  • This week I’m in Italy on the Amalfi Coast, doing some photography with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I've been impressed with the camera in it since it came in the post a few months back, so I thought it was time to put it through its paces in some challenging conditions, namely harsh light!

    Image quality wise? For most use cases, a phone is probably more than enough. But I think the reason most of us like photography is the experience of getting the shot, not the shot itself, having fine control over the entire process and being purposeful in your actions is very rewarding, and in my opinion does lead to better photos

      I agree, I think. The iPhone 14 Pro is imperfect - mostly due to the difficult-to-avoid "computational photography" processing that often involves hideous amounts of sharpening and lack of real actual RAW output. On the other hand, it's also shockingly capable. In 48mp "RAW", it really is quite good. Fun test, take identical pix at 12mp and 48mp RAW and look at them and see how processed the 12mp is vs the 48mp. I much prefer using an actual camera to take pictures with intent, and love having a phone that can take great pictures if "it's the camera I have with me".

      Bollocks. Maybe iPhone 14 pro, but on the iPhone 13 and the camera is garbage. Zoom in or do anything and it’s a pixelated mess. Don’t know how people actually get good quality out of an iPhone compared to an actually camera.

      @@kevinwhite6176 Hi, do you mean that ProRAW is not a real actual RAW output. I'm curious what do you define as real RAW ? As I understand between the sensor and the RAW file, there are processing done by the camera. And I don't know what Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc... are doing there. To your knowledge what does Apple do in ProRAW format that doesn't fit what you call real RAW ? Thank you :)

      Ergonomics and having a dedicated device for the purpose are my biggest priorities honestly. I really dislike using touchscreens for taking photos and even phones with shutter buttons like Sony's just don't feel good to use in my hand.
      Add to that natural, physical controls without digging into menus and the fact I've yet to find a good film simulation-like photo app for the phone and I just don't enjoy the experience at all. Maybe if there was something that combined manufacturer-provided software corrections with quality custom presets, I'd give the Xperias a serious shot but as-is, it's just not worth the compromise to me. I also hate to hand edit every single photo but any phone's automatic processing (or raw output) just isn't to my liking at all.
      It's hardly even "image quality" I'm concerned with because of online compression, it's literally just haptics and lack of customisation which especially the latter shouldn't be this hard to fix 😶

    Being an avid hiker, I sometimes use my iPhone for wide angle shots and leave my wide angle lens at home, depending on what else I might carry on a given day. When I do this, I always shoot with ProRAW enabled and have come away with some very good photos after editing. I don't use JPEG/HEIC for anything other than snaps. I find the phone's processing to often be oversaturated and oversharpened.

    I have a DSLR but i just got the Iphone 14 Pro, and i was hyped about taking pictures with it-so a few days ago, on my last trip to London, i just dumped the DSLR and took only the phone. I had 0 regrets, for a citybreak expericene it was more than enough, the pictures were incredibly detailed and perfectly exposed and i loved the ideea of having an ultra compact camera from which i can instantly send pictures to my friends on social media. Ill keep the DSLR for specialized photography like macro shots of insects in nature but for 90% of my trips and travels, the mobility of the phone combined with the top quality of the photos makes it the perfect choice. I think this is the future of DSLR and mirrorless: specialized photography( macro, astro, studio or advanced product photography) for the rest of the situations, the modern flagship phones with their advanced cameras and AIs will be more than enough.

  • @goodwolf152

    Just speculating, but I would guess that Apple went with the wider lens so they could improve their digital stabilization, which was a big marketing point of these phones.

    • @ToddPangburn
      @ToddPangburn ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I'm pretty sure the wider focal length is a compromise between being able to fit a larger sensor into a phone without making the camera bump too thick.

    • @hoodie3810
      @hoodie3810 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'd also guess they decided to go wider because with 40MP, they can very easily apply digital zoom. Most users wouldn't need 40MP or notice the loss on a cropped image.

    I need a camera, I really hate the shooting experience on phones. Even with a Sony Xperia... which, at least, has a shutter button. It's not that they can't take decent pics, I just don't find it fun.

