It also depends on where you are viewing the images. If it’s just on social media the new phones are great. If it’s on a 4K monitor you want to use a professional camera
Most people watched this video on phones and on RUclips. I take shots all the time on my 13pro/14pro/15pro and they just don’t compare to a traditional pro camera. They simply can’t. You can’t cheat physics/light. You can make the most of a small sensor, yes apple has done this, and it’s a marvel. For what most people do with snapshots these days, yes the iPhone is plenty!! But someone who purposefully shoots with a traditional camera, it does not truly replace it.

@bigjohn2810 Nice to have a decent phone cam in a pinch, but considering the iphone 5x lens is 120mm (35mm equivalent) and only 12mp, a 24+mp DSLR or Mirrorless cam would be significantly more detailed, even at the wider end of the 100-400mm. The telephoto end would completely destroy the phone.
For me its still not dead. Some of my client still want a professional camera thats how they payed us to use. I love your comparison with the smart phone and professional camera.
Nice video - straight to the point. I'm up at UCLA at lot and right before the summer begins you see a lot of people taking graduation photos.

It’s remarkable the progress we see today with the iPhone 15 Pro vs a pro camera. This gives folks like myself who would never make the big investment in a pro camera a sense of what it means to take amazing shots on an iPhone budget. Thank you for this video, Kevin.
These comparisons have been made several times in recent years. For the normal user, a camera like this produces very good results for his needs. For the professional sector the differences are enormously greater. A professional camera would therefore be a waste of money for a normal user.

Thanks Kevin, it's quite amazing how smart phone camera's have started catching up to mirrorless cameras. I have an R5 and a Galaxy S21 Ultra. It's hard to beat the convenience of a phone camera but when it comes to adaptability with a myriad of lens choices i.e. macro lens, super telephoto, wide angle etc. for mirrorless cameras they are very much alive.

Cell phones have came a long way for photography but I still like the photos that are shot out of Fujifilm camera more. Especially when it comes to dial in specific settings. Those settings on the other hand are for novice or first time photographers. The good thing about the iPhone is, you literally pick it up and it’s user friendly while my Fujifilm will probably look complicated and complex to novice photographers.

Great video. Two things I still miss on Iphone cameras is a superzoom and improved low-light performance. But considering the size of a smartphone camera, I think that's probably too much to ask! Anyway, their evolution is incredible, and in such short time.
I'm not super big into photography and don't often take a lot of photos with my phone. But I was Surprised at the few I got wrong when looking at the comparisons. I think Camera's on phones have just reached a point where they are "Good Enough" for most use cases. While a true Mirrorless DSLR and appropriate Lense combination will allow for higher quality final products in the end. The trade offs between cost, and ease of use make their own arguments.
You've made a valid point; for casual users, smartphones now offer "good enough" quality, while dedicated cameras with the right lenses can provide superior results, but there's definitely a trade-off between cost and ease of use to consider when choosing the right tool for the job.
You can buy a Nikon D3x for $840 (from 2008), a 50mm f1.4 for $200 and take professional photos which a far better than what iPhone 15 pro max takes. No need to spend $10,000 :)
You can also buy a garbage truck and empty your own trash but it’d only be a waste for someone that doesn’t work with it or REALLY loves garbage trucks for some reason. Same thing, a camera is bulky, relatively manual and completely useless for anyone but the tiniest amount of people who do work taking pictures or who are enthusiast that have it as a big hobby. For casual everyday use, a phone camera with its automatization of the process, insanely good quality for its size and simplicity and super fast point and click level of easy, beats a pro camera every day in every relevant category.
Wow, Excellent video comparison. I like the fact of how quickly you are able to explain this in 8 minutes. I think you should compare it with other cheap DSLR camera and also try to shooting fast-moving subject, like a moving car. I also don't think that professional cameras are dead because smartphones can't produce that natural blur that cameras do although they are getting really really close to it and also I don't think any smartphone will come close to cameras when it comes to optical zoom P.s I loved this video💯
Wow, Excellent video, comparison, and very instructive. Amazing how far smartphone cameras have come. I agree that adapting to the practicality of newer technology is very rewarding and accepting its shortcomings is worth it. Being more efficient with time and energy allowing for greater content output and flexibility. Cheers.

