I literally searched up Pete after MKBHD said to check him out for the camera testing

[@rodrigocontreras1656]

Was able to spot the image comparison immediately. There's this weird extra sharpening like effect with most phones when taking photos, where the very edges of objects, whether it be text or an outline of a shape etc., tends to get like "blown out" if that makes sense. It's most apparent in highlight areas or like the edges of the colored watch numbers and hands. This Prores phone shoot also has this weird edge effect processing going on. Color wise it looked great, but that slight softness at times, like on your face, along with the odd extra edge blurrying especially on your body shape, make it quite noticeable to me it's not very "pro camera".

[@abelardojeda]

Precisely! And that’s how I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with the idea that professional cameras don’t make sense anymore because of newer phones. Let’s not forget those product shots from the iPhone fall apart for high quality print purposes.

[@rjpearson]

I was really noticing that in Marques's vid, really surprised he didn't point it out since that was such a big talking point with the Pixel 6's over sharpening. 50mp is great but the pixel binning on almost every phone makes the image unnaturally sharp. 😕

[@ToxicHorsePucky]

It wasn’t just over sharpening, it flattened the image too. The watch looked 2D on the iPhone in comparison to the Canon shot that had insane depth.

[@anihilistsweetpotato9535]

Also the way it caught the light was weird. I feel like only a photographer or artist would notice, but the dynamic rang was odd considering where the source of the light was coming from.

[@quinn9240]

yeah i don't even know the first thing about cameras or photography, but it was immediately obvious to me for the above reasons.

[@u.b.469]

You can always tell the iPhone cinematic mode due to the post process bokeh effect. You can see it looks artificial around the edge of objects in the foreground. If they could fix this, it would be super useable in professional applications. Still amazing tech though!

[@thehandyguy]

Yeah it messes with my head so much 😅

[@sundaynightdrunk]

It's getting to a point where the average viewer will not notice any of that. It's really quite amazing that it's able to do that for freaking video! Portrait mode itself isn't all that old, and now it's doing it in video at 4K, and doing it pretty damn well.

[@pennyzee1176]

100%. Great for a phone. Insane for a phone. But the skin especially came off as sorta, half-smoothing filter or something? Like the skin tones were mushed a bit while maintaining some contrasty detail. Hard to describe exactly. And computational DoF is still jarring for a talking head where the hair wisps just end in blur. And I noticed the same details in the photo. Hell of a phone. Not replacing a camera just yet.

[@danielbammes8229]

I don't know if I have a better eye than most but I was able to spot the iphone photo almost instantly. The HDR effect that it gives to images is a little too noticeable sometimes and I spotted the hands on the watch face being much too bright for the surroundings. You could bump down the contrast, highlights, or whites in post and it would've been a bit harder to discern. As far as the video goes, Apple's video doesn't come close to what you get on some of the cameras of today. I am not a fan of the digital blur and I honestly USB stream through a camera for Facetime, Zoom, and Teams meeting while in the office for a much better appearance because both the Iphone and Mac cameras are lacking. Anyways, nice video as usual!

[@andrewdawydiak5087]

Any camera in a professionals hands can create amazing thing, where I thought it really suffered was in the action mode, the aliasing on the pavers was a jittery awful mess, and of course the fake shallow depth of field trying to mimic a longer focal lengths compression.

[@elliotmarks06]

One IMPORTANT thing to notice is that this video was shot in a studio environment, and edited by a professional editor. I am SO impressed with the strides mobile cameras have been making lately, but it is truly in the rough scenarios where real cameras tend to shine.

[@MattyDMovies]

I don't know if I agree with the "rough scenarios". The problem with DSLRs is that they're DUMB, if you slip up on your settings your shot can be totally unusable but Iphones are so good at applying the correct settings you need in whatever scenario.

[@stivnov]

For all the people in comments who say they can't see the difference - I'm watching this on 27 inch 4K monitor and the difference in both photos and videos is clearly visible

[@kalimarus]

Same, easy to tell but I use my iPhone in ProRaw and my ILC cameras on the same locations all the time. Basically it's missing a bunch of detail, but then again it's a 12mp (quad bayer 48) vs the R5 which has 3x those pixels and a far higher grade lens. The fact that many can't tell at first glance is a win for the iPhone. And that's the thing, if 90+% can't tell, and I probably wouldn't on the typical screen I view images on, the phone or tablet/laptop then it makes the R5 that much less relevant.

