Taking still photos - which aspect ratio do you use ?

**BucksBugsy** · 27 Feb 18, 11:13 AM

Hi - I'm going to be using my Samsung note 8 to be taking a lot of photos in Florida and was wondering - if you have the choice - whether you shoot stills in 4x3 or 16x9 ?

I will be viewing my photos on ...

16x9 tv's
Photo frames (which I believe are 16x9)

Putting some in photo books

What ratio would you use ?

Shoot in 4x3 or largest resolution then it will allow you to crop

Thank you

I had assumed the 16x9 resolution would be higher buy it isn't. Good point thank you

I used my Pixel XL and was amazed with the picture quality. Also, my phone was always there and easy to use. Also free roaming on my EE plan. So i could whatsApp family

I got my Note 8 purely becauae of its camera and it hasn't disappointed me. Ok it probably doesn't have the DSLR for picture quality but it's pretty good and I always have it with me. One of my more sensible purchases !

Totally agree. Use the full sensor and crop.
