Honestly.... how INSANE is this log footage?

Apple has won me back after 10 years of Android with this. It's insane to know that the hardware hasn't changed, they've just given the option to bypass the awful processing (sometimes it's good but almost always overdone) and that this was technically possible all along. They should just change the standard video mode, or at least a "natural" option in the camera app to Apple log with a baked in rec.709 lut (or even a selection of luts) without the processing and then made into a regular size video file.

Good stuff man, really enjoyed the comparisons and info presented! Keep killing it Tom!🤟🏼🔥

in my opinion the standard should be graded too for the right comparison! With my old 13 pro max I used to decrease brightness and contrast, adjust the white balance and saturation and the result was a lot better than the straight out standard video! I would say closer to log graded than standard that I've seen in this video!

Great point with the skin tones. The transition from the light and dark parts of your skin was actually dramatically better on the Sony. Such a good creative tool for film makers and documentarians.

Log is not a color space...a color profile includes a transfer function (like SLog3) + a color space (Sony uses S-Gamut). The log portion is controlling the gamma curve (which is a curve because its defined by a logarithmic function), which records the brightness information, which is why it's related to Dynamic Range (the brightest and darkest parts of the captured image). It is basically a way of compressing that luminance information. Apple Log is using the Rec.2020 Color Space combined with their own Transfer Function. The image looks "flat" and "washed out" because it is compressing the tonal range of the scene into the limited bit-depth of the video file in a specific, reversible way. It's basically just encoding and decoding. tldr - log affects luminance (brightness), color space affects chrominance (color).

Fantastic comparison!!

Absolutely amazing video. You must have put so much work into it! The most interesting thing for me is the h265 trick, that looks really awesome. Thanks a lot!

please drop a video on how you colourgrade your footage!! and if you have any luts

Amazing. did you grade with a lut?

Most of the people on here have zero idea of log format and it’s intentional soft look to make it film like.

Any thoughts on manually grading LOG footage on the iPhone in the native Photos app? If you’re really running and gunning it could be really handy to grade one clip and then copy/paste other clips with the grade…

nice vid, you should do a video rigging up the iphone 15 pro using shiftcam lenses, nd,mist filters, additional storage...

Hey Tom, I have been meaning to buy Fuji X-S20. As a beginner I mainly depend on what experts like you think about the new cameras (X-S20 and a6700). I see your videos regularly and I trust your review. Will you be able to make a video comparing different specs of both the cameras? I am pretty sure my confusion will be cleared after watching your video since I trust your opinon. Cheers for your work 😀

I have a problem with the iPhone video camera; it is very good but I notice a downside, my dog ​​shows it far too white, any idea how to solve that or is there little you can do about it? It kind of ruins my videos, way too white.

Hey Tom, just watched a couple of your videos on the new iPhones and am wondering if you have advice on choosing between the Pro and Pro Max. My main concern is missing out on the 5x zoom, but I like the smaller form factor of the regular Pro.

PERFECT 👍👍👍

Great information thank you! Could you also suggest a good app/software to use for colour grading a pro res video ?

does s23 have pro log?

Wow amazing. I love the S23 Ultra's video but the video on iPhone in Pro Res Log looks much better. This just shows that more resolution does not necessarily mean overall better video quality. Great work!!!

Found your video while searching for reviews about LOG. Excellent quality and informative! Subscribed 🎉 My question, would you recommend the 15 Pro or the 15 Pro Max? Is it worth the extra $$ for the 5x lens + better battery for the Pro Max for photography and videography?

I like this phone. Its like best phone for being proffesional backup camera

Amazing comparison video! Did you use any ND filter to shoot those scenes? If yes, what filter did you use? Any recommendations?

Yep you dont need the fancy 8k thing, and you only need is a bad-ass quality ProRes LOG

You didn't mention what lens you are using on your a7siii which is relevant

Subscribed ! Question(s). Can a 1tb iPhone 15 bypass the need to film with an SSD on the camera body and just off load the 1TB to the SSD when it’s full? And then you’d just need a 1tb iPhone and an attachment for an ND filter and use Blackmagic and internal LUT? If so I’m getting one today!

Awesome! So this is all in camera? You didnt have an SSD connected? I need a tutorial on how to grade ProRes footage when I get the 15 Pro Max. I wasn't aware you needed to get it into REC709 first.

The log format on iphone it's just INSANE! But did you record in the expert raw app on s23U? Because it reduces the AI processing, giving a more natural aspect to the video and photos.

3:56 I am looking at the weather outside your window. It's so bleak ! Can you grade that into looking sunny ? Have had my 15 pro max for less than a week and I love that I now have log on my smartphone too. Log isn't new to me. Have been using it for 4+ years thanks to my fantastic Lumix S1 but it's great to have it on my 'B cam' too. Well done, Apple.

Does the Blackmagic app allow to record in prores log without using an external SSD?

