iPhone 13 Pro How good is the camera??

[vhl71]

Picking up my 13pro today. Want to know from others who have for their phone already about the camera. How good is it? Last year i ended up returning my 12 pro and kept pixel 5 as I liked the photos from pixel better.

Hope they've closed the gap this year. I really want to come back to iOS. Pixel 6 is still an option.

Any comments on 13 pro camera?

I'm more than happy with it but then I'm in the camp that thinks there is very little difference between the top smartphones.

I jumped from a X to the 13 Pro, and I find the camera can blow out the highlights a little bit...at least that's the best way to describe it. It's amazing in soft, gentle, or low light. If there are pieces of direct light and/or reflection, you get what I think is a strange effect. Maybe my eyes are just not used to it, coming from the X. See attached, particularly in the middle, more mid-tone leaves. I've had to dial down the highlights in many of my pictures. I'd be interested in anyone's opinion (even if it's that my eyes are off...🤪)

I think I’ve you use the rich contrast profile you’ll get a lot closer to the pixel photos. I’d also recommend using ProRaw on stuff that’s important and editing it a little.

But for a phone camera, I don’t think any of the flagship phones take a bad photo these days.

I wouldn’t change just for the camera if you’re happy with the pixel, maybe see what the new pixel offers.
