Tons of iPhone vids on the way 🙌

The ProRes log footage is game changing. It's unsettling how similar to the full frame it is.

I have a 15 pro and an Olympus micro four thirds camera. The iPhone is impressive but it falls over in darker scenes and anything that requires zooming or cropping into a scene. The video is superb though. But at the end of the day best camera is the one you have with you. So the iPhone usually wins but times I wish I had my Oly that’s back home in its bag.

Your reviews not only showcase the technical capabilities but also the artistic potential of each device through your stunning imagery. ❤

Loved this video keep up the work bro 🔥

I loved carrying my camera around until I had kids. I couldn’t lug their stuff around and the camera gear. Plus, I no longer have time to sit on Lightroom. So I remind myself with the iPhone, “it’s composition and lighting, not pixels.”

Great video. You should definitely try shooting in RAW and change the profile from Apple ProRaw to Adobe in Lightroom - the "HDR" effect will disappear and the photo looks more like it's from a pro camera. I would really appreciate it if you would provide RAW files for download like you provided for the iPhone 14. Thanks a lot!🖤

helpful video thanks!

Quick question,would you say that the 24MP HEIF photo from iPhone 15 Pro is comparable to iPhone 14 Pro raw photo? Is there much of a difference in terms of HDR processing in between these two? 3:23

Knew this video would be coming. It didn’t disappoint 😀

It would be really interesting to get a folder with the original pics from the phone! Do you think you could share it with us? (Asked the same question on the Pixel 8 Pro video since I'm evaluating whether to buy a P8P or an iphone 15 pro)

this comparision is needed, while doing 15x zoom is it only using main camera or main camera + telescope? because telescope lens uses only upto 5x, but how 15 x is better in 15 pro max than 15 pro, because both sensors are main sensors and using same camera and algorithm, if I am wrong please correct me any one. and every nX zoom need to be tested (1x, 2x,3x,4x, 4.9x, 5x,and all compare with pro model) and video zoom too, video zoom is same in both models. so compare them with stabilization. and every zoom level portrait edge and how the depth effect is. Test the zoom levels with text details where light is uneven/and even

Adding portrait unsharpness in post: is it only possible in HEIC Format or also in Raw?

Now this is quality content! Good job Tom!

I wonder how the images would compare if you would use the "Rich Contrast" photographic style on your iPhone. Unfortunately, in most reviews, people don't even mention that these exist. In my opinion, this is a great way to get rid of that typical iPhone HDR look with boosted shadows.

0:56 you can tell this is the Sony - the clouds are blown out. 😂

It’s crazy how similar the footage is to an expensive professional camera 🎥

i wonder if the iPhone 14pro can get a software update and be able to shoot log video too 🤔

i wonder if trying a photography app in iphone would change anything for you instead of doing apples automatic exposure and focus something like halide

you can tell the cam b is the iphone, phones still have a lot of work to do with computational photography

Keep going ❤

Great work. Would be cool to see the full RAW 48mp shots compared to the sony.

7:14 I did a double take when you said this was from the Sony, felt vindicated a few seconds later when you said it was actually from the iPhone haha

The 28mm/35mm modes on the new iPhone are not really digital zoom - since the sensor is 48MP and the output is 24MP, you're still using more pixels in the sensor than the output resolution. It's almost like an actual zoom lens, except you're changing the sensor size instead of the glass.

Is there another way to prevent the iphone 15 pro from post processing the pictures and make them more natural except for shooting in raw? Like change settings or use another camera app?

Idk it its my MacBook screen but can you tell me why it appears to me as if the moving shorts are animated like a shaky frame and not a smooth movement at 9:02 and even the city shot.. please can answer this query?

I thought I would bring up, around 3:45 ish in the video you state that the Hief 48mp on the iPhone 15 pro is less sharp then the RAW mode on the 14 pro, and while this is true, there is a 48mp raw mode for the iPhone 15, so that sharpness can be achieved.

Okay but the “preference thing”… can’t you just lower the exposure to -1.0 or so and can’t you change the overall look to make it “more professional” with photographic styles? Because on my old iPhone 11 I notice I just needed to leave it at -1 or -1.5 to make it normal. Otherwise iPhone always over-exposes everything like hell

I have the iPhone 14 pro max for holidays because of the size but for professional filming only my FX6 😅👍🏻🎥

When I travel I have my iphone 10 MAX and my 2012 NIKON D3000. I really need to cut the cord of the huge camera as its such a pain to haul around. When I take pictures I take them to look at when I get home and also I like to print out 8x10 to hang on my wall. The pictures I take with the iphone and print out 8x10 turns out great. Even 12x18 long pics turn out great. Some people say printing out iPhone pics makes the prints distorted, but not in my experience. When I take 1000 pics on my Nikon is takes of about 3GB. Same amount of pics on my iphone takes of 25 gb?? Why is this. When I look at them both and print them both out they look the same. So I have hung onto my Nikon since it takes up so much less space on my 12 year old computer than the iphone pics. Is this a reason to continue to use my dinosaur Nikon?

