Fantastic video! 12ProMax here; wanted the 14, but holding for 15 which should be leaps and bounds better.

[@TheHybridShooter]

@Audio Janitor Thank you, although nothing suggests that the 15 should be offer more significant upgrades than the previous generations.. It is common post iPhone launch click-bait hype.

[@liveandletlift370]

Great explanation, no feelings or opinions, just facts supported by samples. Very pleasant change from click-bait influencer reviews. Thank you!

[@TheHybridShooter]

My pleasure, thank you for watching!

[@bastian.michel]

True.

[@GABRIEL_CRAFT]

@@TheHybridShooter I always appreciate your fact-based approach.

[@RobbyHuang]

Agreed. Raw on the 14 pro is just unreal. Can’t believe how good it is.

[@Sundara229]

The new ProRAW is definitely a huge step in the right direction. I wish Apple would give us the option to disable the sharpening and terrible noise reduction in the other shooting/video modes as well.

[@Garage_Distinct_Clips]

There is a new pro raw ? I got it on 12 pro

[@Sundara229]

@@Garage_Distinct_Clips Should have said "overhauled". It's better by a mile in the 14.

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

I have a 12 Pro Max. I went to the Apple store to get my watch replaced and looked at the 14 Pro. For what I do and use a camera for, there was virtually no difference. I shoot strictly JPEGs, mostly landscape, no video per se, I also shoot studio type photos of my woodturning pieces as well. I feel no need to upgrade at this time. Yes a 48 mpixel sensor is interesting but no one cares outside of a small group of hard core photographers. However, since the 12 Pro Max, the cameras in smartphones in general are good enough to put my full sized cameras on the shelf. Why? Because the phone is always with me, it is easy tp pull out and take a shot, and the results are great if you ignore Apple's horrible white balance settings and the fact that they over saturate everything. But people that I talk to about it and show photos to like the default results. But to go 2 generations of cameras and basically get no improvements that matter to I am guessing 90% of the user base tells me that iPhones and smartphones in general are stalled as far as innovation goes. Same shape, same size, same irritating user interface, same camera performance. Just change the colors and add a floating window on top that no one asked for or needs. Thanks for the review. I enjoy and read every one of them.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I appreciate that! It would be interesting to know how many people care about RAW. It was actually the RAW capability on Samsung Galaxy S7 that got me interested in photography back in 2016, so it may be interesting for more non-photography people, especially with Apple marketing. I think that there still an innovation in iPhones, but you need to skip two generations to see the difference.

[@pastalavista03]

iphone 14 pro raw vs a7iv would be an awesome comparison

[@SirGEEZUS]

Subscribed. Honest content like this is hard to come by these days.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@shlokpatel1294]

which place have you shown in the video

[@angelorenna]

Great video. No ordinary user would notice the differences except in very few situations.The double stabilization of the 14pro may be useful (the stabilization of iphones is already excellent) but in terms of quality we are not far away

[@RonaldBrown59]

The camera on the new iPhone 14 Pro is very impressive, Great comparison between the older models. Those RAW photos from the 14 were excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@huzainisahmawi]

as always you never dissapoint me with review. 👏

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you!

[@apexsosapex1014]

thanks for one of the best camera comparisons on yt, incredible technical knowledge

[@bastian.michel]

Are the raw pictures really raw? Without HDR or the typical apple colorscience applied?

[@TheHybridShooter]

They are stacked RAW, so both really RAW and with HDR stacking, but user controllable. Color science is applied to every RAW image from any camera, it still needs color science as an instruction to read data from the sensor.

[@greyspaniard]

I may have missed it in the video but I assume the 12MP RAW setting isn’t worth it akin to the jpeg and heif modes?

[@TheHybridShooter]

It is worth it if you want some flexibility for editing without large 48 MP files. You will get quality similar to 12/13 Pro, though.

[@bastian.michel]

@@TheHybridShooter Your answer suprises me. (Im not an iPhone owner) I would expect the 12mpx raw files to be more natural without overprocessing and oversharpening.

[@TheHybridShooter]

They are (in comparison to non-RAW images)

[@burundoyins9583]

I currently have the regular 13, but been contemplating on getting the 12 pro (due smaller camera bump). I knwo there are lots of differences but I am heavily focused on the camera. Is the 12 pro main camera better than regular 13? Should I opt for 13/14 pro instead?

[@TheHybridShooter]

No idea, I have never used regular 13.

[@josepauloferrer2135]

Hi, for a beginner into phone photography and videography, what iphone is best for me? Btw, I'm also coming from an android. Thanks

[@TheHybridShooter]

The latest Pro model is always the best, so 14 Pro, but at this point I would wait for 15 Pro.

[@sclogse1]

Peace, not war, in the Hotel Bristol window. Does anyone ever talk about lens coatings on these cameras, (reducing flare, etc.) or chromatic aberration, or vignetting at wide aperature?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Not really because it would be very difficult to tell which imperfections are caused the by the lens design and which by the coating.

