What do you think? Upgrade to iPhone 12 Pro Camera or stay with your iPhone 11 Pro Camera another year?

[@truthseeker6804]

its simply a software upgrade. apple couldve just updated the 11 pro software with night mode, even budget androids have night mode. its a shame, apple is covering software upgrade as if its a new invention. yet other apple users would say "5 years software upgrade". yah with widgets, androids have had for centuries. this is the kind of upgrade the iphone 11 needs. iphone 12 definetely not worth the upgrade, maybe iphone 12 pro max would bring something better to the table.

[@JKHYT]

Def not worth upgrading for such minor improvements. If you have a XS or earlier then yea go for it, if you already have an 11 Pro it's only an improvement if very specific scenarios. I know I'll be holding out for at least one more year. Rumor is there will be all new sensors next year so the improvements should be much more significant if that's true.

[@ArcideMusic]

It was never worth it to upgrade to the next generation, you're paying a lot more to get some minuscule upgrades

[@talipyusif2474]

Stay with iphone 11 pro

[@reda497]

4:39 probably you should edit this video, cause its the ultra wide lens and not the wide one

[@EliotNash]

Love your camera comparisons Danny. Always so much depth to them and you can tell you've put a load of effort into making the videos.

[@dannywinget]

Appreciate that. Yes it takes days to do them but worth it if people take notice. That’s what keeps me going!

[@BeginnersTech]

Absolutely smashing these bro 🔥🔥

[@dannywinget]

🙏 sir!

[@gelley46]

Pretty much the same with a boost in night shots. Software upgrade on the 11 would make night improve but Apple won't do that. Need to move 12s.

[@sijithmaz]

Exactly what I've been looking for! Thank You for this video! I decided to keep my iPhone 11 Pro Max until next year.

[@GuyRobertKernisant]

The phones are practically similar in comparable modes.

[@Miracle_chiedoze]

I love watching your reviews sir, am never my self if I don't know what Danny's opinion is...thanks Danny for another detailed video

[@Mikeemil]

What I was looking for ! Thank You!

[@truthseeker6804]

good demonstration. please when recording night video comparison with galaxy note 20 ultra, try with stabilization on and off. thank you.

[@ST6559]

Idk if the 11 Pro' camera is actually amazing to begin with that Apple has hit plateau in term of camera performance for their next flagship that they only upgrade the night mode in ultra wide camera + LiDAR feature. I literally find most of the pictures between the 11 Pro and the 12 Pro, 99% the same.

[@jiriq8853]

I hope it means that we will get higher resolution sensor on the next iPhone - I would be glad for at least 64 MPix

[@lothecruel]

@@jiriq8853 yes, I hope the same. 120hz should also finally come

[@69xant69]

​@@lothecruelxD its still not here 😹

[@richv7749]

Danny, another great video. Thanks.

[@thekaibenz]

super great comparison and explanation. Well done, love it

[@AuthenTech]

Nice comparison, glad to see we have a lot of the same conclusions. Low light results definitely don't suffice the upgrade for me. Very mediocre upgrade overall.

[@dannywinget]

I’ll go and watch yours. Yeah it’s not a big upgrade. Let’s see if the Pro Max is different. I have a feeling it won’t be either.

[@jeremyguiab]

@@dannywinget They didn’t even improve the edge detection. Just look at 3:00 the holes in the statue is not blurred out on both phones. Guess lidar is only for night portait shots. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Great photo review dan...

[@Jc22345]

Mediocre is being too kind. I thought the upgrade was very underwhelming.

[@ychu9432]

@@dannywinget but the pro max will have a much bigger sensor plus better ois system (sensor shift)

[@ne0tic]

At least it seems to have the best camera system overall of any phone out there.

[@MrDanBoj]

Thank you very much for a video test!

[@vanderslagmulders]

Nice comparison. Thanks mate.

[@TheVoiceofReason4ya]

most of the new camera features can be bought with the night mode app for a few bucks and utilized on the iphone 11 as well.

[@aishawf]

Very helpful -Thank you!

