Another thought: The products are so complex now, that my easy guess is almost nobody uses their products like Smartphone, Camera, 3D-Printer, Stream Deck, Tablet, etc. etc. to its full potential. Example: Tutorials about less known feature in Smartphone Operating Systems are very popular and have a lot of viewers. Or Tutorials how to change settings in a Camera or the like. All those things are so full of features, most people don’t even know them all.

@Regantdarcy2 ай бұрын
You’re absolutely right, sensor size makes more of a difference in quality smartphone pics(especially in low light) than the number of mega pixels. Some youtubers get that, but most don’t. I know the laws of physics currently prevent smartphones from getting sensors the size of FF, Crop or even micro 4/3rd mirrorless cameras… but perhaps technologies in the future will. 🤷♂️ Until then, most iphone camera updates will be slight improvements over the prior year’s cameras. But still, it is amazing how far smartphone cameras have come!
@MrPaulXavier2 ай бұрын

@paulhorn242 ай бұрын
But isn’t it depending both ways? Smaller sensor sizes don’t need so large and heavy lenses like FF, APS oder Four-Thirds?? Maybe it‘s not the future for Flagship Smartphones to increase the sensor sizes massively, but build faster lenser which let more light through???

I personally think 1 inch sensors are the sweet spot in regards of sensor sizes. At least for the main camera. And have the current sensor sizes be used for the telephoto and ultra wide lenses. Those can definitely use a size bump.

Good points, and thank you for the content. As a cinematographer and teacher, I have a slightly different approach. Every year, I upgrade to the latest iPhone Pro Max, regardless of the changes, because I have a network of trusted buyers who are willing to pay a premium for my used gear. This includes camera-specific accessories, making it feel like I’m essentially leasing the newest equipment. This method keeps me at the forefront of technology and gives me the time to fully explore new features as I adapt to them. Often, what may seem like a minor update at launch reveals its true potential over time, especially as third-party developers introduce tools that make the most of these advancements. For instance, the new Action Control button on the iPhone 16 will likely have more functions than we can currently anticipate. As a professional and educator, staying updated on the latest technology and uncovering its potential is essential. Compared to the cost of upgrading traditional professional cameras, the yearly expense of upgrading iPhones is relatively small. In fact, just one high-level job can easily cover the cost, making it a worthwhile investment in both my work and continued learning.

I’m a bit fed up of a lot reviewers talking about iPhone, Pixel or Galaxy phones being incremental upgrades and not worth upgrading when data shows the global average of having Phone is 3.5-4 years. Pretty much every major flagship phone this year is worth upgrading if you have a 3/4 year old phone. I’m upgrading to a iPhone 16 Pro from an iPhone 12 and my wife from her iPhone 11. Like you said this is not worth upgrading if you have an iPhone 15 and even an iPhone 14 for me unless you a part of the less than 3% of people that upgrade every year.
@nauscakes18682 ай бұрын
Another thing to consider when debating between a phone and a dedicated camera is that if you upgrade your phone often enough, you can simply choose not to trade in your old phone and use it as a dedicated camera too. I've seen a few KZbinrs who film with 1-3 iPhones, and they just keep their old ones and integrate them into their own set-up. As for using a phone as a teleprompter or keeping notes. A laptop or iPad helps for that too. --- I personally think a big-boy camera is only worth getting if you're already a big fan of photography and you're looking to upgrade something you're already doing. Like you need the upgrade to bring your current work to the next level. Othewise I would never recommend someone just buy a big-boy camera as part of a start-up kit. -- Another random advantage for an iPhone if you don't trade in the old one. If you take two phones travelling. Your daily driver and a back-up camera phone. If your daily driver gets lost, stolen, or broken and you're in a foreign country, you can use your hotel wifi to upload your backup to your older phone and that way you'll still have access to your Apple wallet and anything else you needed digitally. But if you're rich, you can just buy a new phone at your travel destination too. But Apple phones tend to be much overpriced outside of America.

@@MrPaulXavier this is nothing new and same for more or less all smartphone’s except a few with 1 inch sensors. But computational photo and videos have shown giving better result as in Google Pixel Phones, Samsung or Apple which even using smaller sensor with very small pixel are still proving better performance. Adding bigger sensors again brings other challenges. And I’ll suppose this is one of the reason Apple is bringing this fusion sensor technology as one way to provide good video quality only in 4k which require only 12 mega pixel, than giving us 6K or 8k. And I’ll believe Apple had tried to do 4k oversampled from 6K or 8k and find out grouping pixel was providing better quality/performance/battery life/… ratio. My point is you guys should stop sticking to those standard talking point and try to consider what could led to such decisions instead of all time assuming Google, Samsung, Apple or other are just trying to full consumer with marketing jargon.

