New iphone 15 pro… The next best camera?
« on: December 31, 2023, 07:51:49 PM »
Just wondering if the iphone 15 pro with a 48mp camera is amazing? We use a smartphone currently for trips and general pictures, is this like an incredible camera or its not that much different form any other iphone camera? Currently using 12pro

Pixel 8 Pro has the best smartphone camera.
S23U is also better than iPhone.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I'm on my third pixel (OG, 3a, and now 6). I've always gotten amazing compliments on the pictures I take with my pixel phones. I feel like it's more the software than the camera itself, but whatever it is, I love the pictures it takes!

I have often thought about switching to iPhone only because the rest of my family is on it, but the camera and software keeps me with pixel, even though I often get overheating and battery drain issues.

Hot take. I'd disagree.

Do not mess with Dan's Android/iOS opinion.

In regards to that my opinion may be even stronger than Dan (I use iPhones often). That's not the question here.

Perhaps with an apple computer

I haven't personally the question between android and iPhone should come before the picture quality between them

Yes but like I said we only use a smartphone for pictures and travel, so that discussion is a separate conversation for those that are debating a phone they use all the time.

Gotcha.
What type of shots are looking for?

Picture quality is great on all above mentioned phones, it usually comes down to personal taste. Do you care for night shots? Zoomed shots? Portrait mode?
A lot people say you'd get a better average photo with an iPhone but you can get better specific photos with others.
I don't think many argue that iPhone has better video though.

We’ve done mountains, city, Alaska, boats, all the different types of scenery. We need a good all around camera that can be reliable for capturing feeding monkeys in panama, getting good shots of buildings on a horse ride in Vienna, and being able to get good video and pics of a mountain when flying by in a plane. And of course, taking good pictures at night would be needed as well but I feel that is already a whole different aspect of a camera

I'm getting go pro vibes. If you need a really good zoom iPhone isn't it otherwise probably iPhone

right we bought a go pro before alaska and it was amazing, but a phone is much better for point and shoot i feel like. For videos the go pro is amazing, but also a go pro is another item to bring that we dont *always* want to have on us

my question is really moreso like this: is the iphone 15 pro camera levels up from the past models cameras, because it really claims to be from Apple

Probably a level up but I doubt as significant as they make it. I think the main thing people like is the default resolution of the pictures is double the megapixels (24) vs most phones bin down to 12. I have no first hand experience BH

Many phones today have the "best" camera. It really comes down to personal preference.
You can use the link below to help narrow it down.
Enjoy! :D
