Has anyone else installed a Gcam port on their s25u?

I wasnt that blown away by the samsung processing, ive followed all the guru s25ulra setup instructions. I prefer our apple 16pro, not sure what it is. Not to say the galaxy is bad, but I think once you get into the pro and expert raw modes and getting those set up well things become a lot better after a bit of effort, but the apple is better for just pressing a button and getting a great shot type thing.

So ive installed a gcam port, Im not sure what I should try shooting to compare the standard galaxy app to the gcam.

What are the issues that concern you using the camera app? I was using Expert Raw off and on, but the photos using the standard camera seem to have improved during last year to the point where I hardly ever use it. There are a few setup tweaks that can help also.

I was a geek before the word was invented!

The way it cannot handle movement is a big issue. Try taking a photo of a moving cat or kid in anything less than perfect daylight and it cannot do it clearly.

How are you guys updating this component?

Never mind. Annoying it's a manual process. I went from August to Jan.
