The lengths you went to to make sure everything was framed and edited the same way is absolutely astounding and very much appreciated. The amount of “comparisons” using completely different, unrelated images is ridiculous and you went the extra mile to make sure every example was as similar, and therefore, easier to compare, as possible.

[@twoshirts1]

Just returned from 2 weeks in China with IPhone 16 Pro set to ProRaw 48MP and JPEG-XL Lossy for 95% of shots, processed in Lightroom. Blown away that I no longer have to carry around my Olympus EM1 and 3 lenses, and instead carry around my DJI Mini 4 Pro drone. What an amazing setup to have with that degree of portability. Love the results I am getting. The main sensor is blows me away, and has so much capacity for cropping snapshots. Also totally love having the 5x zoom. Cannot stress enough the the difference between ProRaw and the default HEIF processed images. On the odd occasion I used HEIF in difficult conditions - e.g. panoramas, the results are quite unworkable in Lightroom. ProRaw in your pocket. is truly amazing.

This is the best pro camera vs iphone review on youtube. Stunning in depth tests etc. This is the way. I was watching this video on a 65 inch OLED tv and couldn't tell the difference between iPhone 16 Pro Max and Canon R5. Of course R5 is 1000% better at low light for obvious reasons but in daylight iPhone is 97% as good as R5. PS: Well done, Alex! Thank You for doing this! Extra plus for Ben Howard song. He's an amazing songwriter.

[@AlexArmitage]

[@SuchanBajracharya]

the thing is that phone’s camera is getting so much better and it is far more convenient carrying a phone than a bigger camera, i have stopped using bigger cameras all together as most of my images and videos end up in social media which is going to compress footage anyways. i think unless you are pixel peeping or looking for specific details like the shape of bokeh ball and rendition an average person will not be able to differentiate an image from phone vs a dedicated camera in a well lit environment so for me a phone camera is far more practical. thanks for this comprehensive review, just subscribed!

[@geoffstrickler]

You’re right about the sharpening on the iPhone 15 Pro vs 16 Pro, but both are really stunning results, especially when you have sufficient light. The compression options are pretty amazing. Would love to see comparisons between your R5 and the iPhone with the Reeflex lens.

The funny thing is that KZbinrs say that the iPhone has become at the level of professional cameras and they want to convince us of this, but they film their content with professional cameras whose price, with lenses, is several times higher to that of the telephone.

the majority of my videos are filmed on a camera that cost less an iphone from 3 years ago, including a lot of this video :)

[@Chromatomic]

There's always going to be increases in technology with better sensors and technology but the barrier to entry is smaller and smaller. Maybe you upgrade later but people don't need to invest thousands of dollars just to get started because the high-end is increasing at more marginal rates than the low-end.

Was able to tell right away which one was from your canon. The color isnt the same and the quality is cleaner.

[@ABullet520]

Even after youtube compression, and viewing very small images it was still very easy to tell what was cellphone and what was Canon. I couldn't really tell the difference between the cellphones. When you consider the horrible youtube compression and the size of the images, it did demonstrate to a point the very large difference in image quality. Honestly, the phones use exposure blending to accomplish their image, if you did the same thing with the camera the differences would be huge.

[@fpeezdoo9859]

Agree. I was watching on an iPad (relatively small display) and could tell the difference between the phone and the proper camera every single time. That’s why I’ve stopped worrying about new phone cameras (my old one is still fine for simple snapshots). My FF camera will always be light years ahead anyway.

[@adunford2664]

[@markattardo]

I did a quick unscientific wide angle test with a 15 & 16 pro max. I was hoping to see improvements towards the edges but saw similar results. I guess physics might be a limiting factor. Very interesting jpg info! I'm greedy and wanted all the data so I never experimented😂 After reading another comment about 3rd party apps not doing the apple processing (smearing apple sauce?), I feel like it might be worth some testing. I was playing with my GFs 16 pro max yesterday, the new side button does the half press and swipe features. Her case makes it awkward to use. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It's been informative and inspired me to do more experiments with our iPhones.👍👍

[@channelname-h4z]

I personally love the camera control, I do photography mostly for fun, but still try to get professional (ish) photos. I love the fact that I can get my camera prepped whithout missing the moment by looking at the screen. As far as the people who say that it introduces a shake... it definitly can, but you can very simply learn how to support it to eliminate 99% of that, I have actually found that I have more shake (handheld) with the on screen button then when I do a 'proper' camera control capture. Including in low light and at night. I work in videography and am a full time documentary editor, so I bought it for its professional video capabilitys which, are even more insane jumps than the photo abilitys. It is absolutely insane what apple LOG can do when applyed correctly.

[@justinjhune]

[@jacquelinescripps9987]

When comparing the wideshots, wouldn't the aperture make a difference in how “clean” the image looks?? The iPhone was at f2.2 and the Canon was at f8. If the iPhone was also at f8 how would that compare in sharpness?

