I'm really conflicted about if I'm going to be shooting in 48MP or 12MP for normal use. Most of my photos are taken of friends in casual settings and used for social media. Many times a good shot requires capturing a number of photos in sequence, with all but one or two discarded.

The local file storage and backup capacity requirements for 48MP are going to get crazy. I may only shoot in 48MP in rare cases when I really want the super quality and normally leave in 12MP mode.

You say that and then you try to zoom in and 48MP instead of 12MP might get you a number plate or a face or a bird identification or whatever. As well as rather a lot of pixels on modern phones, we also have things like review videos attached to photos and they take up space too.

Nowadays we have stupidly large amounts of storage available. I recall my Commodore 64 ...

It all ... depends. Do you want the flexibility to be able zoom in or not? Do you want to long term store your photos or not? If you can't be bothered with storage management and don't need very high resolution then dial it down and off you trot but you do have a choice.

Haven't gotten my hands on it yet but, from the videos I've seen, you're able to turn 48MP right from within the camera app. I've also seen a spot in videos to switch video modes also.

Yeah I wish there was an easy way to automatically delete all but 1 or 2 of the shots from a set. Kind of like how they let you easily discard all but one of a burst.
