iPhone 12 Pro Max Vs. Sony A7Siii Video Low Light Comparison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- This is a comparison of the video in low light comparing the iphone to the Sony A7S3. I think the iphone 12 pro max has about the best video I've seen on a smartphone to date.
Both videos were shot in 4k 60p. No color correction except in the commentary scenes which were shot in on the a7R3 and a7S3 and at the end of the video.

Thank you so much. The best video on this topic
No problem. Glad I could help.
there are green lens flare in iphone 12 pro max, reviewer dint mentioned
good video i liked and thank you for put time on these
Does nobody ever mention about how bad the lens flare is on the Iphone 12? Its in every single low light video
I'm actually working on a video about a lens hood for the iphone. They are hard to find but i found one.
8:10 i love this place , i know you from Samsung Galaxy S7 days , you always come to this place for night camera testing .
Thanks, I'm so glad you remembered all the way back then. Thanks for still watching until this day!
Great video. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the comparison!
I can't believe the glare of the lenses in the iphone ! they are like ufo's in the video.

@@Somecooltech1 nice !
I went to the mall and test their demo iPhone 12s and was surprised there's really a flare issue/problem. And what made me laugh and cringe at the same time is that one of the staffs told me that "we sold many iphone 12s and got no complaints" (making me feel like i was just trolling)
@@MewAesthetic it really is not acceptable for a top of the line product, and top price too. Here at Uruguay the pro max climb to 1700U$S . I would by a Leica for that money ;)
@@davidBarrel yea. and now, i dont know if i should buy any of the 12 series or just go to Note20 Ultra/S21+ (with less flare lens)
thank you soooo much. I want to start making snowboarding vlogs and I wasnt sure how big the image quality difference would be between a iphone and a mirrorless. Its amazing thank you thank you thank you!
No problem. Glad you liked it. Which camera are you thinking about using? Honestly the iphone would be great for snowboarding vlog because the stabilization is so good and it would be easy to carry around. I would highly recommend going maximum on the memory because video pills up iphones fast and you don't want to run out.
Why I have noise on my iphone when shooting in low light? I have the 11 pro max
Thank you very much for such good contebt. Really hellpful!
No problem. I'm glad I could help. And thank you for the compliment!
How’s the night mode on the iphone compared to the A7siii for stills in really dark conditions? I’m seeing my IPhone 12 Pro Max outperforming my D750 handheld in really dark situations. It’s a limited win but still very impressive for a smartphone to be surpassing a full frame under certain lighting conditions. This is for example ISO 6400 on the D750 at 1/20th second or 1/30th with a 20mm 1.8 while the night mode will composite a 1 second shot and it’s doing better than the full frame. Pretty impressive that the video is doing that well vs the A7siii as thats about the pinnacle of low light video cameras.
What picture profile and codec did you use on the Sony? With the correct settings the Sony wouldn’t even be a comparison. The iPhone looks surprisingly good though.
Thank you so much.
It would have been best if comparing the exact same footage for some scenes
which lens did you use on the sony?
looks like the
Sony SEL-24105G G Standard Zoom-Objektiv
Sony 24-105 F4. Most of the video was shot at 24mm.
This was really helpful. I make silly music cover videos for RUclips for fun and was trying to decide between an expensive camera or just upgrading my phone. For my purposes, the phone upgrade is the much better deal based on your review. The Sony low light is best, but the iphone is close enough esp. if you do a little post on the levels. (I'm an audio engineer, I don't know much about video) Thanks!
I highly, highly recommended an actual Camera.
Why haven't you shown ISO, shutter speed and aperture of a7s III? I think this is not a honest test. I'd like to know the maximum usable ISO in 13 Pro and how it looks as compared with Sony.
Impressive review! Many thanks for the honesty - yes the Sony & lens awesome combo for dedicated filmmaking etc. however the iPhone 12 is an powerful multimedia device, shoot edit upload - write a script, order an Uber All that plus more for less than half the price of the Sony rig when you add in the cost of post production ie, editing on computer and license fees for editing software, plus cards, bag, batteries, lens filters, -easy 10k investment.
But the iPhone fits in your pocket!!!