Thx for testing But pls Upload the Original files for Analyse. Thx

Hello Brother, I would like buy an iPhone 15 pro for filmmaking (videography). How many hours can i expect battery life in the iPhone 15 pro. Can you please reply for this comment soon...?

Always love the sony tone and its sharpness

Do a comparison with the X100S brothaaaa

Some of the shots where the sky was in the background, the iPhone gave better dynamic range which is just amazing to see.

nice video and all , but I find the shutter sound when switching photos to be disturbing a lot maybe you should lower the volume of it or just get rid of it completely, thanks

i suspected when you said that log footage was from sony beacuse of the exposure transition to bright part. I was like waitttt a second.

how do you think the iphone would stack to a a7 iii? that only has 8bit color and 30fps 4k? is there any reason to get a "cheap" mirrorless anymore?

At 8:20 the man diference is the motion blur, phones can never replicate this as good as a pro camera.

Good video. I really like the new iPhone’s ability to take great photos in ideal lighting conditions. Glad that the gap (Smartphone cameras and professional cameras) is slowly getting closed. Nonetheless, the mirrorless / DSLRs are undergoing the same pace of rapid technological advancements as the smartphone photography. This means the gap will continue to remain 😊.

The 28, 35, and 48mm crops you get from the 48MP sensor aren't 'digital crops'. They are lossless sensor crops in 24MP, which is the new default resolution of the primary camera (in 24, 28, 35, and 48mm).

But are the file sizes better compared to Sony's Slog3 10bit 4:2:2 XAVC H or HS with a normal SD Card (not a CFExpess Type A card) ?? Like I really wanna know, Apple says 1 min of ProRes Log is around 6 GB so I am curious since I don't have a mirrorless yet. How would this 1 min footage compare to 1 min of Slog3 or S-cinetone

does the 35mm dogital crop have optical features like lens compression of a real 35mm lens? also, can you shoot raw photos in 35mm mode? (or at of those other two digital crops for that matter) (edit: please mention these features in the full review if possible)

After seeing this amazing video, I've decided that the DSLR's/Mirrorless "professional" cameras will always be superior. Now, that iPhone is $1199 & the camera rig is $5,000. The iPhone is a phone with a ton of other used cases. Cameras will always win & I thought it was close to be honest. It's obvious which is the SONY A7IV and which was the iPhone. Great video.

smartphone camera these days are incredible. Started filmmaking using smartphones. Looks like I want to go back.

This is why I take a photographers advice on if an iPhone camera is good. Even big KZfaqrs like MKBHD suck at taking photos and explaining them. lol Thanks for this!

7:21 Man, I was watching in 144p no joke and I realised that there was some difference in footage due to the continuous exposure adjustments.

The level of detail I get with my canon r5 and 70-200 are night and day compared to the latest iPhone cameras. I upgraded from a XS and wasn’t super impressed with the images until I realized you had to turn on Raw Max in order to get the 48MP images. I can definitely tell there’s a significant improvement from the XS, but I agree that the pro cameras still take noticeably better photos, especially when there’s a clear subject like a person or a product or something like that. The detail and natural depth of field you get with the larger pro camera setup is still very much lacking on even the newest iPhones. I think it’s just a form factor issue. The more glass the better. I’m a little surprised they haven’t added an actual zoom lens (one that visibly protrudes while zooming in or out). Again, form factor comes into play. They want to keep these devices as thin as possible. Oh well, I’ve got my fancy camera for the really important shots.

1:00 on the top of the screen it shows iPhone 14 Pro Ultrawide but you say its the iPhone 15 Pro

The OVERSHARPENING on iPhones in standard Photo, Video Mode is a true Nighmare these days, Apple has to change that. ProRes Log is the way, finally fpr Video

Try iphone 15 pro max and use its 5x telephoto lense please

Exactly the video we were searching for to decide if the iPhone 15 Pro Max is worth it. 😍 Thanks! 🙏 Subbed for more. 🔔

You look like Rashford😂❤

My friend said to me that when customer want a video of a wedding and say my friend is expensive he say look for cheaper iphone videographer.

I've watched your videos for the S24U and iphone 15 pro max. If you could only pick one, photo and video wise. Which phone would you choose?

can pro max record in 3 cameras at 4k 60 fps at the same video without interrupting recording ... or only in one camera

I think the main thing apple needs to fix across all iPhones specially the 15 Pros for this year is that super ugly inaccurate yellow tint that HDR applies to anything with white color on your photo, it’s been a totally unnecessary annoying thing that is really holding iPhone back from really showing its potential against the mirrorless cameras.

I guess for a $1000 phone it’s pretty good as compared to a $5000 pro DSLR

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!

professional cameras still has that "depth" that no smartphone can capture, don't know if it come from the lenses or what, but there's something there...

Can drop a dslr😂 interesting iPhone features though

i love london!