The blurriness of the portrait mode on iPhone is done in post process and you can see how it sometimes fails to preserve "intrusions" of smaller details which are in focus into the background, such as the thorns of the rose.
So crazy! I wasn’t even trying to figure out which photo was taken by the iPhone but just deciding which picture I liked best. And more than 50% of the time it was actually the iPhone ones! It’s time to get one and get used to it for smaller video work. Thank for this great comparison!
Until you do the test yourself and learn more about photography... Then you realize that a Nikon D3x from 2008 (currently sold at $840) with a prime 50mm f1.4 lens for about $200 mops the floor with any iPhone and is also cheaper, and the image quality is far superior.
Hey Kevin Raposo, I just watched your this video comparing the iPhone 15 Pro Max to a professional camera, and I have to say, it was truly impressive! Your attention to detail and thorough analysis were outstanding. I appreciated how you delved into every aspect of the iPhone's camera capabilities and compared them to a dedicated professional camera. Your explanations were clear and easy to follow, making it an excellent resource for anyone (including me 😄)interested in photography or considering the iPhone 15 Pro Max for their creative pursuits. Great job on the video, Kevin! Your content is always top-notch, and this one was no exception. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'm looking forward to your next upload! 📷👏👍
Thank you for a great video I had made my mind up now I place an ordered iPhone 15 pro max now awesome comparison 👌 hope you have a great day 8:22 👍🏼😄🙏
Phones comes very close to DSLRs - nice to see your report and tests. I'm waiting for my iPhone 15 Pro Max - some people say it's not the best smartphone camera.
As a photographer who started back loading film in to a dark slide way back when, I am constantly blown away with the quality and ruggedness of the iPhone. I no longer get may arms stretched carrying around huge amounts of heavy lighting such as flash packs etc. Yes the pro camera still has the edge but only just, these days. Soon it will be superseded but not quite yet!
The video was very informative. I was actually in the market to buy a new camera but I think just for personal use. I’ll just upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Thanks for this balanced summary of the pros and cons. I have an Olympus E-M1 Mk2 and take hundreds of shots a day out around France where I live. More and more I find I leave the OM behind despite it being so compact. The iPhone 14 ProMax I bought earlier in the year has been a game changer really. Superb images without a lot of hassle. But when I take the Olympus out I immediately realise why I prefer that format. With a 14-150 lens I am able to wander around and take pretty much anything I want right through the day and into the night all handheld. I am not into post processing (yet) so just make do what I can set up and the complexity of these modern cameras is incredible. I think one major plus of a dedicated camera is the viewfinder as the touch screen can be a real pain both for lighting reasons and accidently switching to a different mode. Lastly ability to 3D scan using both LIDAR and Photogrammetry with such apps as Scaniverse is fantastic.

Very interesting video. It's obvious that dedicated cameras still do their job in a better way, but thinking to the fact that an iPhone is… a phone (and a lot of other things) that still manages to take such photos… incredible.

A decade or more ago I got hired to do a pro job for a new event venue that needed interior photographs for their website and other advertising. I did it in the regular fashion… the camera up on a tripod taking my time adjusting light and result? Plenty of great shots. Then after packing everything up, I was about to walk out the door and I just decided to snap a couple of shots using my new iPhone 4 at the time. The client was very happy with all of the work but then when I showed her what I did with the iPhone she said “oh my gosh this is wonderful,” and for five years that was the front page of their website, so I totally agree with you. There are plenty of situations where an iPhone will outperform its looks as a pro device.

As an amateur photographer, I’m in love. If the best camera is the one that you have with you, then this is fantastic. Have you done any low light or Astro shots?
Enjoyed the comparison. I hope to be able to upgrade from an iPhone 12 Pro Max to an iPhone 15 Pro Max for on the go video shoots as well, so thanks for the insight.

Great video Kevin, you answer a question I ask myself quite often. I’m just an amateur photographer but take thousands of pictures of nature, wildlife, family, sports, etc. I’ve always felt the classic “the best camera is the one you have with you”, but of course have to decide whether to bring my old dSLR or not. More and more often it stays at home, only coming out when I know I’ll need extreme telephoto. Cheers!

