The new iPhone 15 is here, and it brings with it some major camera upgrades that should be quite exciting for photographers and filmmakers alike. How do all these improvements and new features perform in practice? This fantastic video takes a look at how the phone performs for photography work.
Coming to you from Ted Forbes of The Art of Photography, this excellent video takes a look at the new iPhone 15 for photography work. There are certainly some other banner upgrades and new features, such as the new USB-C connection and increased processing power, but arguably, the camera features got some of the most ntable upgrades, including:
- ProRes video recording to external drives
- Log video options
- 77mm and 120mm lens options on Pro models
- Integrated Portrait mode in standard mode
- 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm prime options on Pro model's 48-megapixel camera
- More advanced computational photography features thanks to new A17 chip
The iPhone has proven itself to be a legitimate creative tool for professionals in its last few iterations, and you can find it in the hands of a lot of photographers and filmmakers, and it looks like the new models offer some major steps forward that should further ingrain them in workflows. Check out the video above for Forbes' full thoughts.
The best review so far. Have you been able to compare the 48MP HEIF wit RAW? Before RAW gave more dynamic range & less HDR artifacts. What's your take on the 15 Pro Version?
First off, I'm not a pro photographer but it has been my hobby most of my adult life (decades). Ted Forbes video, while very good, does not cover some of the concerns other "pro" photographers have. Check Tony Northrup's iPhone 15 camera review and it is very revealing to the phone's camera limitations and spin by Apple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzf2B72juCE&t=5s
When watching a review for a new piece of gear, it is important to see the negative ones as much as the glowing reviews. To be fair, the camera on a smartphone, no matter how good it is, is not the primary feature I need for the unit which is communication and information. The phone is useful for snapshots mostly for convenience. I also use it sometimes to to check/preview a potential composition for my primary mirrorless camera. If Apple, Samsung, Google, or whoever decided to make a fully dedicated camera system to compete with Nikon, Sony, Canon, etc., it would perk my interest more than this.
I was planing to go from android to iPhone because loads of great apps are not developed for android... But iPhone is way behind huawei, Xiaomi and other high end phones for same or less money... No fast charging, small battery.. I hope that iPhone 16 will be more than just updated 14...
