camera setup and the other one is an
iPhone 11 pro can you guess which one is which can you see the differences are you pixel peeping really really hard right now your answers locked you know which ones which okay camera a is a 1 DX 2 with a 16 to 35 mil this is a $7,500 setup and camera B was my iPhone 11 Pro and now if you were having a very hard time pixel peeping and trying to figure out which is which and maybe maybe you guessed wrong and you're wondering how the heck can that be well the answer is computational photography maybe you're wondering what the heck is that well it's basically just a bunch of digital image capture and processing techniques that basically enhance your photos and honestly I never ever thought that smart phones your camera phones would be good enough to ever even come close to competing with something like a
1 DX mark - but the one mistake that I
made and thinking about the future is not taking into account software the computational photography side of things that's just one part that my brain couldn't conceive of ok so let's play the game a couple more times here's another 2 photos I will give you guys a little bit of a chance to guess all right camera a is the iPhone camera B 1 DX mark - did you get it right let's do a couple more for fun here's another 2 photos for you take your guests this time camera a is the iPhone and camera B is the 1 DX - maybe you got that one wrong okay here's another two photos man these are like so hard I don't feel bad at all if you're getting these wrong it is not you it's just that they're that close in image camera a isthe one DX - camera B is the iPhone and
then let's do one final one just to maybe stump some more of you guys take guess which one is which I feel like some of you are having to pixel peep just a little bit too hard camera a is the iPhone camera B is the one DX mark - well how did you do out of five how many did you get right I'm genuinely curious please comment down below how many did you get right out of the five because I feel like if I showed this to a lot of people it would be like a 50/50 which people would guess and I asked on Twitter the same question of with that first example and most people were able to guess that that camera B was the iPhone but there were still a lot of people that were getting fooled with one after another and to be honestif I posted that iPhone picture and said
that it was a 1 DX mark to picture I think most people wouldn't argue with that at all they'd be like oh yeah that makes sense yeah that looks high-quality that looks like a 1 DX which is scary it's scary how close they are and to get the 1 DX even more of a leg-up those photos were in raw and the iPhone those were just JPEGs through software now even with a tiny little sensor like the one inside of an iPhone 11 Pro you can compete with something like a 1 DX tube that has a massive sensor like this sensor hold on guyshttps://www.highcpmrevenuenetwork.com/q0bxb1dp?key=3465c760276ff7bfe74fdd6b5fcc5d1a
this sensor in here it's it's huge it's
way bigger it's like it's bigger than this whole hole 3 camera plate right here it's bigger than that so all three of the iPhones sensors for the cameras fit inside 1:1 DX sensor that's how big of a difference there is between the sensors which is it's crazy now with that software we can get similar looking depth of field or even more we can get dynamic range even more than on the 1d x 2 and the overall colors and image is starting to look really really high quality for a smartphone even in low-light at ISO 1250 for the 1 DX the iPhone was keeping upjust fine it doesn't look quite as good
in my opinion but again there's more dynamic range and I don't even think that the HDR kicking in fully here so yeah even in low light the smartphones are getting a lot better again because of computational photography I will say that the iPhone pictures definitely took a little bit more tweaking to kind of get them to the same level as the 1d x2 when I was editing them and I think the 1d X 2 has a nicer quality tone to the details it just has this like smoother vibe to it but still the detail is there whereas the iPhone is kind of over sharpening things at times but honestly I'm blown away that the results are this close when I when I thought of this idea I didn't think that they would be this close I knew that the cameras are pretty good and the iPhone but not that good and yes the software is still limited it doesn't always work perfectly you kind of have to be at a perfect distance fromyour subject you can't be too far away
and sometimes it just screws up the depth map beam for example in these photos of Matt the glasses they had a really hard time and a lot of times it would blur the side of the glasses instead of keeping those sharp like they should be but even that can be fixed in post and you can also make your photos even better with something like an app called focus because the iPhone saves all the metadata inside of that photo you can actually use an app like focus and you can refocus your image you can change the focus to the background or the foreground if you made a mistake you can refocus it literally anywhere you want you can change the look of the bokeh so if you want it to be more like an anamorphic oval look or if you want to add a shape to the bouquet you can do whatever you want you can even change the the look of the lens so you can emulate different types of lenses usingthis app which is just crazy and more
importantly you can fix those little errors in the depth mapping like for example Matt's glasses and you can choose what parts should be in focus and what shouldn't be are you freaking out yet cuz this is this is like mind-blowing stuff the fact that we could do so much with a $2,000 yes that's so expensive but a $2,000 smartphone that does so much more than just take photos and videos it also takes really nice photos and really nice video I'm speechless what the heck how is that even possibleI feel like there's like these magician
engineers that are just like working in the background just creating this magic and and just like not even making a big fuss about it but then of course for things like the super wide angle on the iPhone we can't use portrait mode so we can't get that nice shallow depth of field and all of those extra things so this is where I think something like a 1dx really starts to shine you get that nice depth but again you get a little bit more dynamic range on the iPhone so it's like it's it's getting pretty wild I don't think we're quite at the point where a pros should get rid of theirDSLRs or mirrorless cameras and just
shoot on an iPhone but I do think for a lot of kind of hobbyists or amateurs the iPhone is way more than you'll ever need in your lifetime right now and it's just getting better with every software update with with every new iPhone and every new smartphone it's just getting better and better and better DSLRs and mirrorless cameras they're big they're heavy they're expensive this lens alone is $2,000 this camera body is $5,500 it's really really expensiveit only takes photos and videos it
doesn't do social media or anything like that and it's hard to use an iPhone is so much easier to get that shallow depth of field whereas with an with a real camera like this you kind of have to know the settings and figure out how to get that nice shallow depth of field it's not hard but still take some figuring out and for just like a person using a camera for the first time it might not be completely obvious whereas with the iPhone you're like oh portrait mode boom oh yeah got it but of course DSLRs mirrorless cameras also have really big benefits for example being able to change the lens that's probably the biggest thing or one of the biggest things you have way more control over the settings you're not gonna have any any hiccups with the shallow depth of field or anything it always works you're not gonna have any errors with the software and of course that bigger sensor size really does give more pleasing details and just highlight Roelofs it just looks a little bit more natural and organic in my opinion so there are big advantages to having something like a DSLR or a mirrorless camera still but for something like posting on social media using all of those computational photography techniques software that's that's happening in an iphone I really do think you can get away with just posting an iPhone photo nowadays in portrait mode and nobody will bat an eye at it nobody will be like oh that's justI phone that doesn't look as good you
could literally go back to being iPhone only on Instagram right now and I don't think anybody would really notice anyways I just wanted to make this video a to show how crazy it is that we have this super powerful photography and videography machine camera in our pockets right now and be you really have no excuses there are no excuses nowadays because even your iPhone takes incredible pictures incredible photos incredible video all it takes for you is to get out there use your camera use your phone figure out the techniques figure out lighting composition all of those things and work hard at it anybody right now could become a photographer or videographer which is amazing but it also means for people like you maybe or people like me who do this as a profession it means we can't get complacent because there's a lot of up-and-coming people because everybody has one of these there's a lot of people getting into videography and photography and you got to kind of raise the bar you got to raise your level of skill and just keep learning you cannot get complacent right now and I'm also really really curious to see when is computational photography really gonna start coming into these mirrorless andDSLR cameras because I think they have
to start using it in order to step up their cameras because Apple Samsung all of these companies are putting so much effort into researching better ways to make their camera's better and I think the cannons the nikons the Panasonic Sony's they're all just mostly focusing on the hardware side of things and not as much on the software so I'm really curious to see when is computational photography really gonna start kicking into DSLRs and whether or not we're gonna have smart mirrorless cameras soon oh you'll take a photo and it'll just like redo yourwhole image the way you want it I am
pretty sure that's gonna happen in the future anyways I hope you guys like this Article I would love to know your thoughts so comment down below give this article a like and follow to the website if you haven't already I will see you guys later.
