Upgrade S5 to S7 - Worth it? 16:9 vs 4:3 camera?

[griffin_1]

Hi,

I currently have a s5 running 6.0.1. It works well, it lags a bit here and there but nothing that gets frustrating but it does have issues with the camera, especially with autofocus and low light. I was thinking of upgrading to the s7 due to the cpu+ram improvement, better fp scanner and better camera, or at least supposedly.

I wanted to know what are your opinions on this upgrade and if its worth and to the ones that did, are you happy with your choice?

Also, i noticed that the s7 camera sensor is 4:3 and the s5 sensor is 16:9, which is the format that i have been using. Im still a photography newbie, but i know that a native 16:9 would a allow me to get more in the picture but i don't know if its so much that will be noticeable. Will i notice a lot of difference?

Thanks!

Personally you won't notice much. Or just use a 9mp 16:9 format on the s7. There's no change in quality anyway.

It's a little zoomed in when you use 16:9 because you're looking out a 4:3 lens so it has to zoom in. I just use the standard 4:3 mode when taking pictures since it gets the most scene in the picture.
