I posted earlier asking about comparing the 11-Pro camera vs the iPhone 12 non-Pro camera. The understanding I got is that the 12-non-Pro (and 12-Pro) camera are better than the 11-Pro camera, not considering the telephoto lens.
I'm debating whether to upgrade to the 12-Pro or 12-mini, coming from an 11-Pro non-Max. I'd want the 12-Pro to have the best camera possible (for the phone size I want), but I also want the phone-size of the mini, so I want to understand what camera-quality/features I'd be giving up with the mini.
My use cases:
1) I rarely/never-used the telephoto lens on my 11-Pro
2) Most my pictures are of friends/family, that I then post to Google-Photos using their high (non-original) quality to share
3) I don't post-edit pictures, outside of cropping and live-photo editing (in case someone blinked)
My understanding of what I'd lose by going with 12-mini instead of 12-pro:
1) No 2x or greater zoom / telephoto lens
2) Night mode portraits
3) apple-RAW... I don't believe I'd use this since I'm not into post-editing
4) Video editing at higher fps, which I don't care for
5) other non-camera features aren't in scope for this consideration, such as better battery or stainless steel build
So other than the above... My understanding is that the 12-mini's pictures using the wide lens would be just as good as the 12-Pro's pictures. Does that sound correct? Welcome any other related feedback!
