The iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max are here. There have been some solid updates to the cameras this year but I have a few thoughts. Are you going to update or switch to the 15 Pro / Pro Max?
Thanks to all involved:

I can't lie the iPhone is exceptional with portrait photography, unfortunately I'm more of a landscape/street Mobile photographer. Dope vid really shows the capabilities.
Same real estate and street... would like to get my hands on a Xiaomi 13 with the Leica lenses and coatings
@@panacheautomotive4298try the latest oppo find x6 pro. Its great for pro looking images with the hasselblad lense. Also sony xperia 1v is great
Bro I just saw the oppo find n3 flip portrait... It's amazing also
Such a great video! Can’t wait to test out my iPhone 😭
❤️
Looking forward to the video on the video capabilities! You made some great shots with the iPhone more proof that it's more about the skill of the photographer than the tool the photographer uses. I'm going to skip this as an iPhone 13 user but maybe next year for me to update....unless that log video is worth it. I will check it out for sure.
Please please please please I beg I beg I beg, will you make a short film with the 15? If it’s even a 1 or 2 minute, I’m telling you so many of us are waiting for this🤍🤍🤍
I was waiting for your video... specially professional camera comparison.
Amazing shots !
Nice video man. Keep ‘em coming!👍🏽💯
🙏🏼
This was all fabulous! Great job to you and your team
🫶🏼
As always Lee shooting anything looks great :) - btw. this "lens" 24, 28, 35 is far more sophisticated technique than just crop and gives still full 24mp image, as far as I know. For the Speck I have to admit, this grip cases are one of my personal best, just after MouS Limitless.
You get can still get the 24mp image and theres some computational stuff going on. Im sure it's better or close to just cropping the image yourself. But I look at this as convince more than anything. I just hate the marking around it lol
Yep, marketing is just Apple way of selling things ;) they spend on marketing much more than research :) @@LeeZavitz
@@LeeZavitz Definitely bad marketing. Like MrWhoseTheBoss says, following the principles that Apple is saying, why stop with 7 lenses? It's a 48MP sensor, right? You could have *infinite* lenses. 👀
Yep, this is feature, even Galaxy S23U (200MP) shoots 12MP mode and just crop it. It will get update similar to iphone though
@@Muhammed.Yaseen Mrwhosetheboss is a joke and his content is for kids. There isnt a person out there that believes the iPhone has 7 physical lenses. Tech community lives on another planet.
Look at that bokeh roll off 2:11. It goes from foreground to background perfectly. That bled is seamless
Love your videos bro, pls a comparison with 14 pro and S23 ultra 🙏
Every year, I wait on Lee's take on iPhone's cameras. It's so refreshing after hearing all these useless specs recitations from most other RUclipsrs, often even the photographers. Being a photographer myself, I am torn between wanting to try the 5x on the Max and maybe more everyday useful 3x on the Pro.
🙏🏼 I think the 3x is more useful, but when the 5x camera nails the shot it’s nice natural bokeh
@@LeeZavitz thanks! I also saw some really good video footage taken on the 15PM's 5x, seems substantially better quality and much more bokeh than the 3x (not only the focal length helping, but seems like actual lens quality being better too, but I can't vouch for it yet). Cheers!
The key is when it works!
Looking forward to the video review.
Amazing video 😍😍
Fantastic Camera ❤❤
Love the fact you can change it to portrait mode after the fact.....I never use portrait mode now for that reason, scared to commit incase it doesn't turn out the way I want it to lol. one the ultra wide too, seems fun to play around with!
cant wait for the portrait mode vidoe
Working on that later this week!
Was waiting for this for so long😂
The phone only came out 3 days ago! I couldn’t have made this any faster lol
Nice! Looks pretty good. So can you shoot the 48 megapixel RAW photos and then make them portrait shots after?
Good job!
I don't usually use the log because I don't have so much knowledge of color grading, but if I'm not mistaken with the 14 pro and Filmic pro it can also be recorded in log, I usually use Final Cut Pro on iPad for editing and it doesn't have as many options as a computer program for color editing. But I'm thinking of buying the Da vinci for iPad and learning color grading, although I think it's quite complicated. I would need some lessons 😅
It's always a pleasure watching you shoot, Lee :)! The iPhone 14 Pro introduced the ability to capture 48 MP HEIFs with iOS 17. Given that the camera hardware is consistent between the 14 Pro and 15 Pro but they have different CPUs, do you think there's an improvement in detail this year?