[@michaelbell75]

Yep, me too. Thing is, we are the 1%. I dont know a single person who owns a desktop setup in 2022 aside from a few pro photographer friends. Everyone is looking at our photos and videos compressed to hell on social media where you will never see the difference. Plenty of us pro photographers have posted shots with an iPhone mixed in with shots from FF and even MF cameras, no one notices. Even when you ask people on social media which photo was taken with which camera, no one can tell. No one is viewing your photos and videos on 27 inch 4K monitors...

The video is fantastic. But the IWC on the photos is just WOW. I don't even remember what the video was about! Great choice!!

[@McKinleyGriggs]

My honest guess was correct, here's why: The over-sharpening of the iPhone's image is noticeable and far too crunchy, the highlight fall-off is very noticeable, and the blacks are much better (IMO) from the camera. The text highlights, the fall-off, and the details of the screws on the camera shot are better (again IMO). Did you happen to move your light? I can see more light on the iPhone image and the iPhone reflection was caught in the watch face. That is just the photos. With all that being said I totally agree, I love that iPhone (apple) is pushing the bounds of things. I think it makes camera manufacturers step up their game, which benefits everyone in the industry. I love that iPhones are there for you when your camera is not available. That really speaks! Great video as always Pete!

[@kaspergaram]

For sure the footage looks really good and the stabilising is incredible and the way that ProRes keeps the details is amazing, but it does still look like it wasn't shot with a proper camera. And obviously it wasn't. It was actually quite easy to tell which one of the photos in the beginning was taken with a phone and which one was with a proper camera. Also the way it blurs the hair and beard is just way off. For something that's in your pocket, the iPhone is insane for sure, but for now it won't replace an actual camera.

[@MicroFourThirdsCorner]

Can you define "proper camera"? Do you mean a camera that just takes photos or just takes videos? It's not so long ago that people were saying you can't shoot video on a stills camera because it's not a proper video camera. It's not so long ago people said mirrorless cameras weren't proper cameras because they didn't have a mirror. It's not so long ago that people said DSLRs weren't proper cameras because they didn't shoot film and real photographers only shoot on film. Back in 1935 the Leica 35mm wasn't a proper camera because it wasn't large format and you could slip it in your pocket. The iPhone (or Android if that's your preference) IS a proper camera that happens to also do other stuff. Being able to do other stuff doesn't mean it's not a real camera. The best camera is and always will be "the one you have with you".

The iphone 100% oversharpens and the edges are jagged. That's what I noticed in the first photo. They need to soften up the image. It looked better ungraded imo.

[@carlclippedit]

everything this guy touches is gold

[@mrm7]

I mean it's ok - i can't see that much improvement over iPhone 13 - however compared to your usual videos, the difference is night and day. So anyone can use an iPhone instead of a pro camera at a pintch, but it will 100% be noticeable - specially if viewed on larger displays.

[@bryceallen98K]

… no it’s not. It’s really noticeable. This is beyond incredible. Don’t even

[@RedRumble14]

For those who are watching from phones this looks totally cinematic. On a bigger screen yeah, lots of noise. I currently have no option but to shoot some videos from iPhone 11 and I know 95% of people are gonna watch it from phones so whatever. Are there any noise reduce tools out there?

[@Rheaded]

I like how he and marques kind of collaborated and trying to promote each other

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Action mode AND it floats like a drone. Incredible.

[@GavinSeim]

As great as mobiles are getting I can instantly see that pasty look that reveals it's clearly a phone camera. It's still no contest no matter how many times these comparisons are made. Good video.

[@scrunchielive5353]

Peter did an immaculate job on filming that deck of cards in the beginning, I am sold! Just ordered one and can't wait for it to come :D

[@ThePlantParadigm]

Definitely getting the new 14 Pro - it’s so hype

[@angelorenna]

Excellent review as always. You immediately notice the difference between phone and camera due to the tone steps on the watch face. In my opinion the only one that makes sense to buy is the 14 base model which still has double stabilization, Cinematic mode and security features. Professional modes on a phone in my opinion do not make sense. Thank you for your excellent videos. Phenomenal phone anyway.

[@shaukahodan2373]

looks solid. I like where the technology is taking us!

[@Kirbysbelt]

I wish they'd update their antiquated OS. I went to pixel and it's like stepping outside for the first time in 6 years.

[@DannidanzYT]

The background music tho🥵 up Afro!

[@MarkandSandieInMotion]

I'm going back and forth from your vid and Matti's, I like you lutz filter (grading) much better.

[@emmanuelezeagwula7436]

I love the fact that you and mkbhd shouted each other out for the point where they were lacking 😎

[@piaklein8164]

Who is this Mr Richard Thompson and how does he trade, please am interested in getting to know how it all works !!

