Anyone else disappointed by the camera?

Hello!
Been playing with the camera today. I'm not... Very impressed... Im coming from a iPhone 6. You can shoot in tiff(raw) on the iPhone. Shooting raw at base iso still seems to be heavily processed. When I import the image into snap seed is says it's a raw file. But using es file Explorer says it's a jpeg when looking at the picture in its folder.

As of right now. I'd rate the 8mp raw files from the iPhone superior to the ones of the s7. Far superior.
I've tried lightroom , Snapseed and photo director.
I haven't downloaded camera fv-5 yet. So that's another option I guess.

I just cannot seem to locate the raw files.... Or the camera is not producing raw files.

Regardless... Zooming in 50% is a muddy mess. This is shooting at base iso (50) and 1/90th a second shutter speed in raw.

Tell me what you think...

Yes I am shooting in pro mode with raw checked. It was shot sitting against something with zero movement.

Anyone?

Alright here is the difference between light room and snap seed raw files.
I am now using camera fv-5. Well worth it.

 

[combatmedic870]

The better one is from light room.

so you sorted out the problem?

 

[combatmedic870]

Yeah I guess so. I guess the oem camera app isn't shooting in raw or something.

I don't like.how if I want wide-screen pics i.have to resort to 9 megapixels. 12 is 4x3

is that something that we'd be able to change once root comes out or not?

No it's the physical camera sensor orientation. I'll mention that most other phones are 4:3 like the S7, not 16:9 like previous Samsung phones

So, what's the best camera app, light room or camera fv-5?

 

[combatmedic870]

Light room for processing. Camera fv-5 for taking raw pictures.
This is all strictly for raw pictures.

I own both the iPhone 6S and the Samsung Galaxy S7, NO comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is the much better camera.

In regards to s7 png files vs iPhone tiff files?
I'm not on here starting a vs thread. Something was just up with the raw files. I was not satisfied with the S7 raw files.
I still can't locate them from the stock app. Light room also never found them. Using Camera fv-5 light room finds the png raw files.
Indeed the raw files are very nice.
I dont really care about jpeg for casual shooting. They are fine. It's a cell phone. But if i go hiking and I forgot my Camera. I wanted to know what the camera on the S7 was capable of. I have now found what resulted in the most detail and sharpness. I was at first disappointed. Especially using the stock app. I am now satisfied with the results.

You know that even after using pro, you have to go into settings of camera and turn on save raw copy. Then it creates two files a jpeg and a dog file which you can the proccess just like fv-5 cam.

Yes. As I said in the end of the OP. I had everything checked. You have to recheck it every time you go into pro mode. It doesnt stick. I have yet to find the raw file from the Samsung Camera. Fv-5 produces 2 files. One raw and one jpeg.

As you can see in the pics below once that option is turned on on my phone it always stays on, and then it makes a double on jpeg and one dng.

 

[combatmedic870]

Mine does not stay on. Close the app in recents, reopen it and go to pro mode and tell me if it is still checked.. Mines not. So it would be good to know.
Also... Like I said I can't find the png. It's no biggie now. I'll just use fv-5.

It stays even after reboots.
