I will pick Cotf since it will likely come in more handy than the small differences Deep Fusion produces. I might change in the future.
 
Even without Deep Fusion I never had Capture Outside of frame on. I want to see what I am capturing and I want only that. Don't want nothing outside which I purposely didn't want to capture to appear. Doesn't make sense to me but to each his own. Now, Deep Fusion is just the icing on the cake so that's another benefit.

Nice thing about CotF is that it creates a 24 megapixel photo when you zoom out and save the new photo.

I will most likely go for Deep Fusion(CotF disabled) for indoor shots and CotF enabled for outdoor shots.

Deep Fusion is really for those indoor shots as I'm hearing.

I think the point of COtF is to allow you to fix various framing glitches after the fact. Not only inadvertently cutting off half of someone's head, but those shots where it turns out the horizon was a little tilted but you can't straighten it out without losing something at one side or the other than you really would prefer to keep in the pic. I've had both happen (probably all of us have?), so COtF is potentially appealing, but DF seems like the better half of the choice for most cases.

COTF came in very handy on my recent vacation so that’s a must for me, I would have loved to have deep fusion for when I’m indoors and not have to decide between ONE of these 2 great features but at the current time I guess deep fusion is going to be disabled on my 11 Pro as I don’t want to give up COTF

I wonder if there's an Accessibility shortcut, or maybe an actual Shortcut, that could be set up to toggle this on and off.

yea this will be useful, similar to how the video toggles will now be in-app..

That extra photo data (if used) gives you a 24mp photo, twice the resolution. It’s great for landscape and city scapes. The extra resolution is nice.
 
I disabled COTF to see the results of Deep Fusion shots. I’m definitely seeing the increased detail.
 
Did they change CotF for 1x? I thought it used to show the outside the frame behind the buttons at 1x for what I'm guessing was the .5x lens. Now it only does it at 2x (on an 11 Pro w/ 13.2)

That would be so handy. I have Deep Fusion set for now but I love capture outside frame. Have definitely used it a lot to reframe photos. Sucks that we can't have both enabled.

It doesn’t work if it is too dark out since the ultra wide lens captures much less light than the wide lens.

Interesting, just looked at it again, it's not working for CotF for both 1x and 2x. I guess it was too dark inside the office? Thanks for the reply!

Regarding your post, how do I know if DeepFusion was activated / used on a photo?
