Samsung note 20 ultra camra is better than i phone 12 pro

[@rickykim85]

From 5:28 the video comparison between 12 and 12pro is correctly captioned? I know the dolby vision interferes to 12pro with 60fps but not on 12. In your video 12 video has way better HDR.

[@timstockman]

Totally right. I feel like the pro is worse here. Couldn't accidentally have been switched right?

[@crool88]

I agree. The 12 Pro seemed over exposed or something. The 12 looked much better. Kind of concerning for those interested in the Pro. I hope the footage was labelled wrong like the previous comment mentioned.

[@andrewstewart3055]

They both record HDR video; however, HDR output (through dolby vision) is available only at 30fps on the 12 while it is possible up to 60 fps on the 12 Pro. This means that the 60fps HDR output on the 12 Pro had to be converted to SDR for this video, but on the normal iPhone 12 no conversion was necessary since 60fps is only output in SDR. Because HDR has a wider range of luminance (& color) and is generally brighter than SDR, the HDR-to-SDR conversion can cause tone-mapping issues that wouldn't be apparent if viewed in the video's original space. It is likely that if both were viewed on the phone they were taken on, which can view Dolby Vision and didn't require conversion for the purposes of editing an SDR youtube video, that the Pro would look better.

[@timstockman]

@@andrewstewart3055 Super interesting, thanks for your elaborate answer! So basically the iPhone 12 Pro is too ahead of it's time and KZbin needs to catch up...would it not be possible the not film in HDR, as to not needing to convert, resulting in a better picture quality?

[@CityWalksLondonVlog]

I agree , 12 looks better 👏

Hey Matti, I'd love to see a demo of how you color graded the orange leaf footage. It almost looks black and white + orange, so I'm guessing it's more involved than just a preset. Also, I'm sure there are like a dozen different ways to go about this, but curious what your method is. Thanks for another great video!

Hey Matti! I'm a 12 year old filmmaker from FL, really love your vlogs. Do you have any advce for young creators?

[@katlis]

Hey Wesley, I'm a 37 year old filmmaker hobbyist from FL, with a 12 year old daughter who also likes filmmaking! My advice is to dig deep into each aspect of filmmaking from industry professionals, not just KZbinr influencer personalities. While the vlogs are entertaining, there is also a wealth of knowledge on here from pros too (grips, DPs, etc). But just remember, you don't always have to let your hobbies/passion turn into a career. Filmmaking is a tough gig, influencers make it look easy -- my advice is to reach out to actual people in the industry for guidance. When it comes to vloggers, perhaps think of them as the lucky ones, like the 0.0001% of video gamers that made a living by streaming on Twitch. It's more of a personality thing versus hands-on experience that propelled them into success. I would be shocked to learn if Peter or Matti had ever been on a real set before KZbin. :)

Yeah 12 was more natural, 12 pro was little overexposed like u said

[@freshgoldclips5033]

I think it’s to do with the iPhone 12 not being able to shoot Dolby vision in 60p whereas the pro can and that may be why 12 pro looks brighter and overexposed

WAY better. I almost thought it was a comparison between the 11 and 12 at first.

[@danishblunt9698]

@@aminbajrektarevicab I thought the same so I checked some other videos where they compared Iphone 12 to actual good video cameras and the image quality tanked on the Iphone especially on fast paced scenes, it's the Iphones awful bitrate or compression. Basicially, it's quite meh for video, which I already kinda expected given that the overhyped Iphone 11 was overhyped as well and had some severe compression and flickering issues which apparently reomained in Iphone 12.

Hi Matti, Amazing video! I have a quick request, could you find out what the actual focal lengths are for the ultra-wide, wide, and tele lenses? Since lightroom records the focal length based on the real number and not the equivalent it should be as simple as checking the metadata on lightroom. For those of us trying to understand the real depth of field we will be getting, knowing the crop factor of these lenses goes into my buying decision between the pro and pro max. Anyways, Thanks!

[@computron5824]

The reason why it looks grainy/ like wifi sucks is because it's a small sensor with a small lens that relies on sharpening for the "quality". Thats why even though it's "4K", it just doesn't have the necessary hardware to resolve that detail well.
