Has anyone tested how well the camera performs when taking shots of moving objects? In my experience, every single android phone (including S6) has been poor when taking shots of moving objects like infants/toddlers indoors. Whereas the iphone does much better under this scenario. Can the S7 compete with iphone when it comes to shooting moving objects in less than ideal lighting?

I went to a BestBuy this weekend with my girlfriend and had her take a picture of me walking past her (At normal walking pace) on the other side of the demo table. Picture came out crisp and clear. Looked like I wasn't moving. No blur at all. Haven't compared to iPhone but I've seen from videos that the S7 auto focus is much faster. Was also able to tap the camera button quickly without lag.

Even better, my wife was highly impressed when she snapped a photo of our always active kids when we were at the Samsung Experience store and the photos came out perfect!! No motion blur. The kids were in focus and clear =)

If you're indoors in a dimly lit room, it's going to have some blur. Even DSLR's have trouble here as you need a wide aperture and a high ISO to capture moving objects in low light. From the samples though, it looks promising.

Hard to give his true mind or negative opinion when "fanboy kikoo lol" report us as troll and make us censored by moderator... but i can try...
I don't had a problem with s6 to have my subjects totally crips (but im using very rarely the basic photo app)... so i don't understand really this.

I have more problems with the pic posted by razball...

S7 camera is essentially what the 6P would have been had it had OIS. Big mistake by Google to omit such an important camera feature.
I haven't personally tried the 6P camera, but it seems to suffer from the same problem of shooting moving objects/kids indoors:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3scwc8/nexus_6p_rear_camera_focus/ It's unfortunate, but the iPhone is on another level when taking shots like this (any wife/mom with an iPhone will say the same), which is why I'm wondering if the S7/Edge and it's Dual Pixel auto focus can finally match Apple for these types of shots.

The s7 takes great photos but for some scenarios i use my g5 but when taking Taekwondo pictures in the dojang i use the s7 if i don't have my camera like all phones they perform best under ideal conditions