I'm not a photographer, but I think that the difference between using any smartphone vs any mirrorless or DSLR is not just image (or video) quality, I think that the gap in any scenario might shorten over time, but in the flexibility each system offers. I don't know why (unless for economic reasons) you must choose only one. The smartphone will be available on the go, and you could probably take your phone from the pocket and capture something within 15 seconds, while it would take longer if you need to remove your mirrorless from the backpack. However, having different lenses, flashes and other equipment will have other benefits, I think. Price wise, I think that any smartphone will be cheaper than going to a profesional camera if you consider lenses and other stuff. However, it's good to know where each system is better, and not looking at choosins as a versus, but as to when one is better suited than the other.

I love the camera button it sits on the right place and is great to use with one hand if you use like me the Torras case. so great for shooting with only one hand free. It’s a pro phone it’s not for everyone and if you go with the 1TB you have enough space todo a 90 min ProRes shot. Or you should get the Smalrig mobile filmmaker kit and use the build in nano ssd with it. Kameras are nearly the same as my 15pro but they were already good I don’t complain, for me the 4K/120 made me buy this beast.

Why not just make 24 MP sensors to begin with? Same quality for good light, big enough pixels for low light and also native 24 MP photos, no binning necessary

Re digital cameras: Don't forget that older models of both cameras and lenses are mostly still awesome performers. And the market for pre-owned older cameras and lenses is well worth looking into. Digital camera updates don't follow the hectic schedule of smartphones, lenses even less so. Learn photography, don't let programmers decide for you how actual reality should look like. Even iPhone's ProRAW is computationally manipulated.

Great content and very interesting and captivating to watch. You got a new subscriber 😁. I got a 13 pro with a dji gimbal and use it mainly to shoot 4K family vacation videos post edited with iMovie + family events photos of course. Reading spec it’s worth it to upgrade to 16 pro theoretically (wide lens aligned in pixels with others, low light conditions improved) but not sure anymore after watching your video. Do you confirm please ?

While I enjoy using my iPhone for casual shooting and video taking, it’ll never replace my DSLR as my main shooter for more “serious” photography. The sensor size difference alone makes that a no-brainer for me. And I have other, more niche cameras for fun shooting, like an old ranger finder, Polaroid etc. My iPhone is a wonderful point and shoot, though, and is the camera that I always have on me. It’s just that my big cameras are still very much in another league.

Something worth mentioning is, the new button on the iphone was made for intended (horizontal shooting) , just by placement it should be understood. Idk why people are trying to use it in a way its not intended lol. But from watching alot of reviews I now think I understand why Apple is kinda afraid to innovate and try new or weird things whether on how the phone is shaped, how things are placed etc, because everytime they do they get backlash for it. Also something to note, nobody doing "pro-like" work with the iphone to shoot videos is ever using the camera app, they use other apps from the appstore and apple stated that developers would be able to use the button. So lets see how it goes. Btw , not saying people should complain eh, thats how things improve. I just said what I said as somethings to keep in mind.
@danieldickerson48382 ай бұрын
The camera button is intended for both horizontal and vertical use, hence Apple’s own marketing showcasing both orientations utilizing the button. The camera button just isn’t in the most optimal nor comfortable place for a lot of people, it is what it is with this current model year. I also don’t see a trillion dollar company being, “afraid” to innovate and try new things, because they could possibly receive backlash. Such has never stopped them before. Apple are simply slow to implement certain ideas into their own products, waiting to see how well those features will be accepted, or waiting until something is mature enough to spring on it. Has nothing to do with the fear of innovation.

5:07 Hobbyist knows the tools some time even better than the pro, so I’ll not bet on that, except if you’re the type of people to entertain the cliches! The camera control obviously has been made to be used in landscape mode not in portrait mode! It’s like complaining about you cannot use your fork to have your soup! Now is that button useful at all? Only time will tell as it will definitely take people to get used to it worst for those with hardcore muscle memory like you! If it’s still there on the iPhone 17 that would eventually mean more people than you’re thinking now are actually liking this button (which per Apple I shouldn’t be calling a button!)

It’s definitely landscape favorable but apples has featured it many times being used vertically. If it was purely landscape they would have moved it down more

@@MrPaulXavier moving it down more could have other impacts on the structural safety capabilities of the phone titanium frame. Adding this smart button (Apple don’t want it to be called a button) already adding a hole which reduces already the overall frame rigidity.

Guys: for landscape format: Try using the new camera control with your thumb, so you need to turn your iPhone 16 about 180°. Using it with your thumb and not your index finger makes a big difference to many users.

I can’t believe they took away the iconic silent switch. The newer action button is lame. They could have just allowed you to map the switch. I’m hoping it comes back in the next gen. I’m holding off on the upgrade with high hopes. I don’t know anyone irl that prefers the action button over the switch.
