    Every year I take the new iPhone and put it up against my professional daily driver, the Canon R5 in real world situations. I’m a full time landscape photographer who lives in my suv on the road, living and breathing photography and making videos like this one. Last year I was absolutely blown away by the results of the new 48mp images from the iPhone 14pro. Because of that, we’ll be including in this years comparison to see if the new iPhone 15 Pro is a worthy upgrade or not. Lets just say that the answer left me emotional. So sit down, relax, put me on in the background and join me as I take you along to some beautiful spots around Newfoundland and find some great images.

    Apple uses the 90-90 rule with their camera app. They please 90% of the people 90% of the time. Those of us in the 10% range will definitely use a third party camera app so we can control the shutter speed, ISO and white balance. I’d like to see a comparison between the R5 and the 15 Pro Max where you use Reeflex Pro Camera and both cameras shooting RAW. And of course using the 48MP sensor in the 15 Pro Max, therefore it would all be wide angle shots.

    • @DaveEP
      @DaveEP 4 месяца назад +2

      Exactly. Adding a third party app is not expensive, and for anyone thinking you shouldn't need to (or don't want to) do that, well, that's your choice. Presumably you also only shoot JPEG on your fancy camera and don't ever edit in a 3rd party app, like Lightroom! There are so many photo apps for the iPhone that you should not have any trouble finding one that extracts that little bit more than the standard Apple consumer App does. Like you you say, 90% of the time it does a great (amazing) job. For the other 10% I do use Reeflex Pro.

    You may didn't read about it but: iphone 15 pro uses the same main camera sensor that is in iphone 14 pro, imx 803 which is a year old small sensor that uses old tech by Sony. Sony nowadays advertises a brand new family of mobile sensors which is called LYTIA. In fact O neplus 12 will be the 2nd phone to use it this year.
    iphone 15 series only advances are fixing the 14 series image processing issues which are over sharpening and crushing the shadows + new processor and colors.
    Apple is so much about lowering the cost so this is really what they did, a software update, aka smart hdr 5, that could be available to the 14 series via ios 17 to solve its cam issues but they made it the selling point for the iphone 15 series.

      Apple did a good job hiding this in the keynote. They said that the iPhone 15 got a 48MP sensor and the 15 Pro got an even better sensor than the iPhone 15 - but they didn't compare against the 14 Pro as they usually do. So, the iPhone 15 got a 48 MP sensor, but not the one from the iPhone 14 Pro.

    Great video! I'm going on vacation next month and was trying to pack light and bring only one lens, but I was struggling to choose between my 35 or my 24-70. This video made me realize that my smaller, lighter, and faster 35 is the best way to go since I've already got a great zoom on me in the 15 Pro.

    Another banger Alex. I love these comparison videos you do. Looks like the only reason to move to iPhone 15 is the usb c (I think I can manage to carry an extra cable for a while longer and save the AUD$2,050). I think I would print the photo of the people on the ferry. I love that shot. The only thing that I could tell were the hairs on the back of the gentleman's neck - so although I guessed right, I think I could easily haver gone the other way. Oh, and by the way I bought a couple of the maven magnetic filters you did a video on. They are wonderful and I love them - great quality and so easy to use compared to filters I've used in the past.

And if I'm out doing a long hike or riding my bike I won't be lugging the R5 around that's for sure. My iPhone is used when it's most appropriate for me and unless I'm needing to share the photo right away I shoot in raw mode.

    The biggest problem with cell phone cameras is that they are just horrible to hold and to control the settings, not to mention that it is a problem if you get a call when you are composing a shot. There is no doubt that professional cameras can be made smaller, but what is really important for the pro photographers are the grip and the setting controls, and a cell phone is just "anatomically incorrect" for taking photos - or even to make calls. As an amateur photographer, I will continue to use cameras designated for that, and will only use a cell phone when I do not have a proper camera with me, or when only taking snapshots.

      I prefer the old 3X 77mm focal range for portraiture and the 5X being a 120mm equivalent makes that more difficult (you have to be significantly further from your subject for the same framing)... the problem is now the iPhone 15 Pro Max uses the main camera with a digital crop to shoot in the 77mm focal range the quality is significantly worse than the old optical 3X lens on the previous years Pro models. I know its subjective and people wanted more reach... but at what expense?

      Ive always taken images with them before ever getting a camera recently, but i gotta be frank with you. My trouble starts when enlarging the images, even a little bit.
      It always gives me that abhorrent “smushed” look as a results of that tiny sensor. Even before having ever owned a professional camera, i hated it. I want wallpaper worthy, grand images that i zoom a bit into and enjoy, something that looks real even before any editing happens. A camera can give me that. An iphone? Im just not sure if what im seeing is the same image i took. I have no control over what it has done to my image after all.

    great video, felt like a journey. watched it in 1m in front of my 4k screen 😅 the only time i took the "wrong" R9 guess was with the boat people shot: the bokeh looked better on the iphone and you sharpened the r9's noise making it look ugly (maybe should have increase the "masking" slider to 45 or so in "sharpening").
    i was always a samsung user but increasingly jealous of iphone tech lately. my galaxy has had "pro mode" for years now. it's dazzling to learn that one can still not set ISO and shutter speed on iphone. maybe you could include galaxy in the next one for comparison ;)
    oh and i would love phone makers giving us more PRO controls. Like for dialing back oversharpening, noise reduction and other postprocessing.
    Oh and i wondered why you would shoot videos in stuttery 15 fps.

I'm curious if others are using the Samsung for more technical shots. I also got the Pro Grip and Ultra 60mm and 24mm lenses from ShiftCam. I'm having fun playing with those. The simple profile and the handy grip makes for a nice street cam. On another note, I am continually impressed with Newfoundland. I'm adding it to my bucket list. Keep going there.

    Just found your channel, and I love a challenge. I have not watched past 18:36. Here are my thoughts. First, I was not necessarily trying to discern which unit took which shot. I decided to simply pick the images that I thought looked most natural to me as follows:
    For the first set taken in the rock arch, I picked B;
    For the second set taken of the autumn leaves, I picked C;
    For the third set taken of the fjord, I picked B;
    For the fourth set taken of the people on the boat, I picked B;
    For the fifth set taken of the seascape, vertically, I picked C.
    Now, I'm going to watch the end of your presentation and see what is what... I am prepared to be surprised.

      So, I wasn't as surprised as I was prepared to be. It looks like I picked the R5 exclusively. I think the biggest determining factors for me were sharpness (digital sharpening artifacts, and colour). Colour was noticeably poor in the people shot on the iPhone image. Haloing was obvious in the fjord shot, and in most of the other images, edges were simply too hard on the phone images.

I will say that I really had to look hard on some of the images, and I flipped back and forth between pictures quickly, which really showed the differences. Honestly though the Fjord shot, and the people photo were easy. Look at the mountain to sky transition on the Fjord view, and the magenta colour cast on the shoulders of the man in the people picture. The photo that was hardest to sort out was the one of the autumn leaves. They were all very very close.

    Remember, you are looking at both images after going through Google's compression and downsizing. So trying to do real comparisons is off the table.
    Phone cameras can be pretty good at their native focal lengths, but anything special (long telephoto particularly) is strongly limited.
    While the sensor is technically 48MP, the Airy limit due to diffraction on that small lens means you do NOT have a true 48MP image in terms of actual detail. It does, however provide some assistance the the software image processing, so the image LOOKS better than it actually is.
