Hey, I hope you enjoyed the video! If you guys want an actual review of the FH-25 rather than just this comparison, and you want to see some real-world sample images, check out my written review: jpolak.org/photo/retro-review-panasonic-dmc-fh25-dmc-fs35/
On wide fh25 equals to 28mm f/18.5, while this iPhone equals to 29mm f/16 (I count FOV & DOF equivalence). yep it has 28.9842 mm lens, not 28. For light gathering that's f/3.3 vs f/2.2. So despite the smaller sensor iPhone has slightly shallower DOF and brighter optics. Comparison on longer lengths won't be fair but you didn't do that, good. Did you try shooting RAW on this iPhone or using manual settings to match ISO/shutter speed of fh25? There are free apps like "Shoot" (overly simplistic, does RAW shooting all params - auto), "RAW Camera" (allows full manual control and you can still shoot jpeg) or paid apps like "ProCam" (neater UI but does same job as "RAW Camera"). By at least matching ISO/shutter speed with fh25 pictures you'll get more adequate comparison. Also if could be helpful to compare how both cameras perform in good light, outdoors for example. And how they handle high dynamic range scenes (bright skies & deep shadows).
Thank you very much for your input. I wasn't sure this video would get any attention so I made a bit of a quick comparison, but I think your suggestions are awesome and I will incorporate some of your suggestions into future comparisons! Also, I didn't try Raw on the iPhone since I just wanted to compare stock features, and I figured that was fair since the Panasonic doesn't have Raw either.