    • @KennyYau5093

      I had the Xperia as well, I did really appreciate the shutter button. Unfortunately the buttons started breaking and it was out of warranty so I had to replace it.
      Though it had a lot of things going for it I just couldn't stomach the price again. I'm on a pixel 6 pro now, and some of the images I get are very usable but lose detail very quickly when you push them. Even when shooting raw. I guess because even though it's advertised as a 50MP camera, it's quad-bayer and is binned down to 12.5MP.
      I find that although it has preserved and captured some priceless memories. I just wish I could have captured them with more detail and I can't go back and recapture those moments, and that's why I think I need a camera.

    I also miss the days of 28mm phone main cameras. They went to 26mm and now 24mm, which I find way too wide for what 90% of my phone photos are (pictures of people taken at around 1 meter). I'm pretty sure the focal length is a compromise between being able to fit larger camera sensors into a phone without making the camera bump too thick.

The scooter and wall of flowers, never would have placed the scooter so far into the corner. Once again, it works. Thanks.

Might i suggest using the mobile Lightroom app? It lets you shoot manual and raw files. Great content and photos as always James!

    A couple of years ago, I replaced my aging Google Pixel 3XL with a Nokia XR20, (Zeiss Lens, plus Nokia Camera software). One of my reasons for upgrading form my old Pixel to the Nokia was that, unlike Google phones, the Nokia can accommodate a MicroSD card, whereas the Google Pixel requires the user to setup and maintain his/her own personal Google account, along with cloud storage, (at a price, naturally).
    One particular feature of the Pixel phone was that the user could set the camera to save one's photos as RAW (.dng), and as JPEG (.jpg) files simultaneously, and, (IIRC), the RAW photos were saved in the phone's internal storage area, whilst the JPEGs were also saved into their own internal folder, as well as being uploaded to Google Drive. For some reason, the logic of which I can't fathom, the RAW files were not saved to Google Drive by default, but I seem to remember that there was some way to specify that the RAW files be saved automatically to Google Drive along with the JPEGs, (but I'm no longer 100% sure of that).
    Since that time, I have not found another phone camera which has such an option.

Is it the shame of thinking that someone will see the real, live, James Popsys shooting on a phone?” 2. My “best camera” is a full frame 12mp D700. Do you think a 40mp jpeg should look better than a 12mp raw file? I mostly watch your videos on a 10” iPad. Sometimes I don’t even go full screen. I just watch the videos in a corner of the screen while I read the comments. Results from a 6mp camera (raw or jpeg) might look the same on a small screen.

    Ah yes. iPhone 14 Pro Max.
    Phones are good as cameras only if it is something really expensive like this one.
    With cameras... well in my opinion you can buy an old DSLR with a good enough lens (e.g. Canon 550D with 50mm or some old Tamron/Sigma 28-75/24-70) and it will be much cheaper than your phone and still make decent photos.
    Yeah it's much bulkier but in my case the phone is around $200 and my camera gear around same price (maybe a little more) and I'm not gonna switch it to any top-tier phone just becase of photo capabilities.

    agreed with the 24mm main camera... I went from using an Iphone SE 2020 and iphone 8+ which were both 28mm, to an iphone 12 pro max which is 26mm and slightly too wide IMO. I checked out my partners 13 pro max which has the 24mm and hate it... add to that that it does away with the 2x (50mm-ish) lens and has a 3x. So you've got a 13mm that I've never seen anyone use, a 24mm that's too wide for "normal", and a 75mm thats ok for some stuff but not as practical and versatile as the 50ish from previous cameras. I really hope apple go back to a 28 or 30mm and a 50ish on the iphone 15, ideally get rid of the ultrawide 13mm and do the 77mm again but that's not a deal breaker... lets go apple!

