pixel 2's camera is really good but if you compare with iphone x's bokeh, pixel 2 is not really good at it. but i admit that pixel 2 is good at details
With her hair, I could tell 100% of the time, but if you have short hair, or its pulled up the iPhone does well. So it's all in the target audience, if you are not a camera enthusiast the latest smart phones have reached a point where you can create perfect photos for social media, you lose the additional detail with Facebook's aggressive compression that you would gain from a larger sensor.
Nice video man. To those wondering why these videos are made, it's because it's always a discussion point or point of contention. Many times photographers have a hard time getting work because phones have actually gotten very good with their cameras. So many photographers ONLY hold onto the argument that "DSLRs are better! iPhone X doesn't give you as much depth of field!". It's a very empty response by photographers. In general people know that DSLRs are "supposed to be better". However, many don't care. Why? Because of standards. Standards of acceptable "quality" aren't what they used to be. Photographers used to be looked at as magicians before the digital age. Mainly photographers had the cameras, the means and skills to produce prints. Eventually, point and shoots came along and many felt a sense of "I can be like a photographer" with their affordable point and shoot. Pro photographers with pro equipment still had the edge in quality and control. Now as phones have gotten better with dual cameras, wide apertures, simulated digital lighting, effects, etc that are meant to mimic what photographers do in-camera/studio/with lighting setups/and unique lenses, the average consumer has found the phones to be acceptable to the standards set forth by social media. What are those standards? 1. "Decent-enough" image. 2. Able to have the photo directly on you or shared with you without waiting for your photographer to finish editing for days, weeks or months. 3. Instant gratification. 4. Ability to post to social media or use in your website gallery immediately. So we as photographers honestly can sound "dated" by holding onto the argument about the technical camera. Why? Because it makes use look like we're all about the gear and not the craft/skill/art/business. That's why I like seeing SnapChick and others seemingly embrace the phone cameras as simply another tool to take good photos while not losing what makes them a photographer. I actually tell my clients "hey, I cannot keep up with your need to post phone photos on a daily basis because that iPhone X you have is convenient and takes nice shots. So you keep doing that. However, when you need this [I may show them an example] kind of shot, with the lighting, in studio or on locations, various angles, and premium quality...that's what I am here for." I basically sell my craft as a premium over the casual portraits with a good smartphone camera. Honestly, I'd still sell my services at a premium if I decided to use a smartphone camera professionally. Why? Because I value my ability in setting up lighting, in directing models to pose, in my post processing, in my flow and ability to consult my clients on photo usage, etc. We have to remember to embrace all these forms of technology by respecting ourselves and craft as more than the gear itself.
Possibly but my dslr camera have ability to upload photos using WiFi I disabled that option and cellphones don’t have rotating lcd screen with expendable batterie and memeory card my dslr does phones do not and phone batteries die fast with a lot of useless crap put onto them I always tell people phones are only good Shellie’s and closeups you picktures of distance and humming bird in motion use dslr
I realized yesterday my Note 8 can't do HDR while in portrait mode, pissed me off to no end! I feel that's the main area phones beat current ILCs, in built HDR removes so much of the PP I'd normally have to do
What the hell? Anytime I try to use portrait mode in low light, it doesn’t work at all. It says there’s not enough light and just takes a normal photo.
Ash Ohare that makes sense. No edits have been done to the dslr file and the iPhone file comes pre-edited. After edits you would see why people haven’t ditched there dslr’s for phones.
good test, thanks. The lack of detail is mostly due to the super aggressive noise reduction and compression of the IphoneX. I've done some tests using RAW and I must say, if there's enough light I'm REALLY impressed... there is much more detail there! Try it :)
Nice video. Most of the reviews I found on the iPhone X portrait mode have ranged from it's trash to it's just ok, to it's good but not as good as the Pixel 2/2XL portrait mode. So this is different, you're saying it's actually surprisingly good so I might try it out when I get the chance.
