The AE-1 images look a ton better. More soul...whereas the iPhone images are boring and clinical.
I think I would have to agree!
Like there is such a major difference. Every time the photo of the Canon AE1 I would sign from it's beauty!
@@user-md1zm5xp2x I think I actually said that
This exactly! So much more life in the Canon photos. Love it!
Wow clinical is the perfect word for that
Hands down Canon. I read somewhere that digital cameras take pictures while film cameras captures moments.
MilesAndHeights well said
@Henry S. 💕
i bought a disposable camera to take random pictures at a party and i’ve been obsessed with the look ever since. couldn’t put it into words. this described it perfectly!
@MegaCreamy I bought the AE-1 program. Just finished my first roll of film. Can’t wait to give it for developing. For the disposable ones, do you hand it in with the camera for developing? Like is the film built in?
MilesAndHeights i just purchased the ae-1 today as well haha. but yeah you can bring it into camera store or a retailer and they send it off to get developed
The iPhone flattens every subject into its background. The depth of field on the ae1 is silky and serene
Oh the Canon all day mate. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the iPhones' impressive, clean images at all. But there's something about the organic look of a good old roll of film with a great photographer at the helm which makes all the difference IMO.
Great work as always Tom 👍
Thanks Dave! And yeah man, a roll of film just has that edge I think!
All iPhones have crap cameras to be fair all phones do, fact is you can't beat a proper camera.
The iPhone takes photos with amazing image quality, the sharpness and dynamic range blow away the canon, but the photos look like to be consumed for half a second. The Canon photos look like memories I'd want to print.
AE-1 shots were just beautiful
Interesting Fact:
The iPhone photo sound was made with the Canon AE-1
then how come they sound nothing alike
The iPhone camera shutter sound is taken from the sound of the Canon ae-1’s battery powered motor attachment. This motor powered the film advancer to allow for quick captures. Look up the sound it makes. Pretty neat.
@sylphynford. The sound effect he used for the ae-1 is a stock sound effect you absolute goober
Film just has more life in the picture.
I have the Canon AE1 and I preferred the iPhone for Landscape photos. The dynamic range it really good and with the presents on phones you can really make it look film like. But when you have a Human subject its AE1 all the way. The way the Film handles skin tones it's no comparison.
Agreed!
To be fair, normally you wouldn't use a 35mm camera for landscape in the first place.
You would have to compare it to a medium format camera then.
The 35mm negatives are just too small to capture that amount of detail to make it a fair comparison with a modern digital camera.
I think if he overexposed the film a bit more he would've had much better dynamic range in the shot. Not sure it would be comparable with iphone, but still. You have to remember, that it's not actually canon ae-1 vs iphone, but rather portra 400 vs iphone 11.
I’m all about watching an AE-1 review from you!
I think it's going to happen!
Byte Review heck yeah, man!!! Can’t wait!!!
JUST MAKE THE AE-1 REVIEW!!!!
Its like the camera ae 1 already has filters or like edited already in the Lightroom
Impressing! I like the feeling that film adds to every image here. Although, the iphone 11 pro wins on dynamic range on every picture.
That said, there is some room for improvement for the film setup.
- What was the scan process? A dedicated scanner with multi-exposure will surely improve the DR.
- A better lens, will definitely improve image quality
- Better light metering. Some (a lot?) of the film pictures are overexposed.
- A lens hood! The iphone somehow automatically deals with this, but the SLR camera does not.
Awesome and very unexpected video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Pretty sure the scans are done with a Nortisu HS100 but unsure of what the process is, I ask for the highest quality so that’s as much info as I can get! I’m using the settings the AE-1 is giving but I might underexpose a little next time! I’ll have a look for lens hoods, if that’ll help too :)
@@ByteReview id keep the exposure as it is, film can lose tons of shadow detail when underexposed which isnt a good look (in my opinion ofc)
@@ByteReview never underexpose your film. a bad idea. if anything, overexpose your film one or two extra stops for a creamier look.
Oh, and the only other piece of advice I’d give you, is that in some shots on the AE-1 I feel like you’ve got sometimes too much bokeh. Especially in the skateboard shots, I feel like your subject was never completely focused, it doesn’t hurt to go off of f1.8 sometimes, and can actually also result in sharper images, depending on the lens. Overall though brilliant photos, keep it up :)
I’m a terror for going straight to 1.8! I think you’re right, the lenses I used sharpen up loads around f2.8-4 - thanks for the tips!
I also prefer the depth and shadows in the AE-1 shots. It seems like they have more soul & life in them. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching
This is actually very important video that shows actual technological progress in photography. Also I've never seen blown highlights that beautiful
More contrast and cinematic feel for the Ae-1 , definitely!