[@jivanroberts3500]

The one thing that I couldn’t overlook and the main reason I decided to upgrade from using my iPhone to using a Sony camera was because the bit rate is just non-comparable. There’s so much pixelation during scenes that have any amount of action in it. You also can’t compare the amount of control you have while using a dedicated camera. Don’t get me wrong. The iPhones have come to a point where if you needed to shoot something on the fly and don’t have a camera with you, if you don’t say anything, you can definitely get away with it without anyone noticing. One other thing is that when using cinematic mode, the post processing background blur really struggles when recording broll even when you try to redirect the focus when editing the video on the phone. It’s not a bad set up, but for my needs and attention to detail, getting a dedicated camera was a must.

[@B1TN3RD]

Saw this comparison video and liked it before even watching it. Just because it is from Peter. Quality time baby!

[@Plutouthere]

Def need to talk about the weirdness @ 4:09 Also just seeing the pins in the "motherbord" under the watch gave away which camera was which for me.

[@vini.ferreira]

Took me a long time to realize that Peter wearing a cap is the biggest advantage he could give the IPhone to even stand a chance. Makes much easier to contour he's (luscious) hair. Great lighting comes in second on this particular point.

[@JeffreyAdair]

Most, if not all, phones these days are capable of some incredible photos/videos...in the right hands. Peter is a perfect ambassador for Apple, because he knows what he's doing. I would guess he could do the same with a Pixel or a Galaxy. He could probably manipulate a "burner" phone into producting some decent output as well. That said, we are all just a little spoiled with the quality of the tech available to us. And if it inspires someone enough to produce something spectacular, then we all are better for it.

[@shawnbigbie2160]

Can you do a video on how you color grade the iphone videos for this video and setup? That would be so helpful to understand how you color grade things compare to out of the box.

[@JN46R4]

In his description, it mentions that you used on of the LUT presets he sells and provides the link for it

[@tigerbite22]

I love how Peter and Marques recommends each other on their videos. True friends right off the bat and I watch them both when it comes to these things lol.

[@pmozzi]

Was it the 48MP raw photo edited or the out of box binned 12MP? Great video, impressive video quality!

[@AndrewClare]

The fact this is cinematic mode! 😮

[@allanfortytwo]

Liked this video. The stabilization running scene was epic.

[@cre8tiveprocess971]

PK, you've got great taste brother - love that IWC

Most anticipated video by MKBHD 🔥

[@michaelmode]

Your opening is EXACTLY why I purchase iPhone. Wish I had waited for the i15 Pro Max.

[@JCC_creations]

So freakin awesome 👏🏻 🔥🔥🔥 I preordered the Space Black 256 GB iPhone 14 Pro Max, and this video made me even more stoked to get it 😁🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@Idlaff]

the camera is super awesome but can we talk about the fantastic music choice in the background for this video. awesome vid Pete !!!

[@darkknightwithanidea1845]

Good job Pete … cards, coffee & camera ! BOOM! Nice work

[@jasonweinpel7036]

Story - the great equalizer. Couldn't agree more!

[@4fredeya]

The intro is sick! ❤🔥

[@orcusdei]

Awesome! This really answered my question whether I will get through product photography with just iPhone or I need a better camera - I need a better camera.

i was so confused when i saw you in the parking lot cause im always around main street in my town LOL!! so awesome

[@yellaninpoppin9919]

literally the camera and filming aspects is what i need the phone for. I have a camera but it's so heavy. i need something extremely lightweight that i can carry with me everywhere that can go very well with a ring light versus me setting up my tripod bringing extra lenses and lugging a big heavy camera around. Thank you so much for the review.

[@jaidanolstad9571]

man I love everything u do I don't know why I stopped watching.

[@gordonalain]

This is stunning. OMG is this done on an iPhone? This is groundbreaking quality without a doubt!

[@jozefgubka511]

OK, forget the iPhone. That IWC pilot watch was the reason I had to pause the video and take a closer look. It looks awesome. 🙂

[@Oogiebaloo]

first video of yours ive seen. I like the content

[@mannytalksfooty]

I guessed the left image was shot on the iPhone. Guess I was wrong lol. But the image shot on the iPhone is amazing. As a photographer, i will definitely be taking advantage of the 48 megapixels

[@ArizonaLife1]

You make it look easy. Looking forward to the upgrade from my 12 to the 14 pro max.

[@ahmadwadan5406]

That's a great leap in camera!

[@isaiah_jones]

Gotta love how Marques said to watch Peter's vid for details about the camera and Peter says to watch Marques's vid for everything else🤣

[@Ender7567]

I always watch two videos for the latest iPhone. MKBHD for the tech specs and new features and Pete for the Camera test. Really cool that they each called each other out in their videos this year!