[@uwepierre]

Helped me. Thank you. Staying at 11 pro. (Tests rated the 12 pro cam so much better. But you showed, there isn’t that big difference. Even not at night). Thank you.

[@LunaticLukas]

commenting to help the algorithm.. great comparison! thanks for that!

[@dannywinget]

🙏

[@stelkr]

Thank you again for a great vid! For night time shooters these videos are so important! I hate that the battery is worse on the 12 series(plus no charge brick in the box)! I doubt the 12 Pro Max's battery'll be better than the 11 Pro Max's either. Thank you again Danny!!!

[@alllnmm]

Thank you! Very useful!

[@SK-zt8dk]

U r simply the best 🔥 awesome camera comparison

[@abdelouahedbenbih7544]

Thank you for your work.

[@mrtee183]

Would be interesting to see the iPhone 11 Vs iPhone 12 standard phones Dan if possible. Thanks.

[@zion9860]

Love the camera comparison. There is basically no difference between tht iphone 12 and 11 in those photos. Great job!

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

I have the 12 Pro, and from my limited time with it so far, light spots and holograms from lens flare are its biggest downside (was a problem with the 11 Pro as well). I'm hoping post production apps can do their magic to sort that issue out.

[@nahidulsesir653]

Thanks for video 😊 watching from Bangladesh ❤

[@craigrichardlabistre5356]

Thank you for the video.

[@wizbaloch]

Super detailed review...Really love your camera comparisons...12 pro is a low light and portrait beast.

[@Live4Jesus08]

I have watched 10 videos just tonight on the differences between these two cameras and THIS VIDEO has FINALLY answered my questions! The side-by-sides of the pictures and video have definitely helped me make up my mind! I’ve got an 11 Pro now and was thinking of upgrading to a 12 Pro for the camera and was confused about what the LiDAR Scanner actually did and this video just made my decision for me!! Thank you!!! I’ll be getting my 12 Pro next week!!

[@benyoung2613]

Thanks for your video.

[@recelralphmiko5636]

The daytime pics are almost the same the only difference i see is on lowlight performance

[@nateshf9303]

Well done. My current 8 Plus shots great videos. Can't imagine what the Pro Max can do.

[@Lareim]

Great video!

[@yonicute]

Thanks. I think aside from the POV of upgrading from 11 pro to 12 pro, some of us here are looking to upgrade from 6s/7/8. And knowing that the 11 Pro will be dropping prices to wherever it is still available, it would be a compelling option since it'll be most likely at the same price of 12. Thoughts on 12 vs 11 Pro camera performance?

[@rabbanimech]

Excellent job 👍👍

[@fiaf3395]

Fantastic review! And totally different results from a different reviewer's comparison 😂

Are there Apple reps holding you hostage? Reply with a “Apple is awesome” to let me know.

[@florianherbst6852]

nice comparison, I'm stil unsure if it wouldn't be better to take the 11 pro max instead of the 12 pro due to the better battery

[@attilaharcsa134]

I think with the time while they optimize the iOS to A14 and the deep fusion all that get the software behind them they can improve a lot.

[@thehavenly9888]

Really Danny you are a amazing photographer

[@Niko1988]

Good review, please make comparisons between V 60 and iPhone 12 Pro.

[@seraphinbette]

C’est pareil entre les 2 à 90% en gros, It’s idem for two caméra en rally?

[@jatgee5195]

I got 12 pro & I noticed that the pics are a bit extra smooth.. so if you apply sharpen a bit.. then the quality gets better.

[@spring9603]

I can see a very welcomed improvement in the white balance, seems that they yellowish tint is not that visible anymore.

[@Unknown-bt4vu]

Can you tell me which one is better? Iphone 11 pro or normal Iphone 12? I am particularly interested in the camera. (Who has a better camera?) I saw that 11 pro has 3 cameras but it is older instead iphone 12 has 2 cameras but it is newer. When I referred that I was interested in the camera, I also referred to the pictures and the videos

[@kenang83]

Hi Danny, thank you for comparison, now I only know my iPhone 11 pro camera not much different with iPhone 12 pro.