I really love the images captured by the AE-1. It has that unexplainable calming vibe in it.
Love the colors you get from the AE-1. It’s definitely impressive how far along iPhone has come with the dynamic range.
I like the cleanness of the iPhone camera when it comes to pointing a camera directly at a light source, like the sun, but when the light source is actually illuminating objects in a scene and the camera is pointed away from said light source, the images feel amazing and flawless in their own right. Overall, I definitely prefer the Canon. Beautiful images.
I stopped taking pictures with a phone 5 years ago. But i use it to edit photos, cause i hate editing on computer. So much fun and easier on the phone.
Something to keep in mind is that the film photos are digitalised when we watch this video. If you were to print the iPhone 11 Pro photos and have them side by side with the physical canon ae-1 photos that would be interesting to see. For me the canon photos of the cat sleeping and the photo of the lone skateboard on the ramp stick out to me, look really nice!
That Canon AE-1 is one beautiful camera! I own one. Kodak Portra 400 will give you a warmer tone as it is heavier with yellows. I use a graduated ND filter to help to keep my skies from getting blown-out. Nice video comparisons!
This reminds me of why I got a UV filter for my AE-1.
every shot from AE feels nostalgic, which evokes more emotions,thus makes it more desirable.
I recently had a funeral and when going through the photos I noticed all the old ones shot on film were just more memorable while the digital ones felt stale. This was prior to acknowledging the difference between digital and film. I do think it’s a bit of bias and nostalgia. Regardless I’m looking to buy an SLR
I am doing the same experiment vs the iPhone 14 which is clearly no match for my AE-1 program. The pictures coming out from the 35mm are just magical.
You should’ve used a low speed film like Ektar 100, and a lens hood, for a better comparison.
I still have my AE1-P I bought new in early 80's. I was never a fan of Kodak filmstock. I preferred Fuji or Agfa. Further, I only used 400 asa for low light & motorsport photography until I invested in a Metz mecablitz 45 hammerhead flash.
the 2 comparisons that really stand out to me are the icecream shop and the pantry shelf. If you showed me just the iphone ones id forget them in a few minutes. But the Canon shots would stick with me
Love the colours in AE1!
I think we inherently devalue photos captured with a phone for some reason. My hypothesis is that its too easy and ubiquitous for it to matter. We also are familiar with the aesthetic of photos captured with a phone so we can recognize it easily. People generally don't consider moments captured with a phone to be expressive. It's also more technically limiting, intentionally, so that the barrier of entry is lower which means there is also less variables you can tweak to refine a photo. There's also the ML involved in post when the photo is captured in order to enhance the scene that kind of doesn't feel honest or believable.
All these things are what's happening behind saying phone photos "doesn't have a soul". They might be better on a technical level, but they won't make you feel a connection.
thanks for the comparison
Like some other comments, I definitely prefer the AE-1 shots. The iPhone shots are "too perfect", they have less personnality if I may say. Finally, the experience of shooting with a film camera is incomparable. If you really want to learn the basics of photography, you have to shoot with a film camera.
It is a great way to learn, fun too!
The iPhone sound that the man recorded originally off an AE-1 definitely had the dreaded shutter squeak
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I've never shot with film bit shot Fuji to try and get the look. But it's really got me thinking about just going full hog and shooting film. The look outways modern post processing!
It's really worth having a go, I reckon you'll enjoy it!
I made the switch and sold all my digital camera crap except for my Sony A7 (for recording videos).
Never in my life am i going back to digital photography.
When you first shot and got your first roll of film developed, there is no turning back.
So absolutely go for it!
WoW pretty cool to see the comparisons. Very helpful. Thank you.
I love my AE1, but in this case iPhone is preferable to me. But it depends on what you are looking for or the effect.
Such a beautiful video very informative, I am a real estate Photographer and the Canon AE-1 Program was gifted to me by homeowners I photographed their property; it was their was of saying thank you for helping them sell their home. I just ordered film the other day and I've always wanted a 35mm camera with a motor drive so bought one this morning. The camera is literally in mint condition nothing major dong think the previous owner used it much. Great content. Canon ftw.
Glad you enjoyed it! And enjoy the AE-1 it's a great camera, which reminds me - I need to buy some new film!
@@ByteReview Yes sir! Reload that film! Shot my first roll of Portra 400 ever the other day cant wait to see how they turn out.
I’m just starting with film camera. Can you make a video on how you got those images from film camera?
Good review. Im going to buy a Canon ae 1. Your Photos by Ae1 were so inspiring, soul. 😍
Review of that camera coming soon, make sure you sub!
