It must be something with this website... the images I posted are not blurry and compressed on my computer.
More from the park visit yesterday. I'm not so sure about the 'Smart HDR' treatments. Sometimes it's a good thing, other times, not so much.

Just over a month with the iPhone 11 and it continues to amaze me. Here are a few after today's bicycle ride :
I've long wanted a wide-angle lens (for many £££) for my 10-year-old 12MP DSLR, so when Apple announced all the camera improvements for the iPhone 11 Pro inc. the new 13mm-equivalent lens I started to seriously consider whether it'd finally be time to upgrade from my SE and replace my DSLR together in one go. I needed to see some proper full-res sample photos though and I thought ‘ah I bet the MacRumors community will be able to help here’ – so please allow me as a lurker to thank everyone for posting their sample pics, they've been very useful!
Alas, seeing them does make me realise that the iPhone still has a long way to go to match the quality of even a very old digital camera. The high shadow noise (and resultant noise reduction) in particular is really bugging me.Ogoodness' sample shot here is just the kind of photo I might take with my camera when playing tourist, and viewed shrunk to the size of a computer screen it looks great – but go in 1:1 and the shadows are so blotchy that I wouldn't be able to live with that, especially as someone who prints photos when possible. Alas there's no EXIF info for that photo, but other photos in this thread show very low sensitivities (20–30!) with similar levels of noise so I can't even blame it on being a high-ISO shot.
I will await the Deep Fusion update with interest, and I look forward to seeing some samples after that's live! But it is looking like my dream of owning a smartphone that takes print-worthy photos is still some way off. It's interesting to consider actually how slowly camera tech has developed when you think about it: an iPhone 11 Pro can beat a good computer from 10 years ago in every meaningful way (e.g. look at the specs for a late-2009 MacBook) in a vastly smaller package, but it can't do the same for an equivalent-aged good camera.
While it is of course right to say that a good dslr camera with a decent lense takes much better looking images on the pixel level, it’s not true at all that you can’t get print worthy photos from an iPhone. I know, I have them on my walls. As well as pictures taken with full frame cameras. Or my trusty Ricoh grd I from 2006 with a tiny grany sensor. They are all good enough.
Tapatalk scaling. Doesn’t do it’s justice
I think P. G. got into the cooking sherry, lol
You're right, and to be fair I didn't say an iPhone can never take a print-worthy photo.
There are some iPhone photos I've seen shot in good lighting where the HDR features balanced the shot perfectly that really do show an exceptional level of detail. I suppose what I'm really saying is that the set of circumstances in which an iPhone can produce an excellent printable photograph is still significantly narrower than that which a decent digital camera is restricted to. Sensor size limitations obviously play a huge part in that… I look forward to the day that smartphone camera tech manages to overcome such problems.
They look amazing, great colors, did you edit these? Do you use high efficiency or most compatible option?
I used the native camera app and edited these from Photos on my phone. I use high efficiency.
Really I find the effort to result to have such a great ratio which is why this little camera amazes me almost every time
Just installed 13.2. Two images of my pup with deep fusion... Notice the second one on the upper left has a blurry spot on the top of his ear. Was not using portrait mode. Still impressed and know this is me being picky.
Just took this at the restaurant I’m at!
