Funny thing is that iPhone was build as a phone not a camera while Sony FX30 was build as a camera. Seeing these two compete and with only minor difference is mind blowing. iPhone can do a lot of things such as Gaming, video calls, text message, voice record, taking notes, alarm clock and more! The best part is you can put it inside your pocket! Sony needs to step up their software for real! This is my opinion so I’m just telling what I feel about these kind of comparison. Great video!

It's genuinely hard to fathom the Voodoo Apple is doing to make the iphone 15 hang with a beast like the FX-30. I mean, it's a cinema camera against a phone...It shouldn't be "zoom in to 500% at night to see the difference" difference!

This comparison is incredible! Thank you so much. Best of luck with your channel!

[augustogalindo]

You covered a lot of situations and made a detailed review, great video!

[Hikingguy]

This was super helpful, I appreciate it!

[technotin]

It's obvious that you put a lot of work into this video, thank you

[ron_m]

Just please don't stop making videos. I hope your channel really grows, it's highly underrated

In resume, the Iphone 15 pro/pro max is a monster.

[kalel]

The point is not which one is better. The whole reason for this is to show just how good the iPhone with this small sensor really is and this is impressive that this phone can definitely be used for professional work. Hate it or like it Apple is doing an insane job on photography and video

Awaiting your review of the upcoming 1-inch DJI Pocket 3 Log vs iPhone 15 Pro Log :) Thanks!

I found your channel yesterday I think and i absolutely love all the content you make. very detailed and organized. keep it up.

Crazy comparison! Surprised how similar they are in good lighting, will definitely consider using it as a B cam once I can match the colors correctly

Thank you for the very informative video. I still have one question. As far as I know, both 1x and 2x modes of the main sensor use 12 MP, so that in both cases a native 4K video is created.

So the only difference should be that the pixels in 1x mode due to the binning of the sensor are significantly larger than when crop into the unbinned 48 MP in 2x mode. That resulting in better low-light behavior than in 2x mode.

Do I see this correctly and does this alone also explain the fact that despite the same resolution, the 2x mode image contains less detail?

Hope my english is understandable enough.

An important note on stabilization lag. It only occurs when you are using luts on the blackmagic camera app and cinematic or extreme stabilization levels. If you disable the luts there is no lag ;)

I am using a Samsung S23 Ultra, still this video was very cool for me. I already knew that smartphones are still not as good as a real camera but I think they are amazing good for an amateur like me. Also i think these Freewell lenses are a great thing for me

I heard DJi pocket 3 will be announced next week. With 1 inch sensor and dlog-m. Maybe a good alternative for iphone 1x camera.

Could you please do a comparasion to show quality differences between h265, applelog, and so on? Everyone who want to use this are intrested in this but no one on YouTube has done it get.

[ShortStoryInspiration]

can you do some extreme overheating tests with the iphone? would be cool to see with a case, usb c hub, monitor, power.. under the sun or in a cool enviroment. Thanks

I am an Android user and I never think of leaving Android. I am currently shooting all my videos on my YouTube channel with a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Its performance is tremendous, especially in a well-lit studio and in daylight, but its low light performance is poor, so I'm thinking of buying a new device. While reviewing cameras, the models I looked at were always flagship devices. But I was personally disappointed to see that they were at very similar levels. Because having the phone in my pocket at all times and being able to take photos and videos at any time, being practical and lightweight is a great advantage. I am currently impatiently waiting to see what kind of camera the S24 Ultra model will have, and while I was wondering whether I should buy the DJI Osmo Pocket, I was saddened to see that even with its 1 inch sensor, its performance was worse than the phone, except for night and low light performance. I'm still on the phone. Even though I wanted to change it, I couldn't see a camera that would say take me.