    My argument is and always will be this - it doesn't matter how good a phone camera is, as long as it's sensor is smaller than say, a full frame, it's quality will be inferior to the full frame. Whatever physical sensor tech advances is built into the phone camera, surely the same tech will be available to the much larger camera sensors too. Any post processing and computational processing the phone does, can be done better on the larger camera with AI and other imaging software. The bigger camera sensor simply has a higher quality low light and detail performance than the smaller phone sensor. At the same time, I am very happy that phone cameras are so much better, making them a nice tool when your camera is not around

    Men you get typical oversharpened images with this setup. Oh yes great for snapshooters and the likes. If oversharpened digital photos is your thing its great as well.
    But it does not replace a camera and lens without AI sharpening and such.
    But if you hit Flickr and search up iPhone 1 and any smatphone after that you will find awesome pictures taken.
    You dont need gear gear gear you need composition, light and perspective.
    So for many a smartphone does it, there is definately no reason to buy a compact camera with zoom lens, the Phone replaces that.
    But it does not replace an interchangable lens camera, and its goes without saying actually.

    No phones have a decent camera !!! Presets are crap, there are millions of different types of light situations, so presets will not match everything !

    Great video mate. Very much agree. As a hobby photographer, the main (if not the only) thing that stops me just spending on the best iPhone to max the phone camera experience and ditch a mirrorless is the focal length issue as you stress. I just can't get on board with 24-ish mm, drives me mad! If we could get a main lens quality at a 35/40mm I'd struggle to ever justify camera gear/extra workflow for my use case. All the best from Ceredigion!

    Nice to see a photographer say they're doing 'some photography with their iPhone', instead of 'taking photos' with their iPhone. There is a difference.

    For me I find my phone does take excellent shots. It's the ergonomics thst are more of an issue than camera quality now. Recently I bought an inexpensive phone grip that adds a shutter button and a more camera like hand hold. It's neat.

    Hi James. I’d always prefer a 24mm over a 28mm. Just saying.

    It honestly looks good enough to compete with compact cameras like the G7X or ZV1. I might be inclined to use a phone if it had a flip up screen to use the best lens for selfies, and it had a built in ND and a good optical zoom range. As it stands 48mp or not I think I'll stick with the extra utilities of the G7X.

  • @pedros9875

    No need to export photos as dng to apply presets on mobile. Simply sync a collection with lr mobile and the photo shows up on lr mobile with the edits. At that point just create a preset on the phone. Voila :)

    I experienced the same switching from the iPhone 12 Pro Max to the 14 Pro Max. It was the first time the pictures felt like normal pictures. And dynamic range is great and exposure just feels correct. With an attached g-grip you can hold the phone with much more confident and you get the feeling of a „normal“ camera.

  • @Johnlancaster
    @Johnlancaster ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’ve got one and it really is fantastic using the main lens and the portrait mode is quite interesting. Using it with Lightroom mobile it’s really slick and a fun workflow certainly for social media use, which I guess is what it’s going to be used for by the majority of buyers. If photography is your hobby or job your still going to want your gear, but this is in the pocket.

    I wish phones had some more useful lenses like 20mm + 40mm with a optional 85mm equivalent. In most cases you can do a panorama if you need a wider picture but its impossible to zoom in without loss of quallity. Thats the reason why i never bother to use my phone for anything useful. The main camera is just too wide, the wide angle even wider and the tele lenses are usually on the big phones

    Cracking location and I liked the fruit car image. Though heart in the mouth when you stood in the middle of the road. Did you get beeped at, at any point or did the drivers simply go round you?
    As for phones, I'm still using a Nokia 3.1. 13MP rear camera, 6 or 8 (can't remember which) front "selfie" camera. Video footage isn't bad, been using it to film my form at the gym, and it's great for snapshots, but no way would I use a phone for "proper" photography. There's no fun in it, plus try adjusting settings on a phone screen on a cold, rainy, windswept, late autumen/early winter hillside.

  • @DmitrijPaskevic
    @DmitrijPaskevic 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've been using Pixel phones for the last few years and they did me well. But after discovering the magic of Fuji and reminding myself how awesome shooting a dedicated camera can be, I simply switched to it full time. Phones are getting better (arguably we're almost at the tip end of the computational photography's capabilities), but it just removes the fun aspect of it for me.

    I just got S23 Ultra and I was really looking forward to see that camera that everyone is talking about and uhm.. it's like photos are being forced, pushed too far if you know what i mean. It's like that botox, fake eyebrows-ass-nails-makeup girls who took "beauty standards" waaay too far, whilst photo from camera looks like a beautiful natural girl. Idk, for now i'm sticking with my D7500.
