@corsinivideos9 ай бұрын
I actually think the most shocking thing about this video is the fact that i actually prefered the Xiaomi video. Generally speaking no one can compete with apple on video but xiaomis because of the larger sensor i expect is actually more natural less over processed and crisper and the stabilisation is amazing. When it comes to stills, yes xiaomi needs to sort out their over exposure and personally i think iphone takes overly warm and overly contrasted images that dont look natural but xiaomi have doen an amazing job. Also all of xiaomis photos have noticibly less grain. Apple has done some greeat work on portrait masking though. For me though the pixel is still the still image king when it comes to balance and colours.
@delpinsky9 ай бұрын
It actually surprised me a lot the video comparison! Well done Xiaomi. But that portrait mode is weird. As you can see iPhone automatically crops the image for the portrait mode, zooming in with the main camera, if I'm not wrong, because the Pro Max doesn't have anymore the 3x dedicated zoom. Xiaomi simply applies the bokeh on the whole picture. Probably for a better comparison we should see a 2x/crop of the picture, to better appreciate the quality. As for the over exposure, considering the aperture is only f/1.9, but the sensor is so big that captures more light, clearly it would need better software to tone down the exposure in default mode. For the skin tones, both Apple and Google worked intensively on algorithms to fix it, especially on darker skins, which means Xiaomi should work on it. But it's all software for what it seems to me, so it's something than could be fixed, if they wanted to, correct me if I'm wrong...

iPhone 15 Pro Max heats up to very hot temp that is becomes difficult to hold and then it auto dims the screen brightness and then starts cooling down. When it auto dims you can't even increase its screen brightness manually no matter how hard you try it will not increase till the phone gets cooled down. This happened to me in 15 Pro Max in India , on using video camera for merely 40 to 60 seconds.

@multireel75909 ай бұрын
Good comparison! Cheers! Some idea's coming from a long term photographer/videographer that might be of interest for coming reviews. 1) Regarding evening photography. Some phone's will lower the shutter speed quite a bit more compared to others. They do this to get lower ISO's and reduce noise. First reviewer response is usually: "Ah, so this phone is better at night, because it shows slightly less noise" But there's no free lunch... the lower shutter speed creates a higher chance of a blurry pic. It's nice to have clean pic's, but it's also nice if your uncle with a bit less steady hand can also take the family picture at your brothers nephews sisters former roommate's wedding. So please add the exif info for evening/night shots. 2) There are short bursts of blur in the video at the 1:18 mark. It is more obvious on the iPhone because the iPhone apparently uses a lower shutter speed for video. It's a known side effect of digitally stabilizing video where the shutter speed isn't up to par to keep every frame sharp. 3) In their efforts to reduced noise in photo's to an absolute minimum, phone manufacturers tend to increase noise filtering to untold levels. At the same time they want to keep the images look sharp and thus they increase the artificially sharpening to equally untold levels. Don't fall into the trap of 'more sharpening and noise filtering = better photo. 100% crops of dogs or cats is a good way of telling what's happening. Any other camera manufacturer has figured out ages ago what a good photo should look like, so it's unfortunate this filtering/sharpening thing still seems a stubborn issue with phone camera's. It has no technical reason to do it anyways. Apple has been tone-deaf for years on this issue (the internet is full of this), but luckily with IOS17 they finally decided to make a change for the better. The Oppo Find X6 Pro started with excessive sharpening too in it's post processing, but luckily after the second update or so, the sharpening was toned down.

Nice because comparisons with the 13 Ultra are not common because the device is not very popular here in Europe and I imagine in America compared to a Samsung or an iPhone. I have the 13 Ultra and I notice inconsistencies in the exposure, sometimes underexposed (especially 5X and ultra wide angle), sometimes the opposite. Otherwise it is efficient with its large sensor which gives good fine details without really being over sharp. Thanks for this comparison 👌

Yes more bokeh is shallower depth of field, more depth of field is sharper background. Closer than I thought, btw I heard the regular iPhone 15s have a better camera than the pros this year. Newer 48mp sensor, closer focusing distance, that's why the flowers won't focus here. Smaller sensor but somewhat sharper. iPhone 5x portraits are insane, looks like a camera. In terms of color profiles, I like realme cinematic tone.
