iPhone is like a song in MP3 format, lower quality but a lot more convenient and versatile (and cheaper). Dedicated camera is like a CD or vinyl, much higher (sound) quality but requires setup and knowledge to operate properly in order to accentuate its full potential. For most of the people, MP3 is a better choice.

[@drewmilwahkee1747]

If you can get close enough then yes you cant tell the difference ie the violin shot. Or if you take wide shots ie the city shot then sure but the moment you dont get close enough for the tiny sensor on the iphone to create seperation you can tell. Still looks good. I think this is why iphone works for travel. You are mostly taking wide sprawling shots of mountains or twirly shots on the beach. You cant tell in those scenarios because it doesnt require that background seperation

[@gordon3988]

This was very well done! I guessed correctly which was which, largely as the iPhone looks good, but a camera just a bit better. Frankly, I think the iPhone looks closer to real life whereas the camera looks perhaps more movie like. I find now that my iPhone is always with me (not as a camera…but it does get that role too..especially for quick photos), but for photos and video I I carry an action camera and a small camera (in my case a Sony Rx100vii) and I’m set. The Sony largely for its Zoom, the action for vlogging and poor weather and the iPhone for quick shots I might want to share easily. Everything takes up almost no room and so light. The reason I can see for a ‘proper’ camera these days is for the art side or for great zoom needs (wildlife is one example). If you really enjoy taking photos (or video) as a hobby, somewhat pixel peep or need it for artistic uses (e.g. wedding or other pro services) a camera and lenses are a great way to go. Otherwise a set up like mine (choose your own small camera of preference) is close to perfect, especially if you just post on social media. My ‘real’ mirrorless LUMIX camera rarely gets any use, unless for studio work..just too big when you add lenses. That said, for my use case I keep looking for another that is small (lenses too) and relatively light and the 6700 is on the list. Ideally a camera and maybe (?) two lenses for a total of 1.1kg or so.

[@thefilmalliance]

That's awesome that you were able to identify the footage from each camera. I agree, the iPhone's color science a lot of times looks very true-to-life in program auto. It's super interesting to hear how you've got your camera setup dialed in for different situations. That's really the key, isn't it? Having the right tool for the job, and it sounds like you've figured that out. I'm always curious to see what Sony can do to pack amazing performance into a smaller body with the Sony a6700 compared to how Apple does it. Thanks for the comment

[@carolebriggs5280]

I have the iPhone 15 pro. It does take amazing photos. I’m really considering getting the a6700. Can’t decide on lenses. The Sigma 18-50/2.8 you recommended is $520. Yikes. Maybe I’ll just stick with my Sony Rx10 iv. It does great and no lenses to buy!

[@thefilmalliance]

I know - that lens is expensive, but man the difference between that and the kit lens is substantial. So yes, I'd say stick with the RX10 iv for now until you save up for that Sony a6700 paired with a good lens. No need for you to pickup the iPhone 16 Pro

[@carolebriggs5280]

Great comparison! As expected, the a6700 edged out the iPhone when pixel peeping. The average person is amazed at the quality of images coming from the iPhone. At this point, iPhone has proved itself in almost every category. They are even shooting a $75million feature film on iPhone. In my mind, when they make iPhone work with a flash trigger, it's game over!

[@thefilmalliance]

Oh wow, really? I didn’t know that. Thats crazy

[@eweelyliemberg9237]