If you are looking for a crisp, in focus, perfectly exposed picture with lots of detail and balanced colours, the high end smartphones and digital cameras do a great job. If you want to capture a moment and turn it into a photograph, 35mm film still wins.
really enjoyed this comparison! I think next time it would help viewers to know which settings you shot at on the canon since iphones tend to auto set at higher f stops to give that sharper looks (and let's not even talk about auto hdr lol) but it looks like you shot wide open almost always on the canon which gave some blown out highlights in a few snaps
Scans from AE-1 have problems with dynamic range, may be this scanner issue. Scanning with Nikon give a more better result.
hey bro, you are overexposing potra, as the blowouts seem severe, otherwise it has pretty nice dynamic range
some of those canon shots - bit out of focus. im suspecting you used the program mode and it stopped down the aperture ; in manual mode you could have forced f8-f16 to get more depth of field and compensate by changing shutter speed down a bit - then they would have looked more like the iPhone shots in terms of focus and depth of field. another thing with some films - love one extra stop of light- others a stop less depending on conditions. on the sunny pics I'd have said they were a tiny bit over exposed. but on the foot shot - bang on as contrast on canon was better and colour saturation more interesting. if you shoot Ektar or E100 - the colour and grain is so good on colour shots.
The irony here is the sound effect for the iPhone was actually recorded from an AE-1
I want an AE-1, there is something special that I don’t know how to explain.
i have myself a film camera too and i found that the pics that i get were more vibing and lively than the one i usually get from a digital. But its just an opinion tho.
In some photos I prefer the iPhone, in other the old Canon. Colours are much more realistic in the iPhone, but sometimes the old Canon seems to have better dept, shadows are sharper and more three-dimensional in some photos. This is just my impression. Great job anyway 💪
Yeah...but did you edit iphone pics with a portra feel? If not...then the comparison really hasn't been fairly done.
That was cool man! New subscriber!
Ayyyy! Welcome
Prime example of how the sharpest pictures aren't always the most pleasing. But honestly if you own an iphone, just lower the sharpness, slightly overexpose, lower the contrast, lighten the blacks slightly, and add a tasteful amount of grain. You'll get a similar look
satisfactory result. thank you!
how do i get photos out of my canon ae-1 ? im a begginer sorry
Nice video! Thanks! 💪
Please do more videos on the Canon Ae1.
Please redo this with the iPhone 13 Pro Max!
Thanks mate. I have a Canon AE-1 but I don't know how to take good photos same as you
Well, he has am AE-1 Program, so basically an A-1. But idk if he used the auto modes, maybe that's what made his pics look better
Film and not just cuz im an android the iPhone pictures look good too but nothing compares to the warm dream look of film and the lens effects sure there not high dynamic range but the shadows and the feel of the film just looks better it's more pleasing
Love the analog ones
I don't know if anyone has pointed this out but if the audio for Canon from the exact camera used in the video, it has a squeaky shutter. Camera works just fine but its worth noting.
I just found the audio file online to get that noise, the actual shutter does sound like that though, maybe I need to give it some tlc!
wahh great comparison..
can we get similar color look if we use slide film, bcoz they are more vivid than negative hmm..
Professional films can give much better results. Dynamic range just can't be so low. But even now colors in some occasions are better on film. I think there is something wrong with scanning process. It will be interesting to see both canon and iPhone photos printed (film printed direct optically) for better comparison. Good luck 👍.
Omg this is amazing! Makes me want to get the AE-1😍 What music is used in this video?
The song is called Sick Days By Dylan Sitts! And thank you, might be working on a Canon AE-1 Review soon!
Unbeatable film photos 📷 most of them, natural and realistic colors and tones
The AE-1 photos looks soo good. Did you shoot auto or manual? Thanks
Manual :)
AE1 looks a lot better with people and objects but suffers in landscapes with the sun especially, but a lower ISO film may help with that I’m thinking
i'm a big fan of analog cameras... the photos on the iphone 11 are much clearer, but the natural effect of the analog film puts emotion and identity in the photo
I really want to see a review on the AE-1! I almost bought one earlier today and now I'm regretting I didn't. Hehehe
Review is coming soon, sub so you don’t miss it 👀
What??? Portra 400 film for day-sun photo in Canon? You crazy man.
The iPhone takes "more accurate" photos, but the Canon takes "better feeling" photos. 35mm is just dripping with character and feeling when compared side by side.
As always a great video
Thanks Marvin!
Nice demo. The Ipad tends to exaggerate the blue end. Suggestion: A basic UV filter for the AE-1 would cut the haze and bring out the clouds. "Loving the AE-1" and lenses for +35 years! b.
