Samsung Galaxy S5 (4k)

Hello readers,
I have had the phone for a day and a half now.
Here are A few interesting pieces of info for you:

• The phone shoots UHD, or Ultra HD (3840×2160) at 29.97 FPS
• The phone shoots HD 1080p (1920×1080) at 29.97 FPS, or 59.94 FPS
• The phone shoots HD 720p (1280×720) at 29.97 FPS, or 59.94 FPS
• The phone shoots SD 480p (640×480) at 29.97 FPS, or 59.94 FPS
 
• HDR Mode is not available when shooting UHD
• Image Stabilization is not available when shooting UHD
• AFS (auto focus) Is available when shooting UHD

The Phone Tends to Overexpose
Shooting in UHD does result in wobbly cmos jello effects when the phone is not stabilized
Recording in UHD Does Drain the battery quickly.
 
That being said, I am very pleased with the video quality.
The image itself is far above and beyond my first camcorder the Canon HG-10.
Scenes shot in macro that have lots of DOF (depth of field) look superb.
Saturation is excellent, Perhaps even a little too strong occasionally.
Fine Detail objects are rendered with fantastic accuracy.
 
I shot all of the samples handheld, exactly the way I would expect the common user to.
I stabilized against objects whenever possible.
The cmos jello effect is prevalent on almost every clip, but I have already seen good results with adobe stabilization software.