Thx again for the comparison - you convinced me to buy an iPhone 13 Pro- thx 🙏
Why didnt you show the dark slow footagr e of the iphone?
Não tem como isso acontecer coloca a Sony no automático pq no manual vc não está operando certo
I have an 11 Pro Max, but no matter how much I try, my video footage is full of noise, no matter if it's outside during a sunny day or inside with studio lights all around. Low ISO, high and low shutter speeds, 4K, 1080p, 24/25/30/60 fps....doesn't matter. I have tried all the lenses. Tried apps like Filmic Pro, Beastcam etc. The video footage always end up noisy! Can anyone tell me what the fuck is causing it without telling me to just buy a newer iPhone?
iPHone 12 has super annoying lens flare dots... if that could be fixed...
Very good comparison… Did you also try to use 10 bit Dolby Vision while filming with iPhone 12 Pro Max or plain 8 bit colors?
Would be also great to see Filmic Pro with 150Mbps Dolby Vision setting on an iPhone 12 Pro Max…
The iphone video was in 8-bit because 10 bit was not available at the time of filming. Maybe I should do another video with both in 10 bit?
@@maks_zbogar Good idea about using filmic pro. I use that app sometimes but I really like pro movie the best.
@@Somecooltech1 I see… I don’t know Pro Movie app, but in case this app can utilise 150Mbps Dolby Vision, then I would really like to see if the footage is significantly better than 8 bit.
Why did you not mention the huge faulty floating annoying light points on the iPhone?
A very big deal breaker.
Those are the lens flares. The flares are moving because the lens is stationary but the imager and electronic stabilization are moving to compensate. Good point I should have mentioned it in the video but you will see that in many stabilized cameras and smartphones.
yes, they make the image unusable really. They should have sorted that out before putting those cameras in the phone.
@@thefowlyetti2 I actually bought a lens hood for the iphone 12 to try and eliminate the lens flare and reflection off the flat lens. I want to try out. I'll add a picture or video of it on Tech Connect on Facebook facebook.com/Somecooltech
Bro it is raw or edited
Maybe xperia 1 iii vs iPhone 12 pro max for the next comparison would be great
How about audio and battery life comparisons
Thanks
could anyone please explain why iphones when record in direct light source would have those light dots?
its reflection of the lenses in the iphone. many phone companies tend to use cheap lenses. apple knows very much about those dots, they would probably use better lenses in a future iphone and say its a new feature.
Can you zoom in using the iPhone image stabilization? I'm using a Samsung S-10 and it only allows one step of zoom.
Why no light flicker with iPhone?
Hmm, despite being a €4400 camera vs a €1100 smartphone, it was quite even and very interesting!
Low light is only a tip of the iceberg... phones will never match the quality of cameras...
L’iPhone 12 Pro ce débrouille vraiment pas mal face au Sony A7s III a plus de 4000€. Hâte de voir ce que vas donner le Lumix GH6
Yes, I was quite surprised at how well the iphone 12 did. Its low light video is really good and its pictures are excellent too.
Use Sony's Gyro Data to edit video to fix stabilization. Use 24Gm lens for even better low light scene. Other than that, this is just a comparison for mom and pops users. You don't buy the Sony to shoot like that.
cool video
Did not come across gyroscopic stabilization on the a7siii?
I have tried the Sony catalyst software that can stabilize the footage when you get it on your PC. It looks good but the app costs $150 per year! That is to much for me. You can check it out here www.sonycreativesoftware.com/catalystprepare
And now i'm watching still with my iphone 6s, i don't know how surprised i will be if i upgrade my phone 😂
1:36 lens flare it's annoying. How can we remove this?
Hi, do you solve this problem?
These cameras are in a totally different league wtf, phones will never catch up, simply because of sensor size in dark light
Thoughts on A7Siii vs Gh5s?
I used to own the GH5. When the GH5 got it right it nailed the picture and it looks so good but the problem is sometimes it was horrible too. Shooting vlogs was impossible with the gh5 because auto focus was terrible. I finally gave up on Panasonic and went all sony. The a7s3 just nails it way more often. Focus is amazing. Colors are good and detail is excellent. Slow motion options are top of the line. The only downside on a7s3 is the pictures are only 12MP. I have the A7R3 too so if I want to do photography I can use that. Bottom line they are both good but the Sony is the ultimate video camera in my opinion but you pay about twice as much for it too.