I have not tried the pixel 2 so I have no idea what Im missing haha. All I know is that its way more improved from when I used it last on the iPhone 7 Plus
Zed Pro Media I'm planning to buy an iphone as m going for a europe trip and i want to capture everything including hd videos. Will iphone x be good for recording videos? Does video has portrait mode as well? Plz reply
Yeah Canon C200. I dont normally use it for youtube videos. Usually just for client work. But I decided to use it on this video just because the autofocus is really good and I can trust it since I didnt have someone else running the camera and I had to do everything.
Iphone does a good job but iphone is always an iphone and it only emulates bokeh, what I’m trying to say is that smartphones these days are good at emulating things..on the other hand the DSLR is actually seeing bokeh just like the human eye could see too, you can also change lenses without vignettes, blurs and distortions So in my own opinion, dslr is the choice but if you know how to use both then both can be a good choice too
The 2.4 isn't the equivalent of a 2.4 on full frame depth of field wise. I don't know the multiplication needed to find out what it is though. Tony Northrop probably does. Phones are getting real good.
edshotsdotcodotuk well yeah if there was no “Bokeh emulation” going on everything would be in focus. The sensor is tiny and the lens is actually physically only 8mm. But it’s doing a good job at faking it and that’s all I set out to look at in making this video. Thanks for watching
very similar but iphone can't add the three dimensionality you get with a big sensor.I would like to see this feature implemented in dslr's so we can simulate that medium format depth on wide lens
iPhone x specs: Wide-angle: ƒ/1.8 aperture Telephoto: ƒ/2.4 aperture soon or later they will add another camera, prolly a 85mm @ f/2.8 to shoot even better portrait
IPhone is perfectly adequate for Web and Instagram, but still falls far short for print sizes or if you want cropping ability. For me the big thing is no zoom, being stuck with the focal length they chose, plus always the same "look", none of the fun or flexibility that different lenses give you.
I don't know the exact size of the sensor, but even at equivalent apertures wouldn't the bokeh be inherently different due to sensor size? It's sort of like how if you want to mimic bokeh from full frame to crop you have to multiple the aperture as well as the focal length to compose a similar picture, no?
WarChortle there is technically no Bokeh at all until you have an object like 2 inches from the iPhone camera. The Bokeh is all software in portrait mode. So it’s hard to answer what it’s really trying to look like as far as depth of field and aperture when compared to a real full frame camera. I left it at f2.5 because that’s what the iPhone is. Obviously they are two completely different sensor sizes so that doesn’t mean anything really. But I assume that’s the f stop they are trying to emulate at 52-56mm
I love the iPhone camera but its not even in the same league. Blow them up 100% and the differences are night and day, especially with L glass on the 6D. Not to mention you need near perfect lighting conditions with an iPhone and a 6D will destroy it in lower light. Yes, portrait mode is cool but not even close to a full frame DSLR in quality.
I always say "a Phone will never be as good a real Camera", but this held up pretty good. However smart phones are on 19 years old and camera on phones are only 15 years old. While on the other side camera's are more than 200 years old and Dslr's are 42 years old. So my new saying is camera Phones might only be as good as Camera's in 27 years.
No. They will caught up fairly sooner than that. It's just how much budget for R&D company has. Quality wise, pretty soon they will be very hard. DSLR have other advantages, like multiple storage options (storing to 2 memory cards at the same time, RAW images for events and weddings, controlling remote flashes, etc..), but for photos outside a studio which do not require a special lenses, sooner rather than later the differences in image quality will be unidentificable.
yeah it crushed the blacks. It wouldn't really be editable the way it was. But I like how it looks. I usually had to pull back the exposure. I wonder why apple doesn't meter for the face when it obviously has face detection?
I saw your camera have no lens hood on it how well does iPhone shoot subject in direct sun light in background can’t put lens hood on cellphone I will stick my dslr one thing cellphones will never have is rotating lcd screen cellphones are only good for selfies and close ups what is maximum zoom of phone without picture and quality being pixelated