Not to the naked eye. My buddy has the 14 pro max and did a few comparisons they are pretty similar. I think the stabilization has gotten better for video though. I can’t believe how good it looks
@@LeeZavitzI saw a demo of action mode on the 5x looked insane
Great review. For the 5x optical switching to the main camera, have you tested minimum focus distance? Curious to see if the 5x switches to the main camera close up. Will test when mine arrives.
That seems to be the issue here. I wish it would just let me see it out of focus so I know to back up. I guess I was literally at the edge of min focus for these shots and that’s why some were perfect and the other was a digital zoom from the 1x camera. It does the same thing if you are on the main camera and get close it will switch or the .5x camera. But I feel like that is more obvious
I was on your channel and waiting for this video
haha amazing. Its up!
Even on the Samsung it does it. My trick is to force it by covering the other lens and clicking 10x so it’s force to use the lens
A video with the 15 Pro Max & Moment T-Series Lenses 🙏🏽🙏🏽 would love to see it
Dude - was about to cop the a6700 but thinking the 15 and ProRes Log may be the move for hybrid enthusiasts not making money. 🎉
Definitely is if you can get a carrier to front the cost and Pay over time. Also there’s after market lenses that attach to cameras check out Moment and their T series lenses.
The shot at 7:21!! 🔥
6:55 It's not a glitch. It switches to the 1x camera when you're too close for the 5x to work. You have to step back, that's all.
I saw that too. But I wasnt that close and I was in the same spot and didnt move for 4-5 shots. I even saw it do it with video as well. The video 5x quality looked horrible in some stuff I shot so I left it out of this.
This is true. In my experience, I've found that the 5x lens minimum focus distance is about 36-40 inches (sucks!) and the phone will automatically switch to the main sensor and crop the image to emulate the 5X zoom. As long as your subject is within the 36-40 inch range, the phone will keep on switching, ruining your shots. I wish Apple would let you toggle that behavior off as they do with the Macro.
@@Farostegui The minimum focus distance is greater - 1,35 meter or 4.5 feet.
You're too close if it keeps switching back and forth. The Pixel 7 Pro does the same thing. @@LeeZavitz
I think I can stick with the 13 Promax for Photos, but man, the video on 15 is fire!
Can you try out the Pixel with a customised GCam? Pretty sure it has more detail than even the 24MP iPhone shots.
The only camera review, I desperately wait
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching ❤️
Great video tho and as usual.
I know from previous videos/comments that you usually prefer small phones. Would you go that time for the iPhone 15 Pro or for the iPhone 15 Pro Max while the only main difference is the 5x optical zoom (bigger screen and bigger battery indeed)? Also other reviews are stating that between 2x and 4x zoom, the iPhone 15 pro is better as it has a 3x optical zoom which is lacking on the 15 Pro Max….
The iPhone 15 pro is what I prefer 3x is more useful in day to day. 5x is nice if you do a lot of zooming but for me personally I use the ultra wide more haha
Have you tried photographing pets? Would this or s23u be better for taking pics of dogs or cats especially in motion?
Going from the 11 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max is going to be awesome 😎
Huge update!
@@LeeZavitz especially using USB-C to record video and move my files without using airdrop.
Amazing video! Which one are you planning to rock daily? Pro or Pro Max?
Pro for me. The pro max is too big. Honestly if they still made the mini iPhone that’s what I would be using lol
I've noticed a BIG upgrade on these new cameras compared to the 14 pros. Im sure you can notice since you are a very good professional photographer. But finally Apple has tamed that "over-sharpened" look. Well more specifically on the 24mp mode and especially on the 48mp heif mode. Thats all i've wanted ever since the introduction of Smart HDR on iPhone XS. It's a really big deal. I also encourage you to do a night mode test on this new iPhone. From what i've seen, it can rival the Pixel easily now even though it doesn't have an astrophotography mode. BTW I still hate ProRAW since it adds noise reduction so now thats the next thing I'm waiting for Apple to improve on. They'll take another 5 years to get some more common sense. Also it's a shame that this iPhone 15 series is the most fragile iPhone they've ever made. I hate putting a case on my phones but its required on the new fragile iPhone 15
As a professional photographer do you prefer the iPhone 15 over the xperia 1 V?
