I'm actually keen to test the camera on my iPhone 5. Some of my really old photos have a really … filmic? … look to them, not "good" but just old-fashioned, with crushed blacks etc etc.

[@MrA-lexxx]

I‘m with you on x3 lens. I had to get a new phone, waited for an Apple event and got … a brand-new 15 pro instead. What were they thinking, how do you leave a gap between somewhat usable 48mm (x2) and a 120mm lens? No portrait-range lens at all and a mild tele to replace a really useful lens? If they don‘t want to put a fourth sensor in the phone, they should at least go with a 77mm and 48mp sensor, that will still give you somewhat decent 12mp at x6…

[@ramonkroutz]

Educate yourself on what a megapixel is. Let me know your conclusions.

[@MrA-lexxx]

⁠@@ramonkroutzI could even educate you, if you‘d be a lesser ars. I’m a photographer with more than 40 years of taking pictures, and a master‘s degree in computer science on top, so go love yourself.

[@oivasquezc]

After watching the Toneh nortrup video I don't even wanna bother with these iPhone cameras

[@ramonkroutz]

@@MrA-lexxx sweetie, than you'd know a phone sensor size is and always will be inferior to cameras. And the hype of having more mpixels is just that. A hype.

[@MrA-lexxx]

⁠@@ramonkroutzsweetie, if you‘d be learning math in the school like other kids were, you’d know that a x2 crop from a 48mp sensor gives you 12mp luminance-wise with only reduced chrominance resolution due to quad bayer color filter. Which I take any day of the week over oversampled 3mp picture blown up to 12mp that you‘ll get under same conditions with a 12mp sensor. Smartphones as camera is always a compromise, but I don’t always have my Nikon dslr with all the lenses in my pocket when I might want to use it. My phone, however…

[@Randuski]

So the 5X, I prefer the 5X telephoto for everyday, non photography stuff. “That guy across the street is wearing a stupid hat, I wanna send a pic to my friend”. But for actual photography, I would 100% prefer the 3x. It’s great for portraiture, and I just don’t have any interest in such a long lens. I was bummed to see them get rid of the 3x.

[@maximilianbredow6374]

Solution for 17 Pro: a 48mp 4x lens -> also supports 8x virtually

[@mic9657]

The problem is now, that all pro models will have bad quality from 3x to 5x (4.9x)

[@onlyfinsau]

How will it still be good quality after 1.1x? There is no zoom lens between main camera and 3x.

@@onlyfinsaubecause the main camera is now 48mp, so a 2x digital zoom from that lens will be 12mp still

4:15 you already can shoot on the 15 Pro/Max h.264/265 in Apple Log using third party app like the Blackmagic App (which is free). You don’t have to use the Apple native photo app neither the Final Cut Camera app to get what you want, so why this complaint?

[@stalman]

The bit rate of H265 BMC and Kino is way too low to prevent banding, and this is an API issue effecting all third party apps

[@diotimaeidos]

missed your poll but I think I would prefer the 77mm lens to 120mm. But do we have any sense yet of how good it will be at computing a good 77mm equivalent shot? (Similarly, how good the plain 16 non-pro will be at this, even without any tele lens?)

[@zabdielscoon3041]

Are there any 3x telephoto lenses you would use with your iPhone? I see company’s like moment have 2x.

[@whophd]

1:55 I'm confused … why is the size of pro log raw video a concern? Earlier you said you don't see the point of HDR video and just use SDR. But if size matters so much, and you want to manipulate the video, you'll get more out of an HDR compressed video (especially a 4K120 one) and it's also 10-bit, but my point is it has the bitrate to match. Whereas raw has insane bitrates yes, and is for very specific purposes only. I just can't see the purpose of using both extremes - smallest SDR MP4 and huge raw video - when the middle-ground is right there. Every HDR video can be downmapped to SDR if you prefer SDR. But if you want to draw more detail out of it, HDR 10-bit also gives SOME of that to you, but with WAY lower data rates, like 99% better.

[@whophd]

So a tip: Even if you're targeting for 4K24 or 1080p24, just shoot 4K120 HDR compressed with HEVC. This has a ton of information that you're used to seeing in virtually-uncompressed footage. Try a bit in your workflow! See if you can tell the footage was shot on HEVC vs ProRes. Obviously it depends what your final delivery format is, but an A/B test would be edifying.

[@TechOutAdam]

This new iPhone makes me wonder what direction they are going for next year. It's almost like this is a step before something bigger. Idk, I can upgrade if I want but may just stick with the iPhone 15 but those new video features are wicked nice.

[@jasfx7241]

Please drop that casetify sponsor

[@LeonardoAlexi]

A few upgrades I wanna see in the next 2 iPhone generations: - 48 megapixels telephoto camera (rumored for iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max) - 24 megapixels TrueDepth camera (rumored for iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max) - Sony IMX903 Stacked CMOS main camera Sensor (was rumored for the 16 Pro Max but did not make it) - This will be a game changer - A telephoto lens with continuous lossless optical zoom. LG Innotek has already released a model with 4x to 9x continuous optical zoom, but I think we need one with 1.01x to 10/12x optical zoom, and if that cannot be done with one lens, then two 48 megapixels telephoto lenses where one goes from e.g. 1.01x to 5x & the second goes from 5.01x to 10/12x.

[@karenorgan6203]

Did the microphones get covered by a case, or are they in the screen? I’m still running an iPhone 13 Pro and it is doing very poorly with my voice to text. As far as video goes I just have too much environmental noise for me to really know if it’s any good. I might look at the iPhone 17, I think that I still have another year left in this one. I got the new iPad this year and I got the AirPod max because the second generation doesn’t have enough changes and Costco had it for $220 less AppleCare included. Way of saying that I’ve already spent all my Apple money for this year.

Hopefully next year we will get a 48mp telephoto sensor and then we will finally have caught up to my old Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra from 2021 that had a 50MP main sensor, 48MP telephoto and 48 MP ultra wide. And even though it will have caught up on sensor resolution, it is still WAY behind on sensor size. The Mi 11 Ultra had a 1/1.12" main sensor, 1/2" telephoto and 1/2" ultra wide. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has 1/1.28" main, 1/3.06" telephoto and as yet there's no confirmation of the ultra wide sensor size but you can bet it wont be anywhere near 1/2". I love my iPhone but man, Apple really drags their feet on hardware updates. The mi 11 Ultra had an AMAZING camera. It was a bit inconsistent, probably due to Xiaomi's software/tuning but when it hit the sweet spot, it pumped out photos that were absolutely stunning and still way better than the best photos I have captured on my 15 Pro Max.

Also what’s up with the Spatial video limitation at 1080pX60? 3D video at 1080p in 2024??? Vision Pro has 4k resolution per each eye, so does Quest 3. Why are we limited to 1080pX60 and don’t even have 4kX30? Is it going to be one of those features that nobody uses on iPhone for several years because people don’t have Vision Pro and because nobody wants to watch 3D in 1080P on a huge virtual display?
