Pixel 4 VS $5,000 A7R3 Camera - Can You Tell The Difference?!

Gooooood Morniiiiing!💥 Drop your guesses below! 👇👇👇 Also Come say hi on Instagram! ♥️ Instagram.com/pierretlambert

[@ezy_id]

Do you have a link of your video, how was being a ponsel photography???

[@ssaini5028]

Scary how good the Pixel 4 is, very small sensor. But you can easily tell it apart from a DSLR, software can only do so much, big sensor there is no replacement for that. That Bokeh from the Sony is beautiful! I wonder what the Pixel 5 will bring next year

[@LOUISVILLECARDINALS]

[@mejdi7755]

Of course we can’t tell the difference when watching a KZbin video on a smartphone’s screen!

[@Quoutub]

In particular because they were edited. Basically the only advantage would be a higher resolution. That's why a comparison with edited photos is boring. It would be basically nothing else than a megapixel comparison. If one wouldn't edit and wouldn't use manual settings, the Sony would have no chance.

[@benjiang9789]

Based on my experience, the greatest differences between a camera and cellphone are revealed when we take photos of people. The subtle shades of skin colours.

[@sdb87149]

Also depends on the lighting. Something with really funky lighting, the huge sensor has a much greater dynamic range. Also anything in dark, at night or long exposure isn’t possible with a phone

[@RoamRoadless]

Can you do a side by side with them? It would make it alot easier to reference that way

[@Pierretlambert]

Will do

You can’t tell the difference on KZbin but in person camera phones just don’t compare and aren’t even close on print or on a decent monitor.

[@mikecarr1484]

Have you seen photos taken by a newer phone. ? I think not.

[@mikecarr1484]

My pixel is faster in every way. Shelved my 1200 cannon pixel takes just as good raw photos.

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Mike Carr oh geez!

[@opaliittiopa]

@@mikecarr1484 A phone will never be as good as a real camera, mostly due to the size. You just cant fit very large sensor into a phone. And I used to think that phone camera is good enough and then I bought a real dslr and learned how to edit properly and damn the difference with smartphone (huawei flagship) was massive. Even the unedited RAW photos were sooo much different. The phone RAW photos were ALWAYS noisier, less sharp and colors were off. If smartphones were as good as dslr's, why would anyone take photos with large and heavy cameras anymore?

[@creedpowell]

I'd love to see you print these photos at a sizes larger than a cellphone screen up to 20x30 and see if there is a difference.

[@Quoutub]

Christopher Powell Not necessary, one just needs to show a crop or zoom into a photo. But even then, it would be basically nothing else than a megapixel comparison.

[@creedpowell]

@@Quoutub . A digital screen and a print show different results.

[@creedpowell]

@@Quoutub also the size and type of pixel matters. I have been printing photos for 35 years. There is a difference between almost every source beyond mega pixel count.

[@creedpowell]

@@Quoutub for example a 12mp full frame camera and a 12mp 1" sensor offer very different results.

Yeah would be good! I did a print run with a phone pic. You can tell in the small details!

[@dude157]

I have a pixel 4, but I'm envious of the skyscraper water reflection on that A7R

[@nay4n]

Great video as always! The Pixel 4 camera is truly amazing, was hard to tell the difference up until the leaf shot, then you could tell straight away with the quality of the bokeh on the A7R3. The portrait video will be interesting because the Pixel 4 takes amazing portraits. I look forward to it!

[@Pierretlambert]

Thanks!!

[@1029db]

To be able to put a phone with that kind of camera power in your pocket is honestly amazing. The Pixel does so many things besides just camera. The dedicated camera will always be better, but being even close is amazing!

[@vinade2100]

I think there is no difference in infinite focus but when you shoot close objects, portrait style kinda, that added bokeh gives the pixel away. Sometimes it worked flawless but some shots you can see where its struggling, like hair, those yellow grasses. So very very fine detail. For instagram totally fine, for business... Depends on your client and what he'll/she'll be using it for.

[@Pierretlambert]

True! Can't wait to try on portrait thought! It really improved lately. Will never be the same but fun to see anyways,!!

[@vinade2100]

@@Pierretlambert it's definitely worth it, since you can adjust your background blur in post as well! So if you are not satisfied or it messed up, you can just add more or less bokeh and safe your image.

Totally agree. If someone was blowing the images up for a print or canvas; you'd notice it for sure.

[@AviusX]

Just got this video in my recommended. I got 4/6 right. One suggestion I have is to show the photos side-by-side instead of showing one after the other when doing comparison videos. Makes it a hell of a lot easier to compare instead of rewinding and forwarding the video over and over again.

