note 4 vs note 7 camera and also waterproof question

how is the camera on the note 7 compared to the note 4 camera? has the quality improved at all? that's the big decider for me right now on whether i should upgrade or not.

also how good is the waterproofing? i have a waterproof case for my note 4 that i take with me when i go swimming so that my phone doesn't get stolen, if i could take this in the water with me without having to bring a thick case that'd be fantastic
 
The camera on the Note 7 is far better than on the Note 4. Many improvements. It is the same camera from the S7 edge but with better software. This is thought to be by most the best camera on a mobile phone currently.

I have not tested the waterproofing, but all the online tests show it to be very much waterproof. This is another reason I am very pleased with the N7 as all my other Note devices I had to put into a waterproof container if I was doing something like white water rafting, snorkeling, etc.
 
I held my phone about 6 inches from my knee and was able to capture, clearly, the hairs and follicles on my skin. it's freaking ridiculous how clean it is. I also tested the "selective focus" feature and was quite surprised and how quickly it transitioned. color me impressed!
 
In terms of picture quality, the dynamic range is amazing and noise performance in low light is great! Photos compared to my professional dSLR set-up, of course, is still a far comparison ;) (D810, 85 f/1.4G and various gold ring lenses)