Awesome, I’ll look into a filter!
@@ByteReview Yeah, back in the 'olde days" it was recommended to put a basic UV filter on most lenses with the bonus that it would also protect your lense from scratches, dust etc. cheers, b.
Iphone automaticly makes hdri. Dynamic range is different. Hence SLR is king, specially if there is BW film)
I'm sorry but I think smtg is wrong. You're comparing a film camera which inside of it has the film already AND the photos from a smartphone without filters. Wouldn't it be better if you add the iphone 11's photos to vsco x and add the Portra 400 filter in the photos?
If you're comparing iphone 11 vs digital cameras would be fine, cuz both will can be free from filters, but this is not.( Unless you're trying to compare btween a smartphone vs a film camera )
Whats with your apeature and exposure on the cam? Its almost like you are over exposing the camera every time. On purpose.
Canon AE-1 produces beautiful images on that Portra 400 film. There is so much character and a texture that you only get with analogue cameras. The tonal range is beautiful. You are producing 'real' photography.
The IPhone 11 produces quality photos however, they lack character. They feel dull and clinical. You get an image, a snapshot in time but that snapshot doesn't carry much feeling. There's no experience to be had, it's doing a job but not providing a pleasure. Atleast not in the way the analogue experience can.
Even Digital cameras lack that feeling.
The main difference to note here is HDR in iPhone camera vs the natural & unbiased photos from cannon camera
Where do you get your film processed?
What's the music in this?
I just bought a mint canon ae-1 I’m really fascinated by film photography and new to it how do you format film digitally? I have no clue other than visiting like a cvs or buying a film printer. Would like some clarity, & input btw love the shots! 😄
Thanks! And yeah I have to send my rolls of film off to get developed then they send the digital files back
Byte Review Ahhh I see, somewhere local or some where generic? What’s your go to lens to use with the Ae-1?
I use a 50mm 1.8 and a 23mm 2.8 and I have to send it off online - I use a service here in the uk called AGphotolab :)
In my opinion the iPhone and Canon are both very good cameras in general. The iPhone of course is more easier to produce and store while taking some very beautiful shots. While the Canon really has a glow and nostalgic feeling to it I think its better at capturing the emotion more than the iPhone can but of course the film has to be produced etc so its less convenient.
I prefer the AE-1, too !!!! It so much more authentic, I dont know - it has much more human touch :)
What shutter speed and aperture did u use?
I can see it seens to be at auto mode on that AE1
What lense do you use for canon ae-1
0:38
wow i really need to get me a ae-1 looking super nice
or just any other slr with a nice lens..
Great video!
Cheers!
Im SHOCKED that the comments express better pics from the Canon than the iphone.
I think the AE-1 has more soul and captures on the more warm side of the spectrum. Nothing wrong with the iPhone at all tho.
I love the Canon Ae1 photos😩😍
What is your friend's camera on 3:54 ?
Did you shoot the AE-1 manually or just in Program mode?
Manual :)
Hi, you seem like you'd know the asnwer to my question. I have an issue where the lab scans I get back are always sorta devoid of the personality you expect from film. I shot about 4 rolls of 120 fuji 400h and the colors I got (even when exposed +1 or +.5) looked like bland, unedited digital images. Do you think this is the fault of the lab doing my scans? I'm planning to get my own scanner (mainly to save money) and I'm wondering if that is going to fix it. I understand that a little color correction in post is necessary but these images literally just look devoid of personality.
It's really hard to say, I made a video not loo long ago with the AE-1 vs a Pixel phone and those shots came out looking really bland. I thought it was the scans at first but then it turned out my camera battery was really low and over exposing the metering...
Hey just throwing in my 2 cents :)
Pro400h (especially in 120) is very unsaturated and lower in contrast so the resulting images can be edited to the taste of most any photographer. Over exposing will lead to even less saturation and contrast but more detail (particularly shadow detail).
Perhaps you should try a more contrasty & saturated film like Lomo 800 or Ektar 100 :)
Your AE1 is consistently over exposing by one to two stops outdoors. 400 is too fast which is blowing out your blue skies. If you want a better comparison use 100-200 ASA and enlarge.
Can I just say, this camera is from the 70s and is better than future cameras. They be working ahead of time😅
nice content
!
film has as much to do with exposure than it does with the scanning. you dont even mention that and thats the really important bit....
Some of those film camera shots look as if they are slightly over exposed compared to the iPhone.
What iso did you shoot at with the ae-1 and portra 400?
400
amazing
Did you scan the film 35mm or photo lab?
Sent it off to a photolab