Is there a way to setup shortscuts to autograde the log footage in the photos app?

I really like the apple iphone 15 pro max but im so in love wiht my s23 ultra its been so good to me i think ima just wait to see wut the s24 ultra will bring ❤

Hello Tom! Excellent video! I saw that you also have the S23 Ultra and would like to see a raw footage fight between it and the iPhone. Yes, the S23 also shoots in RAW, directly on the SSD, with support for all lenses, using the MotionCam app :) So far I haven't found any comparison between these two features :/

Hi, Does iPhone 15pro has 3xzooming in cinematic mode ??

You're the only person who showed that you can shoot HEVC with the LOG profile.

how about song sony Xperia

I would still argue that the Sony Xperia 1 series rivals the iPhone and any other smartphone in video when we're talking about log amd editing. And still one of the few phones that shoot 4k120fps from all the rear lenses.

How was the battery life when filming with ProRES?

Any overheating issue have or not

Maybe a stupid question. What app do you use to apply theLUT?

You should compare with pro mode on Samsung for less sharpening

Damn - That is actually serious

8:48 🖤

Increasing camera photos to 24mp output from 12mp is a big change from only 12mp of last year’s 14

Would love to see a Sony Xperia 1V or 5V in a photographer or filmmaker review.

The Google Pixel 8 Pro's 'video boost' looks very interesting

nice one, i’m from brighton too

Just imagine Tom - all Sony tones and vibe in iPhone..

Hey man, could you possibly give MotionCam on android a try? It can make almost any android shoot RAW video on all lenses, Pixels and Samsungs are especially well supported. Would love to see it compared with Apple's Prores, I think it could give it a real run for it's money! Love your vids :)

brother how is the battery backup of pro ?

Can you "correct" and "grade" the Apple ProRes LOG all on the iPhone 15 Pro itself or have it do it automatically? And if so, how?

I wish there was a way to get rid of those little lens flares.

im about to finance a locked iPhone 15 just for the camera..

waiting here for the pixal one

Impressive, and as an iPhone 15 Pro Max owner (Titanium-Blue) owner I’m happy with my purchase. I agree on all fronts, but I have to give credit where credit is due. @12:14 you show a comparison of the iPhone 15 Pro (Max?) & Galaxy S23 Ultra. Unless the naming of the footage was a mistake, I prefer the S23’s result as it looks more professional.

That is exactly the reason I sold my Samsung Galaxy Ultra just a few months of using it, Samsung just can't do videos well.

You get a professional workflow from iphone and compare with a newbie workflow on Samsung.. why don't you compare with raw video on android?

Is it the 15 pro max?

hmm, seems just make it look warmer? isn’t it same as changing the WB to get the same result?? 🤔

I don’t see the average consumer spending all this time editing their videos.

Ez a log profile már évekkel ezelőtt volt Androidra Filmic Pro alkalmazásban.Nem egy nagy áttörés.😂😂😂

If you use an iPhone and call yourself a “filmmaker”.. I think that’s the most pathetic thing ever. Just my honest take.

You can tell he hasn't used a Sony xperia. Or raw in Samsung. Apple marketing is Amazing

Its so funny to see iphone users going crazy with things that we already have on android. Make a comparison between the apple prores log and the s23 using the mcpro24fps in the highest settings😂. Welcome to 2019 apple users

Nah.. I like the S23U's video more, it gives a cinematic vibes unlike ip15pm, for me it's kind of over exposed a little.

You are a bias apple guy

Hate me, but the normal image on the left (at round 2:00) looks better to me.

Nah, just people keep hyping it, still looks like phone quality, all that big storage for somewhat better looking yet only able to do it in daylight, all the hype make normal non techie people think shot in it will make it can replace dedicated high end camera completely, a real camera in the normal video file with log which will produce normal file size yet still can grade and looks actually good and cinematic, it haven't able to replace dedicated camera, a lot people use iPhone to film to show its capability for views and hypes and not actually use it to film a movie, it only replace or just an actual reliable option when people and film industry actually use it film and not to prove it can do it as well, standard iPhone is good enough, spend the extra money on a dedicated camera and you will get a lot better image quality and actually learn photography and videography, all these hypes filling people to spend so much on the best and newest iPhone each year just for the slight improvement, your age still ticking and aging, get a dedicated camera and use the phone for long rather than brainwash to just to fund them to build real capable smartphone camera which still going to years to come and you wasted your younger age on smartphone quality photo and video and not just record your life on already available dedicated camera quality

99.9% of iPhone users will not be using this feature, much less need it currently. 1 Minute of 4K footage is about 6 GB, not only is that a lot but the worse issue is getting it off the phone. You're going to spend a good 45min to an hour trying to get off 15 minutes of footage to edit. For average users, just not practical.🙂

2:00 pro res log actually looks shit in comparison.

pro 15 has worse camera than pro 14. take a shot zoom in and see.

nice video

I think I'm the first viewer
