That beginning made me want it 1000 times more

[johnrazor]

Really appreciate you point out what "hasn't" changed. People forget to do that. I've got the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

[MasterofOrion]

It was so wholesome to see both Arun and Parker mention each others channel and videos on their channels respectively 🤗

[FitKannadiga]

What a way to show the video quality of iphone. 😍 Looks so beautiful with your colour grading skills. Never got a doubt that it was recorded in 13pro. 👍

The whole reason I joined FTF was because of how thorough you are Parker. Unbiased, and your teaching methods are A1. So much value in the course.

[ShevonSalmon]

Damn if you didn’t say the A roll was shot on the iPhone I wouldn’t know since I’m watching the video on a smaller screen

[mattc]

That intro was so good Parker. Colour grading is so important

[VinoDeRio]

You had me at the intro itself. Wonderful way to show off the phone's camera system! I'm not a heavy camera user from my prev iPhones but I gave my iPhone 12 to my dad so that I could get the 13 Pro for the 120Hz screen. Surprisingly I've been using the new camera system more. I've gotten into macrophotography and my recent trip to Quebec City, Ontario Canada all my videos were stunning to take. I'm loving my Sierra blue iPhone 13 pro :D

[tparkerevans]

I’ve been disappointed with cinematic mode until I saw this video. It looks so good here

[JBAYMEDIA]

This was for sure the best comparison between 12 and 13 pro series. I upgraded from 12 pro to 13 pro. And I’d say the jump IS with it if you’re hardcore into video and photos.

[amitnagpal]

You have done the most brilliant demonstration of cinematic mode. Apple needs to retweet this.

[venkateshk]

No unnecessary talk, straight to the point with live examples. Great video !!!

[DreamCatcher-]

I can tell you this: I just witnessed the best review ever. 🎩🎩

[frekebm]

This video was so well set up and informative! Loved watching this and it was really easy to understand even the more technical stuff. You also pointed out stuff I didn’t hear on different video’s yet. Also showed the power of the 13pro by shooting the whole video on it. Well done!!

[LetsBuildThatApp]

Cinematic mode looks pretty weird in version 1.0, it has this halo effect that just not natural. Looking forward to v2.0 of cinematic mode though.

[shalevhaham]

In the beginning, I was sure you shot this video on a mirrorless/DSLR.
After you pointed out that the iPhone was your A-ROLL camera today, I looked for the blurry edges on the focused subject (you), and I barely saw it. That's actually great for first-gen stuff.

[islandsensation]

"I wouldn't even mind if they made the whole back cameras" 😂😂 So true though.

[foolpersona_]

man people who didnt know how to use cinematic mode should watch this video. I like that you learned how tomuse it properly so you can share it with us

[xmanpies]

This opening is exactly what I was hoping it could do! I tried and tried with my older iphones to no avail! Thank you for this review.

[LaneCarter]

I kinda wish Apple or someone else would make a straight camera with some of these smart software features. That way you could make it bulkier and have a bigger battery/swappable storage and such.