@@Somecooltech1 thank you. The price is the only thing that’s tuff.
you can see LENS GLARE on IPHONE
Ok, so for a smartphone the iPhone 12 is fantastic. But is it actually... good? Depends on what your standards are. I wouldn’t actually call it "good" in low light, just (very) good *for a smartphone camera*. And then there are those flares. With traffic lights, I think those are really distracting and just not something you can sugarcoat.
the camera on the iphone is also made by sony :P
Sony or Samsung
@@ishs3282 sony > camera , Samsung > display
Comparing I phone with professional camera is like comparing Kia Rio with Lamborghini 🤷🏻
I think this is good tht he did this bcs people nowadays always like *Buying camera is such a waste iphone already have good camera u can use that as wedding photography!* 😂
all test is good test. many people think phones have surpassed cameras, i was one of those people. its always in low light where we see phone struggle.
I don´t see much low light to be honest and i think my RX100M4 would do by far better in low light than the Iphone 12pro max.
At least the Sony is far superiour to my OP8pro which is very good in low light for a smartphone. Ant the Oneplus easily beats the 11pro in this discipline to make a cross comparison. (Danny Winget comparison) Faces of people recoreded with the Iphone look like pixel mud in many scenes in this video.
Watching this in 1080P, I prefer the iPhone in almost all the shots. I'm sure the A7S has a lot more room to work with when editing though. The only thing I don't like about the iPhone is the lens flares. I would def prefer the iPhone because of the stabilization. After using a GoPro, it's hard to go back to shaky footage.
No way you’re serious
small dot why
That camera deserves so much better than 24-105 F4, especially for low light test.
You keep saying A7R3 :D but good comparison nonetheless!
I know I messed that up. Its such a mouth full to say. I bet you can tell what my last sony was. You guessed it, the A7R3. LOL. And thank you so much for the good comparison comment. Camera reviews are so hard to get likes on so thank you!
Thank you!
iphone has too much ghosting. That is common on phone camera. but seems iphone doing worse.
I think the iphone footage will looks much better if you go pro mode with lower aperture
That's not how that works at all lol, the camera is fixed at F1.6, the "aperture" settings are for the fake depth of field portrait photography, which also doesn't work in video
So a pro phone is not necessarily a Max phone? So a maximum phone isn't pro?
In this case the 12 pro max has a different camera than the regular pro. The max has the moving sensor and a little bigger pixels. Honestly I'd probably would have just got the 12 pro if it wasn't for the camera because the size is slightly big for me. The iphone 12 pro is incredible too.
Tons of glare. Half an inch sensor vs full frame sensor, you can’t cheat physic. Especially if you stick one of the fast lens in the a7s like a 1.4 aperture or something, it would blow it out of the water. Tons of glares on iphone
iPhone has a lot to go yet. All the photos and videos were overexposed and looked artificial.
i don't know why u keep saying both look good when the difference is obvious, especially that i'm watching this on a big screen, also you can't compare a $100 sensor to a $1000 and also the high quality lenses on the sony makes it a wider gap, everything else can be post processed but no matter how hard you try a trained eye can easily spot the flaws of any smartphone camera system, AI can not fix that it will always come out unnatural
Lol
Awesome 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Thank you so much. People are so hard on camera comparison videos so this makes me feel really good. Thank you!
I think Hua wei camera better
Yet another comparison video............ Look......You are comparing what is called a camera to what is called a phone(with a built in camera). I am trying to not be offensive but seriously, you and the hundreds of youtubers comparing completely different products like this is no different to comparing a banana to a spoon for use in a kitchen as a device to stir things with. You obviously keep commending the sony's image quality and low noise...its like you must need the reassurance that your sony is ok or you have buyers remorse on a getting the iphone and need to somehow try to feel better. Mate, its phone with a built in camera. The countless people trying to convince themselves that some bullshit phone is to the same quality and performance as a fully fledged camera is pure stupidity..............You got a thumbs down from me. Stop wasting time and do something more meaningful.
