Potrait is still awful on gcam and Iphone but there are few phones out there such as the Huawei P40/ Mate 40, Oppo find x2 and Oneplus 8 pro which do a much better job than iphone does simply due to much superior hardware, it's still imperfect even on monster camera phones like the huawei's. So making potrait mode comparisons is just silly because they are still so flawed.

Why didn't you shoot in the iPhones portrait mode? It would be a better side by side with the Sony

It’s a feature to simulate a pro camera. So wouldn’t that be a better comparison to show fake vs really bokeh.

Let the Sony camera make all the choices just like the native camera app on the iPhone does. We all know phone cameras will never be a “real” camera so whatever arguments you’re gonna make, stop!

Ok for those asking about portrait mode. I get it. But portrait mode uses software to create a fake bokeh effect that would normally be created by a lens’ aperture. It basically finds the subject and blurs out the background. Comparing a7siii photos with iPhones portrait mode would only let us see how good the software does to get the effect. You can achieve “portrait mode” effect in photoshop or even apps. Just a thought. I think they were going for a camera to camera comparison, and this was 100% the best way to do it.

[@floflorian6085]

„You enjoying this video?“ No, not actually, because as many other people have noted, this comparison does not make sense, at all. iPhone means computational photography, so the interesting parts would have been how good the algorithm has become to select the shape of the person, and if the new lidar scanner adds to the experience.

Two tips from someone who’s pretty good at squeezing everything out of an iPhone camera. Shoot either portrait mode in the stock camera app, or use the depth mode with halide (a paid manual camera app that is perfect for getting great photos out of the phone). Second, use the app Focos to edit your depth or field. It uses depth data from the photo to get realistic bokeh. You can even adjust what’s in and out of focus in post which is kinda sorcery but it works well and can really save you. The thing you have to keep in mind when it comes to iPhone photography is third-party apps will always help you squeeze extra photo goodness out of that small sensor. Hope this helps anyone looking to get better shots. Good day

In any case you should redo this comparison with the iPhone 12 Pro Max and then trying to use all the features the iPhone actually provides.

Two things. First off, you are shooting an f/1.4 lens against slower lenses in the iPhone. For example, the telephoto lens in the iPhone is an f/2 lens. So if you wanted to make it more fair, you would have to stop your lens down to f/2. However, the sensor in the Sony is way larger, so that comes into play as well, but at least match the apertures up. Second, as usual, there's an app for that. Focos is a great app that lets you add background blur and bokeh to your portraits. You can even go into a 3D depth mapping of your photo and change the focus point, depth of field etc...its awesome. You could have also used portrait mode on the iPhone. So not a very good test at all to be honest.

When it comes to taking portraits without using software background blur, then the 103mm equivalent periscope camera of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is currently one of the cameras that give you the highest amount of natural background blur due to the large 5.4mm quotient of focal length and f-number.

[@ALxdCr4ftPlays]

The Sony A7S III is better as it has a FULL FRAME SENSOR. The iphone 12 Pro has a tiny baby sensor, smaller than a 1' sensor and APSC sensor.

13mm, 26mm, etc are not focal lengths in this case. The physical quantity is "field of view" and can be expressed as the field of view of a full frame camera with a certain focal length without distortion. Focal length does not mean field of view. Focal length means focal length. So in this case "field of view of 13mm" is more correct than "focal length" of 13mm.

I understand if you don't have an equivalent lens on the Sony with a wide enough focal length, but it's not a fair comparison. I'm not defending Apple by any means here but people are watching this video to hopefully get accurate information to justify their purchases.

You pointed to the wrong lens placement. The tele lens on a 12 Pro is at the top now, not the wide. The iPhone 12 is different than previous iphones because of the increase in sensor size. They changed up the placement of the wide lens and the tele lens.

I don't know if you used ANY phone in the last 5 years but there's a portrait mode for the bokeh effect; You can reduce the exposure to get a better shot; etc. Obviously photos aren't going to look that good when you just whip out the phone and expect it to take the exact photo you want without any kind of prep.

Honestly, this is the worst comparison i've ever seen on the internet. Apple made the potrait mode for a reason. Why didn't you use it? And did you expect the normal camera on iphone can match the dslr?

[@Joanne94087]

iphone 12 pro portrait mode can do blurry background as well.

You have to use portrait mode to compare a portrait with the iPhone

[@Aggrava]

This didn’t feel like a fair comparison, no portrait mode? By default the iPhone is built to try and maintain maximum depth of field. You should have maxed out aperture on the A7 if you wanted to compare similar style photos.

