Yeah but a lot of smartphones try to 'overcompensate' and would kill all the lovely natural tones and textures on these shots. Only iPhones and high end Samsung get it right most times.

Beautiful photos. Happy travels!!!

That's true! It's a whole different skill to get the smart devices to do what you actually want them to do rather than what they have a mind of their own to do. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Just made it to Sweden so thanks for the well wishes! =)

Wow it's been ages since I've used a point and shoot, never would have thought these images came from a point and shoot 👌🏼

It's ironic that i prefer my point and shoot with only 8mp except it now has a scratch on the lens... so it's no longer as good as the Nikkon i mentioned. The Nikkon acts like what VeeArt said above! Thanks for taking the time to comment! =)

Nikkon CoolPix S4300

One of my cameras was a similar model - it made good pictures, but worked best only in good daylight. Got a Samsung cellphone (40 MP), but can't compare the quality to a 'real' camera. One of the cameras I like is also my oldest, Samsung Pro 815, just 8,5 MP, but the difference is a superior lens. The regular jpg comes out at 72dpi, but blow it up to 300dpi in Photoshop, it is still great with sharp details. Maybe it has something to do with it being capable of shooting RAW.

That's a great point. I didn't consider the RAW shooting keeping the resolution true to life. I bet that is what makes a difference when you get better shots with lower pixel rates. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and check out some of my stuff. I always say better late than never! hahaha