[@AlexArmitage]

Great question! Two parts to the answer. iPhones cannot change their aperture. So this is the only option for aperture. Secondly, the aperture listed is misleading. Yes the aperture reads at f2.2 but this is for the tiny sensor of the iPhone. The equivalent aperture in practice on a 35mm sensor would be f13. You can input these conversions here: www.omnicalculator.com/other/crop-factor using the 1/2.5" sensor size. Kinda confusing but basically theres plenty in focus for the iPhone!

[@keirsinclair290]

I thought same thing Jac. I hope Alex reads this and gives us his thoughts. Maybe as part of the test, he doesn't manually choose aperture for each shot, just lets the phone and camera 'choose' it via 'auto'.

[@AlexArmitage]

It is a good color.

[@Nathan15038]

As an Apple fanboy, all I gotta say is the best part about the iPhone cameras is the fact that the iPhone isn’t just a camera. Like yes, the iPhone camera isn’t the best but the iPhone isn’t just a camera. It’s a phone. I’ve upgraded every year to a new flagship iPhone, and every year I get to use the best cameras from Apple in that year. The cameras were awesome but I find most use with just using the phone as a phone like browsing, watching videos like this one taking, calls, messaging, and everything else. So while they’re better cameras out there that are dedicated cameras, they aren’t as portable or as versatile as a phone would be in your daily life. I also would say iPhones are most likely cheaper than your dedicated cameras.😅😊

[@Behind_The_iPhone_Lens]

Alex, I dig your videos. Thank you for the time in putting this together! I am not a huge fan of Apple's computational processing that is done when utilizing the native camera app. This being said, it actually appears that the 16 Pro series phones have less over-sharpening and perhaps noise reduction built into the algorithm. Very interesting. I am also shooting more in Bayer RAW utilizing 3rd party apps such as Reeflex or Halide because of this. The softness you experienced on the iPhones (lack of detail relative to the Canon) could have been as a result of the built in noise removal in Apple's algorithm. In my experience, this processing tends to "gum up" some of the finer details of the image. I am finding that shooting in Bayer RAW, more details in the shadows and highlights are present compared to ProRaw. I will then edit using a linear profile specific to the camera lens. I think some noise can be our friend as details live in it. BTW, I am nowhere near a pro photographer. Just an iPhone photography fanatic. Thanks again and well done!

[@AlexArmitage]

I try to stick to the default app for this comparison but typically shoot with a 3rd party app typically.

[@twagn]

As long as there is good light it's hard to tell the difference. Full frame sensors shine in low light

[@audl28]

Thx. A really good comparison as to what to expect with iPhone 16 Pro and some lovely images besides. Did notice that with some of the lower light level shots, iPhone was using higher ISO and shorter exposures, and wonder how things may have compared with iPhone well mounted and allowed longer exposure and lower ISO. Another thing occurred to me, ridiculously for possibly the first time ever, as have kind of got used to just how phenomenal modern smart phone sensors and lenses are and take for granted. Look at the f stops on the iPhone images compared to the canon images. How often would you not stop down a D-SLR a little just to sharpen up some of the softness at full aperture. I wonder if smart phones will even have adjustable apertures. Now that would be a game changer.

[@AlexArmitage]

Can’t control those things shooting in raw sadly.

[@tomburke5311]

Interesting video - thanks. I've just bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max (from a 14 PM) and am enjoying using it. Re. ProRAW file sizes: I take a lot of ProRAW images - most, in fact. I cull pretty hard in the phone, then having (on the Mac) "Export(ed) Unmodified Original" images and edited them in Lightroom, I then delete the original Raw images from Photos and import JPEG images exported from LR. I've still got the Raw files in LR (and they're comprehensively backed-up, both locally and to the cloud) and the smaller (file size) versions now in Photos are available for online social media, etc. Surely other people must do this.....

[@adi_zero5882]

hey there,im learning to edit images in light room. one question , while exporting after editing in LR should i export in dng or jpeg. ? and what are your thoughts on JPEG xl lossy compression.? should i switch to lossy ?

[@tomburke5311]

⁠@@adi_zero5882It depends on why you’re exporting. In my case, if I’m exporting for printing I’ll export the highest-quality file I can - a full-size jpg at least. But if it’s to post on social media I’ll export a reduced-size medium quality jpg.

And it produce great results in a lot of situations. Low/difficult light though show the limitations and no EVF, no flip screen, no aperture control and generally horrible ergonomics are big minuses for me.

[@And_Bio]

Thanks for the thorough comparison! Any thought about the fact that - if I got it right - landscape shots were taken with the camera on the tripod while the phones were handheld? Even one on each hand, I believe, which would cause additional disadvantage for the one in your “wrong” hand. Also, the ISO, shutter speed and aperture settings were quite different for the same shot between the three cameras 🤔

[@renoallstate4573]

I believe a remote source camera button for the phones would help as it would reduce any shake...