Another great upload Lizzie. Thanks for sharing

[@davidlane9609]

Lol. People nowadays..

[@larrylaffer4304]

yes portrait mode. and u can also change the aperture in that mode. also afterwards ...

[@4thNebula]

Videos are important. How do they compare with long videos (1+ hrs of 4k footage).

[@KE4YAL]

Only thing my iPhone is always with me my DSLR isn’t when I’m out on the farm mowing or whatever it’s easy to grab my iPhone it’s quick & easy I get some really great pics of wildlife wildflowers or my a sunset that I would miss because my DSLR just isn’t easy to carry while on a tractor or riding my 4 wheeler checking on the place Great video thanks

[@jeffrobins5200]

Cute video, but not that accurate. Honestly I wasn’t expecting it to be. Kinda silly to compare a camera with a lens the size of pinkie nail to a massive professional lens that costs more than the IPhone. Nothing like comparing close to $6k camera+lenses to a $1k camera+phone you can fit in your pocket. But , it was fun to watch.

[@sergeantcrow]

For better comparative you would need to compare actual focal lengths.. perhaps using primes.. and apertures first and then possibly equivalent field of view...

[@geraldbaria]

You could have at least tried to match the focal lengths of the iphone with the lens of the A7siii? Like 13mm, 26mm and 52mm? Not 35, 50 is ok, and then 16mm? Come on. And let’s all pretend that portrait mode doesn’t exist.

[@TJolley]

Definitely amazing the ability to capture really good content with just your phone ! Love it !

[@timwithers2866]

The 12-24mm you were using is a G lens, not a G master. The GM is F2.8.

[@NylodeMeijer]

Lizzie! First of all: +10 on the super chill music you picked. Great video and you got some cool photos!

[@davidlane9609]

Lol licker

Hallo habe seine Frage würdest du die Kamera komblet ferlasen und nurnoch mit iPhone Fotografie machen

[@desiinc4207]

I know Apple is pushing the whole idea of using their phone for professional use, but it ain’t happening for a while. Yes, these phones are perfect for Instagram clicks or Pinterest, but can’t replace the professional cameras (as of today). Imagine one showing up at wedding with iPhone 12 pro to take “professional” photos or commercial shoot for a clothing line/car where poster need to go on billboard. However, I do agree that these phones give us a wide variety of options with a few taps on the screen Vs picking up camera, batteries, and lens.

[@c.g.3510]

Bokeh is the quality of out of focus (OoF) lights produced by either distance to subject/background, aperture and/or sensor size. Term also lately used for referring to OoF background. Portrait Mode in phones renders a programmed OoF background. It is just a software result (like mini-photoshopping). In that sense, if Portrait Mode is to be used in iPhone, then an in-camera (A7s) tool for creating "bokeh" would have to be used. Or maybe just post process it, photoshop it, etc. Apple's algorithms are nice but it's just that, software. Otherwise, most phone cameras can't just make bokeh with those distances/sensor sizes/apertures. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻

[@The-Heart-Will-Testify]

Iphone fanboys on this comment section don't get that lol

[@tonycollinet]

I'm with the comment re portrait mode. If you want to do a comparison, then you need to use the computational features (fusion, portrait mode, low light mode etc) that Apple provides. They are part of the whole point of using an iphone camera. Show how/if the Sony can do a better job in all these cases. In other words shoot in conditions that favour the Sony/larger sensor (But use the features apple provide to mimic this) - but then also shoot in conditions that the computational photography of the iphone also excels in. That way your viewers get a true view as to how well an Iphone holds up (or doesn't) against a dedicated camera.

[@asqures5541]

LOL you digitally zoomed in and didn't even bother to use portrait mode, good job

[@hturt4]

Curious why you didn’t use iPhone’s portrait mode to get bokeh like Sony and make it more of an apples to apples comparison?

[@mirrorlessny]

Do you know if portrait mode is a digital effect? or does it change settings to achieve natural/optical bokeh?

[@johnecedavis7708]

You should have used PORTRAIT MODE with IPHONE 12 PRO. This is what I have and it works great if not better than the professional camera, in my opinion.

[@RedDeivid]

That's a not fair comparison, you should had use portrait mode on the iPhone to see how it will really can bring up and also edit them files as you did with the sony... either ways, not of them can compare to any modern aps-c sensor or any full frame sensor dedicated for photography.
