    Note 4 has better saturation than the Nikon P600 Superzoom

    I was comparing shots of my living room shot without flash with the Note 4 & Nikon P600 superzoom and found that the color saturation & detail was clearly better with the Note 4. I was surprised. That Nikon was the best superzoom on the market in 2014 when the Note 4 came out. The Nikon...

    Two exceptions... the vibration is kind of weak. I wish it was longer and a bit harder. Like it is when you swipe down to "unmute" it. The other, is Samsung refuses to sell their bands separate. I'd like to get that wine red band, but it is only sold with the whole watch. :mad:
