See examples of how Apple’s latest computational photography technique, Smart HDR, allows the iPhone to compete with the dynamic range in several of the top full frame cameras on the market today.
In his latest upload, Tyler Stalman proposed an answer to the question: could the latest generation of iPhones produce a level of dynamic range that really competes with that of the full frame sensor cameras on the market today? His key takeaway, backed by several examples, is simply that the latest iPhones are able to produce, in a lot of situations, more dynamic range than even the much larger full frame sensors can turn out. And this all comes down to the rapid advancements that are being made in computational photography versus sensor performance gains.
Dynamic range aside, it is still quite clear to me that mobile photography, albeit iOS or Android based, has a ways to go with overall image detail and usability in anything other than casual use. And really, in most arenas, it should not be taken seriously against a full frame camera. This is still especially evident when the images are viewed on anything other than the phone screen it was captured on. But with these rapid gains in computational photography and the overall prowess of these ridiculously powerful mobile processors that now easily handle the merging of a multitude of image exposures in real-time, it shows us all today a glimpse of the exciting future of photography, mobile or not, that awaits just over the Smart HDR horizon.
BTW, I'm not impressed by these types of infomercials.
lol, do you even own a full frame camera?? 1.you are comparing a raw image to a jpeg fully edited phone image 2. you can shoot a full +3 and -3 stop image and get a jpeg edited image in the 5dmk4. 3.you can shoot 7 stop hdr multi row panos with focus stacking over 500 images to make one photo, try that with your phone. 4. so how is your dynamic range on sports. and finally 5. show them in their true size on computer. there is no way you can blow up that unedited phone pic to the size you can a camera. without minipulating anything about the image, go plug into the machine at walmart and print 24x36. then lets see your dynamic range. im talking print at 300dpi not 15dpi. ..
what these posts don't tell you is that yes phone photos look great ON THE PHONE! but when you print them even on 4x6 they just print HORRIBLY regardless of what professional lab you use.. If you're going to show a thumbnail sure they look the same, but what you're showing is false.. Zoom in and crop and THEN do a compare -posts like this are why so many photographers don't make it
Why don't you zoom in and crop the girls face on both images.. that will show you how truely crap iPhone cameras are. this blog is a joke
Schizophrenia 2.0 Videos stating smartphone have the best camera, video stating no way smartphone are close to DSLR, video stating smartphone prints sucks, other stating they are fine, other videos stating that smartphone are a sort of new micro 3/4 and other that you should drop your camera and learn to work the land cause soon AI is going to take better photos than a human being. This rush on producing video everyday, only leads to producing garbage every day. The only useful information I'm getting now, is out of books. And same goes with some articles here. No need to put out content every day.
Always remember, to make the majestic altar inside Krakow Basilica took the sculptor 13 years.
What about the dif in rez between the 2? How far can you push the iPhone in print size? hmmm??? Looks good on a computer monitor or iPhone screen, but what about an enlargement? "... when the images are viewed on anything other than the phone screen it was captured on..." 'xactly...