Great video! I could always use some extra storage. That phone is beyond impressive, and I think in the future, it will come even closer to pro cameras than it does now.
I'd honestly think long and hard before I got a DSLR. I have one and sure I can get better shots in poor lighting than on an iPhone but how serious are you about photography? Smart phones make taking photos easy. You can actually take crappy images with a DSLR because it requires some thinking.
Great video and perfect comparison I needed to make decisions upgrading my gear for our drone business. I’m weary of carrying a full frame camera when doing interior real estate photos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The specs on our canon are not as good as our iPhone 12 Pro Max and it has become increasingly difficult to tell, post processing which is which. Our customers have been very happy with our work and they, as well, were unable to tell the difference. We live in a much smaller market than most metro areas so the choice between a new iPhone($1100) and a new full frame($10k) is getting easier. Thank you for your input! We are always open to constructive criticism and grateful for advice. 😉🙏🏻
Cell phones are getting closer and closer, but just to casual photos. When we talk about nature photography for instance, it's another story...

@@kevinraposo Thanks for the heads up! I'll double-check any messages claiming I won the raffle contest and verify their authenticity. Your vigilance is appreciated! Hoping to win 1 of your prizes. Kudos to u. 👍😊
Would have been sweet to see some low light examples. Night time with flash options too! Was curious how the 48mp would stand up to the R5, appreciate seeing those side by sides.

Very good video! Informative, articulate and charismatic personality. I subscribed after just one vid!!
It’s remarkable the progress we see today with the iPhone 15 Pro vs a pro camera. This gives folks like myself who would never make the big investment in a pro camera a sense of what it means to take amazing shots on an iPhone budget. Thank you for this video, Kevin.
glad you enjoyed it!
These comparisons have been made several times in recent years. For the normal user, a camera like this produces very good results for his needs. For the professional sector the differences are enormously greater. A professional camera would therefore be a waste of money for a normal user.

Thanks Kevin, it's quite amazing how smart phone camera's have started catching up to mirrorless cameras. I have an R5 and a Galaxy S21 Ultra. It's hard to beat the convenience of a phone camera but when it comes to adaptability with a myriad of lens choices i.e. macro lens, super telephoto, wide angle etc. for mirrorless cameras they are very much alive.
educate yourself phone camer a cannot be compared to dlsr dumb moron

Cell phones have came a long way for photography but I still like the photos that are shot out of Fujifilm camera more. Especially when it comes to dial in specific settings. Those settings on the other hand are for novice or first time photographers. The good thing about the iPhone is, you literally pick it up and it’s user friendly while my Fujifilm will probably look complicated and complex to novice photographers.
You've highlighted an important distinction. Thanks for watching!
Its about enjoyment. I enjoy using my mirror less, DSLR and my camera phone 😊
Awesome video. The quality of captures made with an iPhone are astonishing! Thanks for your hard work!

I could EASILY tell the difference in quality between the two... big difference.
Great video. Two things I still miss on Iphone cameras is a superzoom and improved low-light performance. But considering the size of a smartphone camera, I think that's probably too much to ask! Anyway, their evolution is incredible, and in such short time.
They will fix that too soon enough lol. How they get bigger sensors is above my pay grade. Maybe they find a workable
I'm not super big into photography and don't often take a lot of photos with my phone. But I was Surprised at the few I got wrong when looking at the comparisons. I think Camera's on phones have just reached a point where they are "Good Enough" for most use cases. While a true Mirrorless DSLR and appropriate Lense combination will allow for higher quality final products in the end. The trade offs between cost, and ease of use make their own arguments.
You've made a valid point; for casual users, smartphones now offer "good enough" quality, while dedicated cameras with the right lenses can provide superior results, but there's definitely a trade-off between cost and ease of use to consider when choosing the right tool for the job.
Beautiful comparison. Interesting, Subscribed
You can buy a Nikon D3x for $840 (from 2008), a 50mm f1.4 for $200 and take professional photos which a far better than what iPhone 15 pro max takes. No need to spend $10,000 :)
But ONLY take professional photos, not everything else that an iPhone does.
You can also buy a garbage truck and empty your own trash but it’d only be a waste for someone that doesn’t work with it or REALLY loves garbage trucks for some reason.
Same thing, a camera is bulky, relatively manual and completely useless for anyone but the tiniest amount of people who do work taking pictures or who are enthusiast that have it as a big hobby.
For casual everyday use, a phone camera with its automatization of the process, insanely good quality for its size and simplicity and super fast point and click level of easy, beats a pro camera every day in every relevant category.
Wow, Excellent video comparison. I like the fact of how quickly you are able to explain this in 8 minutes. I think you should compare it with other cheap DSLR camera and also try to shooting fast-moving subject, like a moving car. I also don't think that professional cameras are dead because smartphones can't produce that natural blur that cameras do although they are getting really really close to it and also I don't think any smartphone will come close to cameras when it comes to optical zoom
P.s I loved this video💯
Wow, Excellent video, comparison, and very instructive. Amazing how far smartphone cameras have come. I agree that adapting to the practicality of newer technology is very rewarding and accepting its shortcomings is worth it. Being more efficient with time and energy allowing for greater content output and flexibility. Cheers.
Appreciate the kind words! Glad you found this instructive.
Loving the content Kevin. Unbelievably close results between the two. Thanks for taking the time to share this with all of us!