[@amermeleitor]

​​@@TheHybridShooter add the fact that much of lens distortions are corrected even in raw pictures, at least chromatic aberration, vignetting, barrel or pincushion distortions, lost of contrast and corner softness. You cannot access to the pure raw in iPhones

[@musiqueetmontagne]

Thank you, a great video with all the useful information needed.

[@netmanswe]

And I was considering an ”upgrade” from my 12 Pro to 14 Pro. Seems to be a waste of money since the iPhone 12 Pro is still in great condition with good battery life

[@TheHybridShooter]

@@netmanswe HEIF Max on 15 and 16 Pro makes a huge difference, so those are worth it.

[@kenchen821]

damn that Apple just ruined their video quality with sharpening like how they did with the iPhone photos. Videos from the 12 pro look much much better.

[@massimilianomusso5448]

Can you upload somewhere iPhone shots to be able to compare well?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Unfortunately not.

[@James-lu4en]

Why does the 14 require shooting in RAW and not 13 for better quality?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Because it has 48 MP mode only available for RAW.

[@James-lu4en]

@@TheHybridShooter Ok thanks. But why would that make shooting in standard mode worse than iPhone 13 and not the same as it? :)

[@TheHybridShooter]

It is all explained in the video. Non-RAW mode is not worse than on 13 Pro.

[@James-lu4en]

2:43 here you say it's as bad as iPhone 12... which it kind of is. Thanks man 👍

[@TheHybridShooter]

No, I didn't say that it is as bad as iPhone 12 Pro, I said that it is the same as is with 12 Pro and that doesn't mean that it is worse than 13 Pro.

[@protoping]

would be fun with the 12 pro max, it had a bigger sensor then the 12 pro

[@TheHybridShooter]

Smaller sensor in non-max is more suitable for demonstrating the differences, which was the purpose of this video.

Action mode in video on the 14 pro?

"All 3 generation use a 6.1 inch display with [...] 120Hz refresh rate" You may want to reconsider that at 10:13.

[@TheHybridShooter]

It is written in the pinned comment.

[@Jonathantuba]

To my eyes ProRes video does increase the quality noticeably and makes me satisfied to use. The new 48mp ProRaw images on the 14 Pro are incredible, I use every day. It is the first iPhone camera i have really been happy to use instead of my full frame camera. My process is to edit in Light Room, save as JPG and then delete the Raw. Similarly I edit the ProRes video in LumaFusion, and then delete the original huge files. Even on 1TB iPhone it will soon fill up otherwise

[@TheHybridShooter]

ProRes makes no difference in video IQ whatsoever.

[@GrandHuevotes]

You said all three phone screens have 120hz refresh rate.. not the 12 pro. 12 pro is 60hz

[@TheHybridShooter]

Yes, correct, sorry about that.

[@Shady.Moustafa]

Great review but Some people say that iphone 13 pro macro is better than iphone 14 pro macro as in iphone 13 pro you can get closer to object you shoot than you can in iphone 14 is that right ?

[@fijiwill2237]

No, the new pro takes better macros in 1x now not 0.5x & alot of reviewers are slow and don’t know this.

[@madirxzstellthebos1983]

12pro good

[@Andro189]

Wow this is one of the best Cameracomparison for 14 Pro Camera Videos! And believe me…. I‘ve seen a lot of 😂👍🏼

Iphone 12 vs iphone 13 vs iphobe 14

[@riananindita2385]

Great

[@GarrettXPrime]

excellent vid bascially if you have an iphone 12 pro max its still probably not worth upgrading just yet

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you! Depends on your expectations.

[@parkout95]

So i guess ill save money and buy the iphone 12 pro It looks exactly the same I dont see why i should spend $600 extra for an exact phone with different number 😂

[@TheHybridShooter]

There is a lot that you don't see in that case.

[@robbyb.8905]

iPhone 12 Pro does not have a pro motion display

[@andresgonzalezcerda7635]

Interesting. Many thanks! By photos I Don’t see the advantage of iPhone 14. Waiting for your next episode about comparison with the dedicated camera ( Sony A7Iv?) Have a great day.

[@TheHybridShooter]

My pleasure! As you can see in the video, 14 Pro has a huge advantage, but only if you shoot RAW. If not there is really not difference in most situations.

[@alchemist_x79]

My 12 Pro Max was my first iphone since the 3s and I'm still fine with it. I got an a7RIII and RIV so I rarely use the iphone for anything beyond snapshots. My phone plan is up in January, then I'll decide if I even want to upgrade or wait for an iPhone 15 or even 16... if I don't decide to go back to Andorid instead (unlikely since LG stopped making phones, which is why I switched back to iphone in the first place.)

Hi good morning