When comparing the quality of devices like the Sony A6700 and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it's essential to take advantage of the maximum capabilities of each device to get a fair comparison. Using the most advanced color formats and profiles offered by each device, such as S-Log3/Gamut3 on the Sony A6700 and ProRes 422 with Apple Log on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, will allow both to reach their full potential in terms of dynamic range, color gradation, and detail. Additionally, by capturing at 60 fps on both devices, an equivalence in fluidity and sharpness in shots with movement is ensured, which is relevant in video comparisons. Using these advanced profiles and formats also gives room to compare the editing capacity in post-production, since both S-Log3 and Apple Log are designed to retain as much color and exposure information as possible from their respective sensors. That would be the REAL AND FAIR comparison to demonstrate which has better quality, color, and texture in the image regardless of the bokeh. I compared the iPhone 14 Pro Max's main camera (1x) in ProRes 422 with Rec. 2020 at 30fps against the Sony ZV-E10 in S-Log3/Gamut3 at 30fps, using the sharpest equivalent Sony APS-C lens (Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G SEL15F14G). The Sony ZV-E10 was slightly better in sharpness, likely due to the quality of the lens. When zoomed in to 400x, sharpness was noticeably better on the Sony. Additionally, the Sony ZV-E10 showed greater detail in the shadows, which was evidence of its superior dynamic range. The difference was more noticeable in dynamic range than in detail and sharpness. The Sony also demonstrated better colorimetry thanks to the Gamut3 profile, which outperforms Rec. 2020 in this regard. In conclusion, the ZV-E10 has slightly superior texture and sharpness to the iPhone, but stands out notably for its dynamic range in the shadows. A real comparison of the maximum capacity of the Sony a6700 Slog3/Gamut3 XAVC S-I (4:2:2, 10-bit) 59.94p (600Mbps) with the Sony E 15mm f/1.4 G SEL15F14G lens vs iPhone 16 Pro Max ProRes 422/Apple Log 60p would be very interesting. That would be a fair comparison. Correct exposure for S-Log3 (IRE 41 for mid-grey 18%) generally requires slightly overexposing compared to Apple Log, as Apple Log (IRE 38 for mid-grey 18%). This should also be taken into account for a fair comparison.

[@thefilmalliance]

Your specifications would give a highly accurate comparison although most people are open the box and film people. And most of those people shoot in program auto. You are an expert and although that would be a great way to test, I believe it would only interest me, you and a few others. This video is more for your average Joe. The Sony e 15mm plus a6700 puts you over $2k. So that would be a tough one

I know you always compare iPhones to real cameras since the iPhone has historically had the best video capabilities on the smartphone market, but this years Google Pixel 9 Pro shows some really impressive results when using the Video Boost feature which uses AI to enhance the video. I cannot stress this enough, the video out of the Pixel is amazing. Maybe you should include it next time you do a smartphone vs real camera comparison video.

[@thefilmalliance]

This is great advice, I’m looking into it now

[@iamakkkshay]

There is a huge bug in apple LOG when shooting with pro manual camera settings via Blackmagic app, the issue is that the white clipping point for Apple LOG is not constant for lower ISO values which shifts the histogram to left and crushes the shadow details and even make False Colour and Highlights Clipping Lights useless as at base 55 ISO the footage clips at about 60-70 IRE instead of 95 IRE which is there when using Auto ISO/Shutter speed setting or using Manual settings only above ISO 1250. This uneven white clipping point in LOG even affects the LUT and reduce the overall dynamic range of the sensor at base ISO of 55. Majority of sensor Analog gain is available only till ISO 400 as rest of it is just digital gain adding up which reduces the signal to noise ratio of image as you go higher. Seems Apple designed LOG only to be used in auto exposure mode via stock camera app with tons of Baked in Noise Reduction.

[@thefilmalliance]

This was informative. I do see a lot of noise in that lower ISO range and deduced it was from the sensor size. But now that you mention it I see what you're saying. Great point and addition to the conversation. Appreciate it

can't believe people are still confused about this or even having a hard time to decide. obviously what's better or right for you is based on use case scenario. no way in hell people would pick a phone camera for video/photo purposes only. if you have to pick one and does not have a phone that can't handle your day to day task. then go for the phone. if your phone is working fine for what's intended to be based on your lifestyle, go for the dedicated camera.... this is like, should I pick a Ferrari for my commute to work or Toyota Corolla?

Image quality comes from a good sensor. The best sensors can shoot moving subjects in lowish light. Good sensors can also shoot with flexibility in the edit suite, smartphone editing is computational rather than data driven. It’s smart interpretation. Like the matrix making everything taste like chicken. Smartphones fall apart in shooting scenarios like I.e in the house with 40w lights on. Smartphones have tiny sensors and will never replace mirrored cameras. Smartphones are terrible in low light and moving subjects. They use computational photography which looks okish on a small screen but once you zoom in they all look terrible. Not many reviewers will zoom in I find KZbin very one sided in favour of the iPhone just due to the Apple shoulder rub.

Reading a sensor at 10bit is much faster hence iPhone can do it faster that too after pixel binning to 8MP. Mirrorless cameras on other hand have a 14bit sensor that reads out at 12bit for video except Fujifilm XH2s that uses 14bit video readout for up to 6K 60FPS.