Id like to start getting into photography and I need a new phone anyway so I was thinking about buying the xperia 1 V but the opinions about the camera quality are really divided. Also, should I maybe wait for the pixel 8 pro?
Finally this video and what is your opinion about the 5x I prefer the portrait on the s23 ultra you have to make a video comparing both phones please
So hard to make that comparison because they have such drastically different camera systems. iPhone would have to digital zoom on both cameras to match Samsung. The s23u still has the better camera system imo
@LeeZavitz yeah including the portrait mode but I try to get the iPhone and use for a segundary phone I have the s22 ultra known waiting for the s24 or maybe the s23 ultra
You said iphone 13 pro at 4:57 instead of 15 but other than that solid video ! How long have you been shooting? Been watching your vids for a few yrs now.
I said iPhone 13 Pro because that’s when they added ProRes video. Not a mistake. Thanks for watching
I tried a whole bunch of Android smartphones this year hoping to find something that would make me switch back to Android, even though I am 100% in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Mac mini, iPad).
The only one I found that could replace my iPhone is the Pixel 8 Pro. I didn’t encounter the same issues I usually find with Android smartphones. The voice command works perfectly (unlike other Android devices where, for some reason, I can never get the voice command to work on the Gboard keyboard). Additionally, when setting up a new phone, you can have an exact copy of your old Pixel, just like you can with a new iPhone.
This isn’t the case with Samsung, etc., where you end up having to put all the apps back into folders yourself, reorganize everything, etc.
In the end, I found that the photo and video quality were not as good as on the iPhone, so I kept my iPhone 15 Pro Max and returned the Pixel. However, I’m still looking forward to seeing the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I would be very happy to see Google reclaim its crown as the king of photography.
They have the resources and talent; I don’t know what’s missing for them to achieve it.
Having a disability, voice command allows me to write very quickly without exhausting myself, so it’s indispensable for me. Additionally, I don’t understand why, when copying data from an old Android smartphone to a new one, you don’t get an exact copy of what you had on the old one. You have to reorganize everything, redo your folders from scratch, etc. This is a basic feature, and Android is advanced enough to have this functionality. I will never understand this.
It would be awesome if you did a studio shoot again with controlled lighting!
Yeah I will probably do that when it gets colder here. I want to show the new tethering to capture one. It’s pretty cool
Lee! Do you prefer the images from the iPhone or the S23?
Still wanna see the 15 pro
You have to be at least 1.5m away from the subject to use the 5x, otherwise it uses the main sensor
@leezavitz great video, I’m curious what GB memory size did you get for your iPhone 15?
I got 256gb
It switches to the main camera while selecting x5 when it doesn’t meet the minimal focusing distance
Annoying. Let me see it out of focus so I can back up. You can’t tell when you are shooting the photo till after it’s taken
green & yellow
Hello, I always watch your wonderful videos. Can you take a video of the regular Pixel 7 phone? I want to buy it, but I am hesitant.
But the pixel 8 comes out in like a week. Hold off till you see what it’s about
@@LeeZavitz Well, I will wait for a video of your opinion on the Pixel 8
🔥🔥🔥
2:07 does the conversion to portrait mode from a regular photo only happen if the original photo was taken with live mode ON?
Awaiting ur pixel 8 pro content
There won’t be a pixel 8 pro content unless someone buys me one. Google didn’t like that I criticized the pixel 7 pro portrait mode and they cut me out of team pixel so I didn’t get one. I ran a community pole and it seems people aren’t as interested in a video.
Can you please do another one against the s23 ultra (outdoors)
Do you think the upcoming pixel 8 pro will have better images through it's 5x telephoto lens since it's going to be a 48MP setup instead of 12MP with 15 pro max ? I think apple has released a pro max model without a 3x lens because next year they might be planning an ultra model with quad camera setup having both 3x and 5x. apple likes to create this segments and divide it's customers.
