iPhone 11 Pictures Taken by iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro

[zakarhino]

Seems like this camera really is hit or miss. In terms of the overall performance of these cameras, it's certainly a step up from the XS. I really do think the 11 Pro is the best camera phone you can buy as of right now.

1) 16MP would have been great, the images look great on the phone screen but not when you blow them up on the big screen, that's when you're reminded (rather bluntly) that you're looking at a photo from a phone.
2) The images are super grainy and blurry in a lot of casual shots when the lighting is not perfect, especially with that ultrawide. Speaking of which, the corners of ultrawide shots are considerably muddy in poor light, it's a bit distracting.
3) The majority of night mode shots I've seen so far have been very grainy and washed out with too much artificial processing layered on top.
4) HDR looks great sometimes but I've seen shots where the effect is way too aggressive to the point where the image looks a tad artificial.
5) Backlit photos are very good, a major improvement from the XS in my opinion

I'm getting excited for when the next photography technology revolution will take place. For the past few years we've seen incremental improvements over existing hardware paradigms with a large portion of improvements taking place via software. I'm looking forward to the day some groundbreaking new sensor tech is unveiled that is completely unlike anything we've ever seen before -- like going from film to digital, etc.

iPhone 11 Pro with ultra wide lens
A very difficult shot, point and shoot with no adjustment to the exposure. Obviously a looooooot of lens flare and overexposure of the sky on the right, but I like the overall effect obtained

If that tree/place represent a memory for you, then I agree. But if not, delete it, it's a total disaster...

A quick test shot in the neighborhood last night. I didn't us e a tripod or any other support. I was surprised that the clouds came out as prominent as they did.

It doesn’t represent anything to me lol
I understand what you mean, technically it’s a disaster showing pretty much all the downs of the wide lens. But somehow I like it, I find it a bit dreamy and hypnotic for some reason...
So I’ll just keep it 🤭

Pretty impressed so far. Looking forward to really testing night mode out.

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.

Here is a pic with an iPhone 7. Lol @ people thinking old phones can’t take quality pics.

It’s a greenhouse. The backlight is the moon. Love it.

Went to get some end of season color today and found butterflies.

Don’t think anyone is saying that. You can take good pictures with any camera. The photographer is what makes the difference. However new technology can make it easier and open up new areas that weren’t really possible in the past.

Night shot. Couldn’t get another one like this without my finger. Sorry about it, but I really like it.

Now that cell phone cameras are good enough to capture the stars, people will need to consider this for privacy reasons. Even if GPS data is stripped from EXIF, the time of the photo and stars could give away location if someone wanted to put in enough time to figure it out. Although they might also need cardinal direction? Can’t remember, but it’s probably only a matter of time before machine learning could crack this in an instant and give a location within a few miles, lol. Just something interesting to ponder that your photo made me think about.

This looks like a photo someone would give James Bond of a foreign target that is carrying a data drive full of important plot devices.

Wow that is exactly how I would expect a place like that to look at night. It captures the feeling well too. The ambiance. I can imagine myself there. Nice.

I just got back from a family dinner at a very dimly lit restaurant. I’m really pleased with the photos and videos I got. But there was what I’d call painful lag to see the photos show up in the little gallery thumbnail because of all the processing that had to take place.

if people were moving their hands around, which they were because it was loud in there and there was a lot of gesturing, the hands were blurred. But by and large I got most of the shots I set out to get. I’d like to see it all get a lot faster, though. But I’m not sure that’s possible in such low light.

I’d forgotten to turn motion photos off until very late in the dinner so that probably contributed to the slowdown.

I can’t post the photos because of my family’s privacy, but here’s one of a storefront

lmao is that a good or bad thing? Lol

Might not be the best comparison, but took a quick pic of the nearby park w/ and w/o night mode with 11 pro max.

Here’s a portrait picture of our cat Jasmine:



I’m very impressed with the speed of the 11 Pro Max vs my X, and the ability to take portraits close up (this shot was about 18in from her) is also a very welcome addition. Having to back way-up with the earlier phones was always a pain in my experience.

Took an early morning walk and tested the ultra wide angle lens...