Thanks for the video! It's good to know that normal people may take great pictures on their phones, saving money.
The blurriness of the portrait mode on iPhone is done in post process and you can see how it sometimes fails to preserve "intrusions" of smaller details which are in focus into the background, such as the thorns of the rose.
I think the side-by-side comparison was great! It is amazing to see how far the iPhone camera has come over the last couple of years.
agreed!
So crazy! I wasn’t even trying to figure out which photo was taken by the iPhone but just deciding which picture I liked best. And more than 50% of the time it was actually the iPhone ones! It’s time to get one and get used to it for smaller video work. Thank for this great comparison!
Until you do the test yourself and learn more about photography... Then you realize that a Nikon D3x from 2008 (currently sold at $840) with a prime 50mm f1.4 lens for about $200 mops the floor with any iPhone and is also cheaper, and the image quality is far superior.
Even the fact that we are comparing cell phones to $30k+ cameras is simply amazing on its own.
Hey Kevin Raposo,
I just watched your this video comparing the iPhone 15 Pro Max to a professional camera, and I have to say, it was truly impressive! Your attention to detail and thorough analysis were outstanding.
I appreciated how you delved into every aspect of the iPhone's camera capabilities and compared them to a dedicated professional camera. Your explanations were clear and easy to follow, making it an excellent resource for anyone (including me 😄)interested in photography or considering the iPhone 15 Pro Max for their creative pursuits.
Great job on the video, Kevin! Your content is always top-notch, and this one was no exception. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'm looking forward to your next upload! 📷👏👍
Thank you for a great video I had made my mind up now I place an ordered iPhone 15 pro max now awesome comparison 👌 hope you have a great day 8:22 👍🏼😄🙏
Phones comes very close to DSLRs - nice to see your report and tests. I'm waiting for my iPhone 15 Pro Max - some people say it's not the best smartphone camera.
As a photographer who started back loading film in to a dark slide way back when, I am constantly blown away with the quality and ruggedness of the iPhone. I no longer get may arms stretched carrying around huge amounts of heavy lighting such as flash packs etc. Yes the pro camera still has the edge but only just, these days. Soon it will be superseded but not quite yet!
Seriously awesome performance wow it’s getting there 👍
yep, major improvements across the board!
The video was very informative. I was actually in the market to buy a new camera but I think just for personal use. I’ll just upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Welcome aboard!
Thanks for this balanced summary of the pros and cons. I have an Olympus E-M1 Mk2 and take hundreds of shots a day out around France where I live. More and more I find I leave the OM behind despite it being so compact. The iPhone 14 ProMax I bought earlier in the year has been a game changer really. Superb images without a lot of hassle. But when I take the Olympus out I immediately realise why I prefer that format. With a 14-150 lens I am able to wander around and take pretty much anything I want right through the day and into the night all handheld. I am not into post processing (yet) so just make do what I can set up and the complexity of these modern cameras is incredible. I think one major plus of a dedicated camera is the viewfinder as the touch screen can be a real pain both for lighting reasons and accidently switching to a different mode. Lastly ability to 3D scan using both LIDAR and Photogrammetry with such apps as Scaniverse is fantastic.
They are actually quite close in terms of video performance. Normal people won’t be able to tell the difference.
What do u mean by “normal people” 🤬
I loved ur video , iPhone vs Pro DSLR ! ❤
Glad you liked it!!
@@kevinraposo Loved it ! 🫰🏻

Great video -- how would you rate the camera of the Samsung S23 with your Cannon?
Great video. Really impressive to see how far phone cameras have come.
glad you enjoyed the video!
Very interesting comparison, I have a 70D and an iPhone 13 Pro and from my experience it closely matches to your experience.

Hi Mr. Kevin. Great video. Really appreciate your in depth analysis of the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera capabilities. Have you tried testing the "Log" video format 15 Pro's support? I am curious to know your take on the "Log" video format that 15 Pro's support. Is it going to be of any use to average users?