Having 3x and 5x would be awesome. I’m sure a 48mp 5x from google will look better. But probably not portrait mode (they have really missed the mark on portrait mode since pixel 6)
One more video with 15 pro max
Will there be a Photo comparison with the s23 ultra, especially the portrait mode ?
It’s an awkward comparison and I don’t know how to go about it because of the camera systems. Especially on the telephoto side. To match S23u 3x Apple has to digital zoom using 1x camera. To match s23u 10x Apple has to digital zoom 5x using the 5x camera. The only things you can truly compare is the main camera. So I don’t know. If anything it’s easier to compare to pixel 7 pro because of same focal lengths. Plus Samsung will release something new in 5 months lol.
@@LeeZavitz that's true and with the rumours of Samsung adding a 5x telephoto, it will make an easy comparison
Make a video on iphone 15 vs pixel 8
Can I do a 20x30 print out of that sensor??
thank
Do you think that the 3x lens is still worth it, I'm planning on getting the 6.1'' 15 Pro
I would rather have 3x
It's not a Software glitch. You were just too close for 5x zoom. Instead of snapping blurry pictures, apple decided for you what would be best (digital zooming).
Personally, I hate that about apple.
It’s just weird that 1 out of ever 4-5 shots was this way. They weren’t all 1x digital zoom. It’s doing what the 1x lens does when it’s too close and switches to the ultra wide camera digital zoomed to 1x. Super annoying. Let me see it out of focus so I know to back up because you can’t even tell till the photo is taken and zoom in
@LeeZavitz It's very unintuitive plus there is zero feedback from apples camera software until you check the photo information... super weird indeed.
Imo, the 1x camera is and will always be the best choice no matter the pro model - ofcourse 0.5 is super fun.
Enjoyed your photos, thank you for your video btw.
Adilia.🤩
She was so unimpressed by the auto-portrait thing hahaha
Totally don’t have that “shot on a phone” look
I for the first time this week got my hands on one of the iphone 14 pro, proraw images at 48mp. IDK why but it seems like apple completely bakes the denoising into the raw dng and it looks awful. I wish these companies would stop trying to remove all visible noise from the image. Some sensor noise is not a BAD thing. Pixel seems to still keep the noise which is nice in their raws. But their jpgs and iphone's for that matter, over do the reduction.
Yeah when I edit stuff from pro raw I add abit of grain back into it to feel more organic and it looks great
@@LeeZavitz Noise is one thing and grain is another thing. The grain is nice, like film. The noise don't.
Better than a real Camera ?
Let's compare the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a professional mirrorless camera! Maybe A7R V ? :D
Hello, I have a question.
Is it necessary to buy iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max only because Pro models can shoot ProRaw 48mp?
IPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are very expensive, but this year regular models also have 48mp. Now my question.
My question is about RAW, not about telephoto 5x zoom, I know on regular models there is no 5x zoom. Will you recommend buying a regular model saving money by buying a third-party pro camera app and shooting Raw pictures?
You can shoot raw on third party app. But it won’t be ProRaw which is what is so special about the pro model phones. ProRaw will give you similar dynamic range to a real camera where a third party app shooting raw will just give you raw data off the sensor and doesn’t look anywhere close to as good as ProRaw
@@LeeZavitz by the way thanks for everything, your reviews are the best also thanks for responding each time. Nowadays a lot of RUclipsrs ask for likes and subscribe but when they get famous with the help of subscribers they forget that and do not respond at all to people
Voilà !
Ok so which camera do you feel did a better job the 15 Pro max or the pixel 7pro?
Both are good. iPhone destroys pixel 7 pro at portrait mode and video. But outside of that they are both good
@@LeeZavitz wow sheesh I didn't expect that, well besides the video. iPhone does a good job in that department. Thanks for the reply 🤝
Tony Northrup tested this, resolution wise, the 15 Pro resolves around the same detail as an 8-10 megapixel camera (i.e. less then the 12 megapixel A7S III once you remove the artificial sharpening). As for the lenses, you are getting 13mm f/10, 24mm f/6.3 and 77mm f/24 (120mm f/21 on the Max) fixed aperture equivalents to full frame. Just worth bearing that in mind.
