Should the edges of the horse be blurry based on depth of field?

Portrait mode with stage lighting. Taken after Sunset on cloudy day.

Thanks. This is on a 12 or Pro?

Standard 12

Took some more photos today, with more emphasis on Ultra Wide shots this time after failing to get some decent ones yesterday. Really love playing with the camera! I do hope Apple increases the aperture of the Ultra Wide with the next iPhone, because the amount of noise in each photo is just appalling. Anyway, below my pictures, all completely untouched this time.

A few more shots today.

Beautiful horse! And great colours and dynamic range. Those soft/blurry edges around her head and the arbitrary blurring of the reins give me pause for thought, though. As someone who is considering splashing out for one of the Pros for their photo specs, this is the kind of photo that makes me realize none of these phones is ready to replace my dedicated camera just yet.

Those algorithms do a helluva job with a cloudy day, I must say.

Here is a question for the photogs out there, without editing, straight out of the camera, on auto, what camera would I have to purchase to get a shot equal to or better than this? Fine, not fully auto, maybe I can mess with the ISO, I suppose that won't be too hard to do. But you get my point...with very minimal input from my end.

That‘s a loaded question. I’m not up to speed with the latest/greatest mirrorless cameras, but none of them have the computational photo tricks up their sleeve that these iPhones have, so you would seldom wind up with that level of dynamic range right outta the box. That being said, just about any mid-range+ camera would shoot a compelling version of that night scene—it would just look more like traditional ”night” and not have, for instance, an artificially lightened sky.

Sorry if that doesn’t answer your specific question.

For the record, it’s these computational tricks that make the new iPhones appealing to me. My regular camera definitely can’t expose a scene quite like that—though it’s miles better in most other departments (optics, ergonomics, etc.)

Loving the effects on portrait shots! (iPhone 12)

Thanks! I’m not sure why the effect is so pronounced in this one picture. I have a few others taken the same way that are much better around the edges. Again this was low light in portrait mode.

I’m enjoying my new camera, but I’m disappointed with the levels of lens flare with bright lights at night:View attachment 977111

This was an issue with the 11 Pro as well. I think it has to do with the lens material or coating because I never had this problem with my X, just the 11 Pro and now the 12 Pro.

iPhone 12 vs Pixel 4A night mode

This is picture taken by iPhone 12.

Pixel 4A

I am sorry, but picture produced by iPhone 12 is way to warm compare with picture produced by Pixel 4A.

iPhone 12 has much worse lens flare.

This is disappointing. I hope the Max will be better. Personally, day shots all look great to me. I feel like you kind of need to get out a magnifying glass to start saying which is better and whatever. But at night, that to me is the battleground.

I just noticed a couple of differences. In the 12 photo you are closer to the light and there isn’t a car with its lights on. Maybe because you were closer to the lamp with the 12 and the Pixel had the car lights to worry about too it didn’t blow up the lamp?

Well, iPhone 12 still have good censors compare with Pixel 4A. Pixel 4A is using 3 years old censors, therefore, it is weak compare with iPhone 12. However, you gonna have to be impressed with Google's algorithm, it turns a pixelated mess to a stunning photo.

If Apple could pull this off, the good camera censors plus awesome algorithm, iPhone will probably become the best phone for photo taking.

Again, I am super impressed by photo taken by Pixel 4A. It is comparable with photo taken by iPhone 12.

I need also say, phone with half decent censors can take good pictures at day time. It is not hard to get decent photos when light is abundant.

I have no interest with iPhone 12 Pro, it is simply to expensive and offers not much more than iPhone 12.

Can you make a portrait photo with wide lens on 12 pro ?

Can you make a portrait photo with wide lens on 12 pro ?

Yes, on wide, telephoto and front facing cameras with the Pro.

The lens flare is a pity.

But you can't really compare the colors, when on the Pixels picture the cars headlights are filling out the street with a different light.

So I’ll start off by saying I’m generally blown away by the iPhone 12s camera.
it’s taken pics that look spectacular to me. I have some concerns though about the Pro version I own.

One of the reasons I wanted the pro (which costs me $440aud more than the regular) was the telephoto and the LiDAR. I am fortunate enough to have borrowed my sisters iPhone 12 as the family tech nerd to see what the differences if any, are.
I sat on my balcony with both phones and just took photos of the other phone and my vape.
I tried taking photos in portrait mode and in normal mode (both x1 zoom) to see what happens.
So the pro with its LiDAR sensor really struggles blurring the background on portrait mode with that particular effect on.
My iPhone 12 pro would have everything in focus (when it shouldn’t) and it took up to 20 secs to get a decent blur effect on background which it couldn’t sustain and would then immediately kick back to not blurring anything. Really annoying for what is supposed to be the superior camera phone.
The regular iPhone 12 did the trick within 2 secs every time.
It even had more detail in some of the pics.
I will say - the best examples from each phone - the pro took one or two shots which were clearly better. For example you will see my jumper look a LOT more detailed with a blurred background and that’s the pro. But I was only able to get this shot once in like 15 tries.
The regular 12 wasn’t as great on that one shot from the pro, but it was better the rest of the way, which is disappointing to say the least. If the LiDAR is so accurate why is it so not accurate?!
Also when I tried to take a photo of the black regular 12 it struggled to blue the background at all.. apparently the LiDAR sensor doesn’t like shiny surfaces or something - not my problem (or is it? )

anyone have a look at the pics.
I will say I have taken some gorgeous HDR street photos, great shots at the zoo yesterday and amazing nighttime shots so I love it but I think the 12 hangs right in there- not seeing the pro advantage right now.


check out the pro is being shot with my right hand, regular the left.

check out the lion pic and the 4K video is fantastic.

Has anyone tried SLO-MO and end up with bad stuttering? I did two of them today and it was bad in both.

No stuttering that I noticed.

I just noticed though when I upload a slomo video it doesn’t come out in slo-mo? Whhhyyyyyy
