iPhone 12 Pro 12 Pro OIS 5 times faster than 11 Pro

Ive not seen this mentioned anywhere. Does the 12 Pro Max wide camera sensor shift really matter when the 12 Pro wide camera OIS is 5 times faster than last year?

I’m sure there is some improvement for the pro Max, otherwise they wouldn’t do it, but how much exactly in real world usage wouldn’t be known until it’s tested. My guess is it would only be noticeable for low light situations, which is what Apple toted the benefits are for the pro Max. Day to day usage in well-lit conditions, I doubt there will be any noticeable difference between pro and pro Max.

Depends on how shakey the camera is. Hand held while standing still? Probably won't be noticeable. Riding in a vehicle? Yeah probably

I don't think it will be significantly noticable in day to day use.

👍 I’ve preordered the pro, really hope there’s some reviews comparing the cameras soon. I’m coming from an 8 plus so either will be an improvement..

I think it does matter. The sensor shift is a type of stabilization that happens before the image is taken, hence opening the possibility of using a longer shutter speed = letting in more light = better low light performance.

The optical stabilization happens happens later in the process of taking a picture as far as I know, having little effect on the exposure in it self but combining several shots to even out the discrepancy between them in regards to positioning of elements in the picture.

Im not entireley sure this is a good explaination but it is how I understand it. And yes, the more types of stabilization the better. The pro Max will be better for photos - but also bigger.

I think this is correct. In low light the difference will be substantial. In adequate light not so much, if at all.
