See below for quote.
According to our sources, Samsung is equipping the Galaxy Note 4 with a 16-megapixel Sony IMX240 camera sensor on the back with optical image stabilization (OIS), which is capable of shooting UHD (3840×2160) video at 30FPS. This isn’t the first time Samsung is using the IMX240 camera sensor - Samsung has used the exact same sensor in the Korean Galaxy S5 Broadband LTE-A (SM-G906S/L/K), however it lacked optical image stabilization (OIS)

Photo thread - show us your photos

Xiaomi redmi note 3 (pro) doesn't have the greatest sensor out there, but it is capable of making good shots, so let's share them.
Here are few of mine:
