Camera vs. iPhone picture
Sep 13, 2022 15:56:21 #
My dad came back from an Alaskan cruise recently and he only took his iPhone 13 and the pictures that needed a zoom lens like wildlife and the glaciers were very disappointing. I was able to improve them a bit but not to where I would have liked.

Good question. Can’t recall. Probably left the settings on by mistake from the previous day. I do do that sometimes.
You went and did it now . . .
Bad, Bad Boy!!!
Now you have to go back and do the entire cruise again.
Since this will be a teaching experience, I also volunteer to go back to carry your iPhone for you.
As for me, I Love both pics. They both make me . . . .

PS: Remember, this is a tough crowd and you can't please everyone.
Also, we can keep going back until you get it right, grin.

Either of these are acceptable. The iPhone photo is edited to be more on the blue side , I’m guessing the white balance could easily fix that unless you prefer the blue tone and that’s okay too. Yes, cellphones do continue to impress. I’m not kidding myself about a cellphone replacing a DSLR though. I’m a wildlife photographer so a long 400 to 600 mm lens is pretty much mandatory. The bokeh I love is real with my Canon 6D MkII. I do however love the convenience of my iPhone. As long as I’m realistic about my expectations, I won’t be disappointed.

Try to photograph a distant moving object high in the sky on a bright day with your phone to see why the camera is still the best choice.

You downsized the Fuji picture and then compared it to the iPhone picture. This isn’t a valid comparison of the value of the Fuji versus the iPhone. You are not letting the Fuji take advantage of it’s technology. If you left the Fuji photo unchanged, you would/might see the advantage of the higher resolution. I say “might” because this photo’s subject doesn’t have enough of the type of elements and features that would stress the technical abilities of either camera.

The iPhone photo is sharper, with better contrast, IMHO.
That’s because he downsized the Fuji image file, but left the iPhone photo at its full resolution.

I was not trying to say that the phone has a better camera, but it was an apples and oranges comparison because of the po.

Colors in the Fuji photo look more natural to me. Colors in the iPhone photo appear overly warm and overcooked. The iPhone photo may be more pleasing to the eye at first until you realize that it is not the way it looked in real life. Overprocessing is very noticeable in the iPhone photo.

You know Paul, at times you do have a way of deflating people. However, on balance I have enjoyed and learned from many of your posts, and I do appreciate that.
It's ego and arrogance. There are many ways to say things he chooses a demeaning path.

The Fuji could look a whole lot better. Why did you shoot this landscape at f/4 and 1/1600 sec? The phone has more details where the camera should / could have blown the phone out of the discussion with a better selection of exposure parameters.

I see an obvious and substantial difference in the rendition of fine detail. Did you process the Fuji JPEG or the Fuji RAF file?
Can you enlighten me ?

The iPhone is sharper and more detail, the camera is dead in my opinion,why lug all your gear when you could use an iPhone, you always have an explanation on why a camera is better the average person would pic no. 2 .The phones are getting more and more advanced,cameras are getting more and more expensive and lenses are also, you put a phone in your pocket and go, just my opinion. Don't blame the photographer!!!!

I agree, I am going to probably sell all my gear and invest in an iPhone, better pics with less Gera and little effert.