[@ShafinRehman]

Ah yes, LiDAR. The fancy name for a Time of Flight sensor.

[@spinoza..]

@Danny Winget Great job!! for filmmaking which iphone can provide desired video quality at he cheapest price so maybe telephoto lens does nothing on videos and i dont have to buy 11 pro i can go with just iphone 11 or lower models, this answer ll help a lot of people, thx in advance.

[@xyz3702]

It was improved alot!

[@letre4615]

i’ve had a 8 plus for 4 years do you think i should get the 11 pro ? bc i just pre ordered the 12 pro max

[@twinkleramchandani5193]

I was confuesed for a long time but finally decided on 12 pro.. Heres why-: 1)First of all it has a better camera with night mode, lidar. 2.) It has a flat screen i.e gr8 for gamers. 3.) It has more natural photos as compared to the 11 pro which has much more saturated phots. 4.) I'll get updates on the 12 pro maybe a year more than the 11 pro bcoz of the latest model. 5.) 12 pro has 5g

[@MISSIONRIDERMOTOVLOG]

Thank you. Youre good

[@reggyjocom1767]

Maybe wait for the 12S Pro, still happy with my 11 Pro for now on, the different between 11 Pro & 12 Pro is not worth the penny

Thanks for this. Lets see what the 12 Pro Max will do.

12 pro and pro max same,only size various

[@Granturion]

@@justshemi No. 12 Pro Max has a new bigger sensor and different stabilisation. Thats why some are pissed which wnat the best camera but not the biggest device

[@Lamapu]

@@justshemi actually not, 12 Pro Max it has better cameras.

OMG, i prefer color interpretation of the 11 Pro. And I just ordered my 12 Pro.!!! And the lenses quality is exactly the same in both models. so for me the 11 is the winner. if you go out at night maybe you can prefer the 12. But not for me. Thanks for this exhaustive video.

[@marekfoto8285]

How to get 30s exposure or if possible also longer exposure on iPhone 12 Pro?

[@klarapruchova]

Awesome video...I would also take some good phone than just 6s

[@quantum3712]

Hi is 12 pro good enough for using it for another 4 years?

[@1029db]

I love how you can shoot wide angle night mode on the 12. I have the 10s max, and I wonder if it’s worth the upgrade.

[@traviswinn]

Though I said I have the 11Pro and will stick to it, if I had an earlier one, I would consider seriously upgrading. The zoom is so nice...

[@oussamahamouda9251]

Just stick with your xs max bro , still a great and very fast device with a beautiful camera + 3D Touch, only if you are interested with ultra wide angle camera and night mode .

[@gusirizarry]

Hey Danny, love your content and hope you have time to see this. What do you use to edit then render video you get from the iPhone? I have an iPhone 12 and I am extremely disappointed in the video I am getting out of it. I honestly feel my Oneplus 7T looks better, and I am not satisfied with the video straight out of the phone

[@dannywinget]

You have HDR turned on or off? Turn it off for the easiest video. Still looks great.

[@gusirizarry]

@@dannywinget Got it on, will try off

[@mostcallmerob]

I really can't see any reason to upgrade. Although carriers are marketing 5G heavily, I don't see much coverage outside of major downtown cities, which alone doesn't give you a reason to upgrade for 5G.

[@jejunamja]

Nice... 11 pro owners can sit this upgrade out and wait till next year .

I went from 8+ and got myself the 12 Pro so personally it was a really nice upgrade. But if you have 11 Pro on hand, I’d say wait since this comparison says it all.

does the regular iphone 12 have night mode too?

Whens the mini coming out? I want a Mini Pro Maximum Magnus von Magnum edition, with the sure grip and cheese grater at the bottom.

Are the dancing spot lens flares (Ghosthunters orbs) worse on the 12? Only saw it in one of your video samples, but other reviewers have shown multiple spots dancing all over the frame

The same as the 11 Pro. It’s been an issue.