[@koynov333]

ofc there are differences on bigger resolution. I can't understand why so many people compare pfones with real cameras

[@williamashrafzadeh3701]

the point isn't that there is no difference. the point is that the difference is shrinking as cameras on phones get better

[@petermuller5896]

@@williamashrafzadeh3701 the difference didn't change at all. Nowadays they just add make up for the phone cameras to hide how bad it really looks compared to a camera. Some phones make unrealistic sharp pictures because of all the "make-up" as I like to call it and destroy a lot of the footage in my opinion. Plus the phone sensor is way smaller then a camera sensor so a comparison really is=bs

[@glorious240fps6]

@@williamashrafzadeh3701 "as cameras on phones get better" - as if DSLR and other real cameras aren't getting better?? The technology in real cameras aren't just sitting duck. As the phone cameras are improving,the real cameras are also improving. So the delta between phone cameras and real cameras isn't shrinking a bit. It's the same arguement about smartphone performance and desktop performance.

[@williamashrafzadeh3701]

@@glorious240fps6 the tech in larger dlsr cameras aren't advancing at the same rate as phones are so the delta is shrinking (with the help of computational photography), just at a slow rate. Theres a limit to how many mpx you can have on a sensor. for example, we probably wont see a 50 mpx m4/3 anytime soon. So for now, we effectively have a plateau (for smaller formats, which should be obvious) which allows smartphones to catch up a bit. But mpx aren't everything and computational photography is helping smartphones a lot. dont get me wrong I hate automation but you cant deny how far. smartphones have come. Also the market for better cameras in smartphones is far bigger, leading to more R&D in those areas

[@williamashrafzadeh3701]

@@petermuller5896 I agree that phones make an excessively over sharpened image and I don't like it either. However, phone sensors are tiny in comparison, so the fact that the images aren't wretched is a miracle 😂 again I agree comparing full frame to a 1/2.5" sensor is pointless though

[@ekspresija101]

Comparisons between pro cameras and phones on youtube pretty much look like racing between a sport car, let's say porsche 911 and some budget family car like toyota corolla, but with speed limiter on a porsche to match the speed of a toyota. If you want fair comparison you need to pull out the maximum out of both devices, make long exposure shot of that lake, shot portrait with 85 1.4, do a macro shot with dedicated macro lens, do a moon shot with telephoto.... don't just do random snap shots and call it a day.

1,2 photos of pixel 4 so impressive. Even naket eyes can't make difference

[@TheVlatko666]

I can clearly see the difference even with the KZbin compression, photo number 1 Sony contained way more detail and it's properly exposed, photo number two is even easier to tell the difference, look at how distorted buildings are on Pixel 4, they look like they are being bent inwards and blown away by wind at the same time. Whereas on Sony camera, the buildings do not have any distortion. It may not be enough for some to go with a camera, but that makes the whole difference to photographers. Plus, people forget all the time, photographers do not buy professional cameras just for the image quality, they buy them for reliability, functions, and versatility when it comes to lenses. Cameras are real workhorses, they almost never fail, and they deliver in all kinds of weather conditions, they are the AK-47s in photography world. Whereas a smartphone is the jack of all trades but master of none, sometimes images look good, sometimes they don't and if l tried to use my smartphone as a camera it wouldn't be able to keep up with my needs, not to mention the fake bokeh it creates with its stupid software, whereas cameras create buttery smooth bokeh with lenses.

Why do people make these videos? No one argues that cell phones are miles above he old point and shoots. Pixel depth, sensor size, RAW files, fine tune camera controls, and lens options obviously make APS or full frame cameras better. On screen via a KZbin video, you aren't going to see drastic differences especially when you are matching the settings between phone and camera.

For colour, dynamic range, focusing and exposure phones have become very good. I wish camera manufacturers can make improvements at the same rate as phones. You will tell the difference between a photo taken using a phone and camera with a larger sensor when you zoom.. Camera photos look better. I shoot with both and that is where I see the main difference.

[@salmonsmoothie]

Smartphones are never going to beat out cameras. Wide angle photos in broad daylight won't look much different, but when it comes to low light and zoom the camera will always out on top. Smartphone sensors have to be tiny so they're terrible in low light. And of course digital zoom is no match for optical zoom.

[@pepedombo3819]

Come on, this movie is total bullshit. Comparing images that are maybe 300px wide on compressed YT movie :P You don't really need to mention low light situations, it's enough that poor smartphone will get into shade and its ISO hits 400 or 800 and then NR brings doom to these matrices and image detail. Photos from phones are good when viewed on their own displays. I wonder if people who watch videos like this also find themselves comparing 40W bulb to 500W halogen :P

[@letni9506]

My phone takes nice sharp photos but when I zoom in just a little they start to look more like a painting than a photo. Very clever and not noticeable unless you zoom in but I do and it really turns me off the picture. Houses in the background look real until you look close but then look like someone has dabbed a splodge of paint on a canvas 😀 But this is with a £300 phone. Not tried the likes of the iPhone but I'd imagine they use similar techniques to overcome the sensor and lens?