Trying really hard to make the a7 sound good lol but most of the picture for real I rather pick the pixel

How many gb do you choose iPhone 15pro

3:03 bro is having an ictus

dont use log if you have no idea how to color grade it

Try them both in football match😅

A phone camera is never going to be able to match the performance of the massively bigger lens and sensor size of a pro level camera. That being said they have pretty much wiped out the compact camera market and unless you really need pro level images they are more than capable for 90% of people

Why don't people talk about color science in Apple devices? why, when compared with Sony cameras (even old ones), their color is many times more pleasant and natural. On the iPhone, the colors in the photo have a green tint, a terrible HDR effect. as well as a complete absence of shadows. It looks disgusting. And this is the best mobile camera in the world? haha! any way thx for video

Been watching your videos since a while now. I love your content but it gets very distracting very quickly when the shutter sound is over used. I'm sure it takes a while to edit in as well. Maybe we can do away with that? Beautiful comparison otherwise. Also, maybe some BGM? it balances out the audio and some gaps would be lovely been the talk track.

Let's do this with pixel 8 pro 🤘

Did u faced any color shadding issue ???

15 Pro max vs dslr

No one is talking about the new Macro function. I can take a picture of the pixel in my monitor.

Seems to me, that a Ricoh gr iii beat all your equipment. Not video indeed

I don’t care what anyone tells you “high eff” is the best way to pronounce hief

You should have got the pro max. I think the max is the only one that has the 5x zoom lense

A lot of these phone camera reviews aren't that honest and clear enough for non tech people, they are good now but still phone quality, you can shoot log but it is in ProRes file which is impractically huge yet the quality is not consistent in all lighting, you can get a dedicated camera which can get lower file size yet still in log and get actual decent consistent cinematic quality and actually learn further in photo and videography, the phone cameras are for people's convenient and unwillingness to further their knowledge and just want to stay and overpaid in the hyped zone and don't leave the garden to explore the bigger worlds. All these capabilities in it are just to show and support developments of its future potentials than an actual current full replacement of dedicated tools, you can use it to do what it's marketed and thrilled and get new one each year for slightly improvement but in same time you are aging and missed out to use actual readily available dedicated camera to record your life in good scalable quality. Just get the base iPhone and use for as long as you could for phone stuffs and get a dedicated camera to widen your view in shootings plus you able to grow emotional attachment and appreciation to your devices that way too.

Never shoot in a compressed format if you want to push the camera. My 48mp images on the 15 pro max are around 60 plus mb because I have to have the best quality.

Not a good comaprison. He's matching the camera lensing to the Iphone. If he mount a eg. 50 or 100 mm f1.8 or 1.4 then there would be no comparisons at all. Quite misleading. Mirrorless and DSLR cameras have bigger sensors and lenses that cannot be replicated using tiny cell phone sensors. Sure AI in smartphones can do portrait blurs but it's not even close if you see a comparison with a real bokeh. Add to that all the manual controls you have on a pro camera. Anyway, different devices for different use case.

focus eyes to falcon flies to 250 Miles per hour

why nobody does iphone vs $1000 camera (including lens)... more fair

I remember people saying years ago phones would never match DSLRs. I knew they were wrong but it's nice to be vindicated haha.

In the end, the photographer--and not the camera--makes the picture great. i'll stick with my Canon 6D; 1400+ for a multi-purpose phone isn't worth it, to me.

0:59 15*

iPhone is for point-and-shoot with all the smart computational photography stuff. Professional camera is for professionals, that's it. Let's just edit some of the RAW files of the Sony (the way this camera's files should be used) and see which result is better... ;) :D

iPhone XX Pro max or Galaxy SX Ultra or anything will NEVER ever be able to beat a proper camera. It's goddamn fact.

Great video. I think that there is no smartphone that could replace a professional camera and lenses setup, these are "day and night". Also, because of the sensor size and the insane low light capabilities of the sony a7siii, this is a "day and night" comparison - the real camera has a huge obvious advantage in low light and night photography. This particular phone, the IPHONE 15 pro max is very expensive, and has a relatively capable camera setup for a casual photography in good light, but...the phone is not, and NEVER will be a real camera, a real photography tool for a pro or an enthusiast photographer. And also I think that apsc camera, like a sony a6700 or a fuji xt5 with some good selection of the apsc lenses will beat the iphone (or any other phone) hands down. If I go for a trip and I want to capture those moments, I definitely will take my a6700 with lenses in my bag. It is no brainer

Nah, camera did almost perfect job at keeping things interesting, by showing it's actual beauty, where iphone was merely pretending.

3:28 looks edited even tho its not

Love how this phone is being reviewed like it has brand new cameras. We now have info from breakdowns, and they are using the same exact cameras they have on the iPhone 14 pro max, just made the 3x lens 5x.

Sony makes the camera sensor for iPhone so Sony win eather way😂

So you’re not covering the biggest addition to the camera ? Telephoto 5x riiiiiiiggt

Quality is fine for a few years already but the colors are garbage. What setting should I use to make iPhone photos colors look like what was actually there? I.E.: more like what my eyes see.

35mm GANG

Consumer grade mirror less isn’t “pro”

Should I sell my cannon 750d and upgrade my iPhone 12?!

There are mad people in this world who excessively feels that they have something to to always prove.

This is not a fair comparison - Sony SLRs are crap.

What is "professional" anymore? The day will come when even people will give up bulky cameras.