My opinion is the ultra wide and tele lenses are very poor, borderline unusable in most situations. The wide lens being wider than the previous 26mm and at f/6.3 equivalent does leave a lot to be desired, you have to "fake" the depth of field with moderate degree of success but something is off about the images to my eye, they still look very much like from a phone and not a camera - maybe it's just me.
Why does raw file size gets reduced after edited in lightroom?
Once you export it as a jpg yes way smaller. File size isn’t a huge issue though. Plus you can now shoot 48mp heif which is way smaller than raw. You get the resolution just not the dynamic range for editing
What’s best to shoot from? Raw or HEIF?
Always raw
She’s gorgeous! The iPhone I mean.
Plz make a video on iphone 15 pro
What would you like to see that would be different than this? I guess the only difference is 3x vs 5x. I prefer 3x
What is the difference between heif and prorawmax and proraw ?
Heif is like a more efficient size Jpg. Max heif (when using main camera) will let you shoot at full 48mp for a high res heif. ProRaw is a raw image file that has a lot of dynamic range to edit with in post. Like in adobe photoshop or Lightroom.
I just hate how the big ass iPhone is the most popular one to be reviewed. I mean it doesn't fit in a pocket without ripping and making tears on your jeans after a few months. Like this is really the form factor that became highest in demand? People be wanting stupid things.
This phone or Sony
Compared with the S23U
It’s a tough awkward comparison cuz the camera focal lengths are so different. S23u has the better camera system as far as focal lengths imo
The additional focal lengths are not just cropping... I would figure out how these things actually work before making a video on them but that's just me
It’s literally cropping in on the main sensor. With computational processing it can still push out 24mp image. If you think it’s not cropping in on the sensor then you fell for their marketing bs because how else would it work? There’s no physical zoom lens mechanism inside it.
This new iPhone cameras will kill APSC sensor specially Fuji x.
Once the phones can actually use a 1” sensor and computational processing gets even more advanced it’s going to be close
Yeah that's why Fuji X is now huge trend all over the internet.😅You can't beat those lovely recipes.
So wait
Does these model get paid
Yes
@@LeeZavitz there's this girl who did the review of the iphone 13 pro max where's she
I need her for the next iphone 15 pro max after 1 month
@@LeeZavitz there's this girl that you took shots of her on the s22 vs iphone 13 pro (raw photos)
We need her for another s23 ultra vs iphone 15 pro max
Excessive sharpness remains in prores😢
I wouldn’t say excessive. All these phone companies trying to make the footage look good on a phone screen so they push sharpness. It usually looks good on the phone but on anything else it’s super obvious
Oh no im too early:)
but you are first
@@LeeZavitz i sure am :)
iPhone vs S23 Ultra
Ultra is Trash compaired to IPhone 15,and Ihave the S23 Ultra.completely destroyed by Iphone.must hurt Samsung pretty much.
what a Bummer for Samsung with their usless Moonshots.S23 Ultra on Place 15,what a shame.
What's her IG acc?
Titan is shit. Better aluminium. Better qualitat
pro cameraman doesnt give a f stop about the grids, sad to hear about your misconceptions
grids are for people who take good photos. I don’t even look at them unless i really need to. Fix it in post lol
@@LeeZavitz but didn't even fixed it in post
When you say pro do you mean problematic photographer?
Yes
I do like the 15 Pro max camera & the Model did a good job as well 💯🫡
As a Photographer, which optical zoom you recommend for portraits, 3x or 5x?
Both are good, 3x is more useful imo. I like the Samsung s23 ultra setup. 3x and 10x for when you really need a zoom
@@LeeZavitz Please don't avoid the question, I have the same doubt. Between two perfectly identical phones, with the same camera characteristics, but one with x3 and the other x5, which of the two would you choose for portraits? Thanks
Lee YA'RE WRONG ❗️👻👻👻🤪🤪🤪
The 28, 35, and 48mm crops you get from the 48MP sensor aren't 'digital crops'. They are lossless sensor crops in 24MP, which is the new default resolution of the primary camera (in 24, 28, 35, and 48mm).
According to File Inspector :
x1 48MP 8064 x 6048
x1.2 35MP 6912 x 5184
x1.5 24MP 5712 x 4284
x2 12MP 4032 x 3024
😂😂😂😂 Still a Crop with a little added computational stuff...