Very interesting video. It's obvious that dedicated cameras still do their job in a better way, but thinking to the fact that an iPhone is… a phone (and a lot of other things) that still manages to take such photos… incredible.

Thank u so much for this video, I have been using my I-phone more often for my RUclips channel. It’s amazing how great these phones have become.
A decade or more ago I got hired to do a pro job for a new event venue that needed interior photographs for their website and other advertising. I did it in the regular fashion… the camera up on a tripod taking my time adjusting light and result? Plenty of great shots. Then after packing everything up, I was about to walk out the door and I just decided to snap a couple of shots using my new iPhone 4 at the time. The client was very happy with all of the work but then when I showed her what I did with the iPhone she said “oh my gosh this is wonderful,” and for five years that was the front page of their website, so I totally agree with you. There are plenty of situations where an iPhone will outperform its looks as a pro device.
Awesome Video! Made me finally order & upgrade to 15 Pro Max from my iPhone 11.
That's a big jump. Enjoy it!
8 minutes of precise and straightforward info. Thanks!!
I try my best to be straight to the point. glad you enjoyed it!
Really good video! Trying to figure out what is my next camera- iphone 15 pro max or Sony a7iv, still can’t decide 😃
go with the Sony for any serious work

Excelent video. BTW works Kingston XS2000 and XS1000 with new iPhone? Both have USB C connector, and if I can use them as a external iPhone storage...
As an amateur photographer, I’m in love. If the best camera is the one that you have with you, then this is fantastic. Have you done any low light or Astro shots?
Enjoyed the comparison. I hope to be able to upgrade from an iPhone 12 Pro Max to an iPhone 15 Pro Max for on the go video shoots as well, so thanks for the insight.

Great comparison, speedy yet detailed and highlighted important differences between the pro camera and iPhone 15 pro max.
Very informative. I have an iPhone 15 pro and I am continually impressed by the image quality.
Great video! It’s really cool to see how close the iPhone is getting to a professional camera.
Thank you for a very good video. I had thought of looking into the new iPhone for camera use. Now I definitely will do so!
Glad it was helpful!

I continue to be blown away by how far the iPhone has come. Thanks for video!
I love your videos and recommend them to a lot of people. Your presentation and visualisation makes it easy to compare camera and iPhone. The storyboard you use brings results on point. simply professional. Thank you for your engagement.Gerd
Great content!
I have just got the iPhone 15, so I look forward to using it. I am thinking about getting a gimbal mount. Where is it worth using one?
Great video Kevin, you answer a question I ask myself quite often. I’m just an amateur photographer but take thousands of pictures of nature, wildlife, family, sports, etc. I’ve always felt the classic “the best camera is the one you have with you”, but of course have to decide whether to bring my old dSLR or not. More and more often it stays at home, only coming out when I know I’ll need extreme telephoto. Cheers!

I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 15 plus. I do a lot of filming in the woods where there is low light. I have an extra light in my GoPro. But what would be the best setting for filming with the phone.

good luck!
Love this comparison. I have the iPhone 15 pro max and looking whether or not to get a DSLR. Any recommendations? Thanks.
I'd honestly think long and hard before I got a DSLR. I have one and sure I can get better shots in poor lighting than on an iPhone but how serious are you about photography? Smart phones make taking photos easy. You can actually take crappy images with a DSLR because it requires some thinking.
Well done. Straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for - a comprehensive comparison.
I'm new to the photography field and thanks to your video, I will be trying my iPhone first to build up my experience. Keep making the great videos!!
great content!! The iPhone 15 Pro cameras are amazing! I can't wait to see how the improvements progress over the years to come. I subscribed!!
Just got my 15 Pro Max and can't wait to start taking pics. Thanks for a great video!
$10,000 camera gear with $1 photographer
Your way of portraying devices is amazing.
Thank you very much.
Great video and perfect comparison I needed to make decisions upgrading my gear for our drone business. I’m weary of carrying a full frame camera when doing interior real estate photos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
still would advise a full frame camera for interior photos if you’re doing professional work!
The specs on our canon are not as good as our iPhone 12 Pro Max and it has become increasingly difficult to tell, post processing which is which. Our customers have been very happy with our work and they, as well, were unable to tell the difference. We live in a much smaller market than most metro areas so the choice between a new iPhone($1100) and a new full frame($10k) is getting easier. Thank you for your input! We are always open to constructive criticism and grateful for advice. 😉🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your expertise, much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
