2 wrong....Mainly looked for skin tones that give it away. For sure harder to tell without human subjects. I looked at the orange on your OneWheel to tell easier as well. I honestly wouldn't have thought about it too much if I was just casually watching. Great video!
Got them all right... between the fake sharpness that's so much like a GoPro and the lack of dynamic range the footage sticks out like a sore thumb to me! But I daily the alpha 1 and a7SIII while using my iPhone 14 Pro Max to capture family/around the house stuff or social media reels so I look at the footage on a regular basis. Wish people would be more creative with these iPhone 15 videos instead of trying to compare them to professional rigs. Split second cut scenes aren't it! Still love your videos though, no hate just want to see more creativity!!
Tell me something, why is there zero motion blur when you zip in on the OneWheel in the a7SIII shot? Looks like you cranked the shutter speed to match the iPhone or you shot it in 60fps but didn't slow the footage down on a 24fps timeline??
The 15 Pro is the closest to a "real" camera to date, mostly because it's not overly sharp, it has a nice "cinematic" softness and a slight bokeh that makes it really hard to tell which is which. Phone footage being so passable paired with being able to just slip the phone in your pocket probably makes more sense than spending a few thousand on a camera just to shoot RUclips videos (for most people just starting out). Also a quick tip - if you have an Apple Watch, you can use it as a "second screen" for your camera while shooting video. It's dinky, but you can at least see what your framing looks like.
It would be interesting to see comparison between different formats. Normal, ProRes SDR, ProRes HDR and ProRes Log. Workflow differences, ups and downs etc.
The real reason while an iPhone won't replace a mirrorless camera (for professionals at least) has nothing to do with the quality which has come to far, it's more of the fact that just showing up with a camera and the extra gear creates the "perception" to a client that you are professional. Otherwise if the client was not present and I submitted a video shot on iPhone (especially with Pro Res Log now) they would not notice the difference. Just as someone shooting a wedding, but in order to get clients that pay more you just have to have the perception of the right gear.
Nonsense. A client hires you because they like your work, not how "professional" your gear looks. Ive used my iPhone on several paid client shoots. Never had an issue. In fact, they loved that I was able to airdrop them photos and videos while the shoot was going on and they could edit and upload to social media quickly. If a client ever had an issue with what gear I brought, Id turn around and leave and keep their deposit. They dont dictate what gear I use, ever.
On a fast edit like that it makes sense that it's hard to see the difference. Would be more fair to compare longer shots. That being said, the fact that they can blend together like that in fast edits is already amazing. And the iPhone 15 pro shoots amazing footage for its price regardless of quick or long shots.
Im blown away Teppo! Such a big fan of you and your brother. The colors you were able to pull out of the iPhone were impressive, did you record to an external hard drive on the iPhone?
I want to travel super light and debating about only using the iPhone with drone (Air2s) and sports camera (Ace Pro). I appreciate the call outs of the short comings of the phone.. I'm sure the a7s3 camera is better at long exposure content too ;-)
So what is the point of buying expensive camera this day if modern flagship can give you 90% quality of those camera without tweaking anything around photo/video? Please guys, nobody nor even professional film directors would guess which device was used to create those shots. 🤨
Brother i have also iPhone 15 pro Max and sony a6400 so iam going to upgrade lens so should i buy tamaron 17 70 2.8 or sony 50 mm i am planning to use iPhone as wide angle please help me
Great video :) P.s. I use my Apple Watch for getting the iPhone shot framed more or less correctly. It's not ideal and it's not perfect, but it does the job and it's right there on your hand!
Okay - so I’m watching the video and I can tell which is which just by the over sharpening of the iPhone idk if my eyes are just trained to see the difference but I hate these comparisons lol I think the iPhone is great for on the go shooting and you don’t want to carry much or you need something right then and there and don’t have enough time to pull out your camera. Idk I think iPhone is at the point it’s okay to use. Just not for professional use. I couldn’t see myself using it for wedding videos - great video

It's actually easy, everything that had really nice depth of field was shot on the camera. The iPhone clips had ZERO good depth of field... maybe you can sacrifice depth of field for TikTok content because users don't care at all about that, they just see a cool, well-composed colorful shot and go 'wow,' but for cinema? Art photography? Try the fake af iPhone substitute for a bigger camera's depth and optics and see how far you get (answer: not far). Try blowing up an image from an iPhone to cover a wall and you'll quickly see why that doesn't work. It'll look like a crunchy oversharpened mess
You might want to check out the "Shot on iPhone" campaign thats been going on for like, ummmm, 12 years now. They have made photos WAY bigger than walls.

@@michaelbell75 "Better photos" - you have no idea wtf you're talking about.

And if you want to "zoom"? Forget it lol, resolution go bye bye. The only 48 MP camera even on the 15 Pro Max is the 24 mm, everything else is 12 MP IN ADDITION to all those limitations I mentioned. So if conditions aren't perfectly ideal, you'll get far less than 12 MP. Dream on...

Sir, do you use uv filter when take video?
No just ND filters

@@uphdennyalexander K&F ND2-400. They are like $30 from Amazon. I use the 67mm with an attachment from Moment.
why sony doesn't add on the stabilization feature built-in camera, Thats a shame!
It's much more complicated to stabilize a large sensor, but the new Sony cameras do it.
So if i filmed a video at 1080p 30fps, 60 mbps vs 4k 30fps only 30mbps both with hdr on, which would be better?
