General Working GCAM for S23 Ultra

Yes. You can still take moving shots with v53, it's just that you might notice more artifacts when you zoom in
The fallacy of many (most?) X vs Y comparisons is that they are done in good light under easy conditions. The images below are shot back to back with LMC JavaSabr v53 vs AGC near stock (sharpening lowered a tiny amount). I would be curious if a anyone can reliably tell them apart without looking at the EXIF. I personally can only see slight difference and only if I zoom in as far as the phone let's me do it (hint - handling of the deep shadows is where the difference shows up). If presented with a blind test without hints I would find it very difficult telling them apart. Harsh contrasts or poor lighting is where differences should be benchmarked.

well, yeah, you're not going to see much difference on a phone size screen ....to judge photos realistically you need to look at them on a large screen.
as for the ones you posted i can tell the difference instantly without checking from the difference in light and noise ...they each have their own characteristics
I'll play the game! Actually can't say which is which but I'll say which one I prefer.
17 vs 8: pretty equal though I wonder about 17 looking more reddish. Not sure which is more natural but I feel 8 is. And 8 also exposes shadows better. So I'll pick 8!
15 vs 5: this one I prefer 15 for the bigger contrast with darker shadows. 5 looks too HDR. Also 15 seems to have a more natural blue color in the sky.
6 vs 30: draw
3 vs 20: draw
In all cases, I'd be happy with either output in these cases. Those are mostly the same style of shots though so I'd be interesting to compare, even in daylight, with a more diverse set of pictures. I like blind games
Also, dont know about others, but I mostly only shoot in daylight and never cared much for night shots so if others are like me that might also be why you see more of those comparison?
for the heck of it ...i'd be surprised if i'm wrong

Install one Gcam as ruler and the other as scan3d
I must say I am humbled by @tmzbeme's ability to distinguish one from the other. My own eyes are like @PhilMorin's - mostly a tossup
LMC 32, 26, 27, 29, 30, 17, 20, 15, 2
AGC 12, 10, 11, 7, 6, 8, 3, 5, 9
What about V3 ? Looked interesting.
Very good quality till now, also in the night on street. With people in suboptimal situation HDR+ your V2 was a little overexposed.
Maybe it's gcam generally, stock was much better in situation.

I have looked but could not find : does anyone know if there is a Gcam port for the S23 plus ?
If yes, can you please point me in the right direction ?
Thanks !

Have updated the new test version:

Working GCAM for S23 Ultra
Or where can i try and experiment some version? I haven't dealt with gcam in the last years, so I'm bit out dated EDIT: I RECOMMEND FOLLOWING THIS POST TO INSTALL PROPER GCAM Post in thread 'Working GCAM for S23 Ultra'...

7Forgot to upload my last config:
6
It's already presented in my last test release in my TG group, when the release well be stable, I will post it here@JavaSabr is it possible to release a third config option? One that has a little more sharpness applied. Thanks!

UI description:
1. Google Auto White Balance toggle - alternative colors correction
2. Expo toggle - makes images a little bit brighter
3. LDR toggle - makes images more contrast with more deep shadows
4. Sport lense - optimized x1 lense for shooting dynamic objects (especially in HDRe mode)

12Some sample from my recent trip.
Probably is not the best photo quality on the market, but using the Gcam overall I'm very satisfied of the incredibile versatility.
Plus the device is all around the best you can find.
I did many test gcam 12mpx vs stock 50mpx and 200mpx, and i can say that most of the time high res stock is useless. Details are similar or even better with gcam at 12mpx.