[@rogerhampton2844]

Your last video was about the joy you had using the x100vi. How lovely it was to handle etc. The iPhone can catch up as much as it wants (and in reality there is some way to go) but does anyone really get joy from using a camera phone for photograhy over a real camera?

Taking a superficial view, it's hard to tell the difference between the three cameras in terms of image quality. However, because of its larger sensor and better lens quality, the Canon has an edge in terms of sharpness, colour depth and dynamic range and this is evident in the images you enlarged to show detail.

[@stevenswall]

Camera C isn't as blurry sometimes and it's really notable. Hopefully the other camera makers realize resolution matters... and hopefully Google and Apple can figure out that larger sensors would give them a massive advantage, and that yes, you can get a 1" class sensor in a smartphone like other phone makes have been doing for over a decade.

Interesting approach. I'd love to see comparable camera settings next time. 1/640s at F 1.8 and ISO-80 vs 1/60s at F 8.0 and ISO-100 is way off even with a tripod and an external shutter release. I know that phone cameras evolved pretty much in the last years and I also love to use my 13promax for content, but please make these settings more comparable. If you start cropping, the phone camera will be outmatched at all time, especially macro. Regarding the noise visible in the last picture, it would be interesting to see the unprocessed Iphone picture, since all pictures get reworked by the phone (which produces artifacts).

У блогеров своя правда ). Я пользуюсь айфон 14 про и nikon z , пару лет назад были такие же видео сравнения. Во первых, съемка объектов архитектуры и интерьера дает разную перспективу из-за огромной разницы размеров объективов и, соответственно, геометрии. Во вторых, передача баланса белого в типичных ситуациях у айфона очень хороша и порой даже лучше на автомате, но для про важно не в большинстве случаев, а контроль всегда! Передача цвета у айфон отличная в большинстве случаев, но не всегда, а для про нужно всегда! )) У айфона отсутствует возможность управления импульсным светом. Постоянный свет не проникает так глубоко в объекты, например, еды и ткани, кожу человека, как импульсный, что дает другую бриллиантность снимков. Это борьба за проценты качества и особые ситуации, которые большинству обывателей не понять. Зачем по городу ездить на спортивном автомобиле (больше проблем). Выедешь на автобан и поймешь разницу). Айфон супер удобней в массе случаев и имеет свои преимущества без спора, но не нужно сравнивать с камерами, у которых другие задачи и требования. Про макро на айфоне вообще можно забыть. Кто не понимает - и не нужно) Это для чтения мелкого шрифта на упаковке - единственная польза)) Факт в том, что для большинства считающих себя "фотографами" только потому, что они купили системную камеру, системная камера уже не нужна. У фотографов по профессии вопросов не возникает. У меня пару лет назад подруга моей мамы журналистки, спросила совет, какую камеру ей купить для журналистской съемки (не фотокор), т.к. знала, что я занимаюсь фотографией много лет и интересуюсь техническими аспектами. А когда я посоветовал купить флагманский смартфон, была, мягко говоря, удивлена)) Я объяснил про отличное качество, затраты времени, скорость и оперативность, портативность и безопасность, надежность (не страшно топить в воде) и то, что чем дороже и навороченней системная камера, тем больше вероятность сделать плохие снимки) Но "круто" выглядеть было все равно понятней. Моя nikon z камера лежит без дела кроме особых случаев съемки интерьера и серьезных портретов. В 80-90% случаев хватает и айфона, но в этом и разница, что ели для оставшихся 10-20% у вас не будет решения - вы окажитесь за бортом. Как и наличие стабилизатора или дрона, который нужен пару раз в год.

Glad you found it helpful!

Did you use a 8K or a 4K monitor? With a 8K monitor you might be able to see more details with Canon compared iPhone camera

[@philandthai]

Which shows how inconvenient it to use a “real camera“. You really need an 8K screen to see the difference? What a joke

[@TheHalhalhal]

Very interesting, surprising and well presented

[@simonrhys]

The take away is that compression for sure @

Terrific review !!

[@RodneyGracia]

Quick question, why would you take the "same" image to later compare but not match the fstop? At 17:18 your video shows your Canon was shooting at f8 while your iphone 16 was shooting at f2.2. You can control f values on the iPhone 16 camera; was that an oversight?

[@AlexArmitage]

You cannot control fstop on iPhones. Secondly the listed fstop of the iPhone is misleading. It’s technically f2.2 but because of math and the sensor size. The effective aperture is f6.3 I think (don’t quote me on the exact number)

[@RodneyGracia]

I am confused; ok so what does the f stop camera control do in the new iPhones 16 pro and max? If I soft double press that button I get to adjust f stop. However regardless of the number I choose it makes no difference on the taken image. I thought that is how you could change it.

[@AlexArmitage]

@@RodneyGracia Understandable confusion. That is software "aperture" that essentially fakes different focal values. It's all digital!
