So you're saying you don't like this guy? lol
Video: at around 0:58-1:05 If you pause the video you can clearly see the edge of the blurring effect is sharp enough to impose on the subject in the foreground, and make it obvious the camera is processing the image incorrectly! It looks like it's using both lens', and if it is they're supposed to gel seamlessly.
The software is obviously in Beta and needs some radical tweaking ...that said; the colours are fantastic and very true to life, which is why I chose Apple and can't be entertaining Samsung's camera's.
Clearly you have never used a decent camera?
Ehh? If your eye lens is that bad, they wouldn't be good enough to distinguish the difference the X's lens makes as you'd still see poor images.
Maybe the X is enhancing the real world for a more pleasing user experience?

Great image ...but that's a big club for what looks like a 130 yard par 3 ain't it?

Coming from a 6, I am definitely happy with the camera improvements... I just wish they would increase the megapixels... I still need to use my expensive SLR for some photos because I like printing out large photos. Generally, the iPhone is great, but it still seems to lack in lower light settings. I know, it's a phone first and other things second... but, in reality, it's now a phone second and other things first.
Just don't pretend it's better than it actually is. If you want quality, then a 40 or 50 megapixel full frame is far better.
Is that what you use for a camera?
And who is pretending it's better than it is, or is better than what you referenced above?
Or maybe decent cameras don't have 6 core cpu powered AI that does processing on the fly with machine learning to best render a scene? I have a few high end cameras but this is a new ball game we're seeing.
What else would you prefer for them to improve one. For me the camera is he only reason I upgrade every year. The phones are already fast enough, battery is good enough, and screen is good enough. It's also the only reason I put up with the camera bump.
Camera snobs... Audiophiles... Both people are just a headache.
All the extra new camera features help create some great results, but primarily I just care about the advancements in optical zoom and low light capture. I’m glad to see the improvements in low light here and I hope Apple doesn’t slow down. There is much room for improvement and there will be for a long time.
For my purposes (mostly reference, not sharing), capturing decent images in as many situations as possible is the priority. Creating beautiful-looking images is a distant second. But I know I’m probably an exception in that regard.

It is quite amazing looking at photos from the annual backup to see how these cameras have progressed since 2G.
As you know, but for the benefit of others, the only way to fix the blown out sky is to expose for the sky and light the subject with a flash. A real, powerful flash that can compete with bright sunlight. Not a cheap little "true tone(TM)" LED. But that is beyond the capability of the iPhone.
As for the soft leaves and sticks, that's what you get when you use half a gram of glass for your lens worth about half a cent. The problem is, all these "expert" users raving about the iPhone camera wouldn't know a sharp, well-focused, properly exposed picture if they actually saw one. Their lives revolve around facebook/instagram, that's all they know, which is fine, but then they insist they're horrendous quality is all anyone needs.
DSLR quality Phil Schiller's ass.
This article is horribly misleading. It implies the iPhone X has a "better" camera than the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. From all the searching different reviews, the only difference between the 8 Plus and the X is, the X has dual OIS whereas the 8 Plus has OIS on only the wide lens...other wise it's the same camera, same lenses and same sensor.
If the X had a different or better camera, Apple would have had made that fact a much larger presence in their respective ad campaigns and at the iPhone event.

I am only quoting maikerukun post because he has a picture up (which is a nice pic by the way) my post is geared to the technical quality or shortcomings of the I phone camera...
Am I missing something here? I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I'm not that impressed with the camera. Now I am not saying you can't get good pictures. But for some reason when I got the 7+ i was very disappointed how many of my pictures turned out. I actually thought there was something wrong with my phone when I first got it. I suspect it is the processing done to the images in the iPhone.
I think the way iPhone processes some images, I do not care for. Many pictures including the golf picture above look very smudgy and look more like a painting than a photo when looked at proper size. I have noticed the same thing when I moved from a 6+ to 7+ and since the 7+ the processing looks very similar, with the OVERLY digitized and painting looking "smudgyness". I was hoping it would get better with this iteration of the phone but it has not.
Now granted, I think the 7+ and beyond are better than the 8MP cameras in the previous phones, but some pictures really come out looking terribly over processed. Most of the pictures in my 6+ had a more natural photo look to them. I have been carefully watching camera comparisons and I notice the Galaxy and Pixel do not look as bad. I know the iPhone cameras are considered to be good, but I can't help but thinking that they hype train is a little much. The camera is bit better but I still see the same processing problems in the photos as the 7+.
You may disagree, but I take lots of pictures with different cameras and many (not all) iphone pics are very noticeable to me and jump out like a sore thumb.
Pretty sure the telephoto lens also has a wider aperture.
I’m liking it so far, but of course a camera you can fit in your pocket isn’t going to be as good as a dedicated high end camera. I can of course achieve better things on my standalone camera, but for day to day, this is pretty great.

Haha, actually, it's about a 220 yd par 4, but tomato tomato lol.
All cameras have limitations. Photographers learn to work with them. For example, my dSLR and mirrorless cams do not fit in my pocket. Thus, my iPhone gets a lot of use. Many of my best images were captured with my phone, rather than my "real" cameras. And vice-versa. It makes little difference what I use for a camera.
In the end, compelling photographs do not come from the gear one uses. Rather, it's the photographer's eye, life experiences, curiosity, imagination, ability to read light, ability to compose, ability to selectively reveal and hide information, ability to edit and post-process, and more drives what makes a strong image that stirs a viewer's imagination.
Sadly. on most of the photography forums the discussion is about having "the best" gear. And rarely about making photographs. I find people that are caught in that trap generally produce ho-hum photographs. Differences between cameras, outside of some edge cases (shooting professional sports, BIF, etc), are generally mice nuts.
The iPhone X appears to have an outstanding camera. If you can't make strong and compelling photographs with it, look within, the issue is not with the camera.

Thanks
I'm finding this camera is grabbing images that are really gorgeous in nature settings, as well as indoor settings. Just back from dinner and wanted to test the shallow depth of field in low light capabilities. These are some of those images...Thanks

is that your girlfriend/wife?
If so, you are one lucky man! (she's got beautiful eyes!)
Nope. I haven't. In fact, this is my first camera in the history of my life. I didn't even know what they were until I got this phone. I'm gonna come clean and admit I didn't even know what a phone was until I got this phone. And quite frankly, still figuring out this whole "internet" thing...and more to the point, I'm not even sure if I'm commenting to a person right now?
