Re: DSLR vs. iPhone

Triple camera? Impressive credentials.

I shot the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston yesterday with my Canon and my iPhone X. The 300 mm lens of the Canon was a clear advantage but the picture quality of the iPhone was top notch.

The X has a feature called Portrait that I've been playing around with. These two examples were shot the day before at a farm in Vermont. The first example is called Stage Light and the second is Studio Light. When I download the photos to my PC, Stage light transfers both images.

Extraordinary! I’m not familiar with the brand.

Hard to believe you can get pictures of this quality from a “telephone”!

Huawei is the second largest smartphone manufacturer by sales volume behind Samsung, having overtaken Apple earlier this year. They also own the Honor sub-brand.

You won't hear much about Huawei in the US because Huawei has been accused of being too close to the Chinese government by the US authorities. The big phone networks in the US won't sell Huawei phones.

Huawei is actually best known for their telco switch infrastructure equipment and I believe they are the biggest player in the world now. There seem to be fears that buying this gear is considered a 'national security risk'.

Nevertheless, they now make great Android handsets. They have teamed up with Leica to develop really excellent camera tech for their phones. I have been using P20 Pro and just this week received a their new flagship phonne, the Mate 20 Pro to try.

I have written an article on this week's Mate 20 series launch here:

Re: DSLR vs. iPhone

I have been busy putting a Huawei P20 Pro smartphone through its paces. Almost since its launch 5 months or so ago it has sat at the top of the DxOMark smartphone camera technical quality ratings with a clear lead over its rivals, including the iPhone 10XS and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.



Here's a few examples

These are stunning. I can see camera sales falling off if all phones become as good as this.

Developed in Lightroom from a 40 megapixel DNG RAW file.














And they have just launched the Mate 20 Pro which has an ultra-wide camera.

Re: DSLR vs. iPhone

Here's an example. The top shot was taken by an iPHone X. Then I used Snapseed to apply, HDR-Scape, then one of the BW filters, and finally Drama.

Re: DSLR vs. iPhone

Snapseed is a brilliant app - I also have Lightroom mobile on my phone and, whilst it gives you the choice of shooting RAW (in DNG format), Snapseed often does a better job!

A brilliant and very informative tutorial, Pat

Never heard of Snapseed. But will be downloading the app now.

Looking back at the beginning of this thread, a lot of shots are missing. Apparently I linked to a third party photo hosting service that no longer displays the pictures. Oh well.

I've mentioned before that I like Google's Snapseed app for post processing iPhone photos. I'm now using an iPhone X and I really like it. I put together a short video tutorial on how to use Snapseed.

Apparently the Forum software no longer supports videos. I looked at earlier ones I posted and they're now gone. The only thing I can suggest is to search YouTube for Pat and Penny's Travel Channel and you should find a Snapseed Tutorial or copy and paste the URL below without the quotation marks.

Thanks for posting this, I love tall ships - wished we saw more of them.

Haven't done much phone photography.

Photographed the Warrior on numerous occasions. But this was taken with an old Samsung J3

Re: DSLR vs. iPhone

I like the way you go home - very pretty.

Unfortunately it's a matter of having to at the moment - you may have seen news about Northamptonshire County Council being in financial difficulties, and that extends to road and bridge repairs. There are 3 bridges out of action in a 10 mile radius and the potholes are incredible. That being said, it is a very interesting road but as it's single track you have to pick your spots to get the camera out very carefully.

Our bridge (taken out by a drunk driver who demolished BOTH parapets) is supposed to be repaired by November, but we're not hopeful. Since it was the main gritting route in and out of the village, this could get interesting.

Due to the bridge over the stream on the way out of the village being damaged, we're all having to do a minimum 4 mile detour for the foreseeable future. Either way is single track at time, but I've been going this way because it's prettier!

Taken on the drive home a couple of nights ago on my phone (LG Nexus 5X - a Google phone) and edited in Snapseed because it came out quite flat and it wasn't!

Anne was taking a snap on her phone yesterday of our granddaughter, who immediately grabbed her toy phone and took her babies - not bad thoughts for a two year old.

Excellent - tog in training ... ... but I love those chairs. We (I) have three in the conservatory and they just fit my back a treat. They are so supportive and comfortable for me.
