Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Depth of Field Comparison – iPhone 7 Plus vs Canon 5D Mark iV”.
What’S up folks how’s it going, this is vlog hope you guys are all doing well, so the new iPhone 7 and 7 plus cameras is pretty much getting rave reviews. A lot of people are even arguing. That is probably one of the best smartphone cameras ever made. In fact, DX Omar gave it an overall score of 86, which is pretty good overall now. What we’re specifically interested in is the 7 plus camera, which has a dual lens. / dual sensor configuration basically this allows you to do a real optical zoom up to 56 of millimeters or two times, and that’s definitely a handy feature if you want to get closer without compromising quality. Additionally, with a new update coming up, Apple is going to launch a new camera, app mode called portrait mode which is going to basically emulate the kind of shallow depth of field or bokeh effect that you get with large format.
Sensors such as in DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, so what we’re going to do is actually compare the seven plus camera versus probably one of the most best full-frame DSLR s. You can get right now. The Canon 5d Mark 4, which just came out – and this is a full-frame DSLR, now obviously there’s a huge price difference between these two cameras.
But let’s actually see how the iPhone compares against a full-frame DSLR terms of overall photo quality and images, and certainly how that bokeh effect yields in direct head-to-head comparison. So, firstly, we’re just going to quickly glance at these specification differences between these two camera platform, starting with the iPhone and has a third inch sensor. The secondary camera has a third point: six inch sensor and effectively you’re.
Looking at about 28 millimeters on the first camera, l / lens configuration about 56 millimeters and it has basically a crop factor about 7.21 times now. On the Canon side, the 5ds, obviously a full-frame DSLR. So there is no crop, it’s basically using a 36 millimeters by 24 millimeter full-frame, CMOS chip and, of course, with that large sensor, pretty much you would expect of a photo quality and low-light performance to be quite a big difference between the two, but surprisingly, in most Well-Lit environments, the overall sharpness that the 12 megapixel a sensor displays on the iPhone is fairly fantastic, we’re using even a cheap 50 millimeter Nikon lens and F 1.8 and, as you can see in terms of the detail levels both are fairly comparable.
And obviously, if you go to a hundred percent pixel to pixel ratio, you can obviously render out a lot more sharper details with that 30 megapixel Canon sensor than with the 12 megapixel sensor. But generally speaking for most people needs the color rendition. Overall, sharpness is a really quite excellent on the iPhone, but the big question is: how does it compare with a DSLR with a fast 50 millimeter lens in terms of portrait photography? Well, the first thing that you should know that, basically, the effect that you’re getting on the iPhones portrait photography mode is more or less a blurring effect.
That’S happening in software, there’s no actual optics, that’s creating that bokeh or out-of-focus elements like you can see on an actual large format sensor and wide open lens. You can see that with this example shots all the out-of-focus elements are nicely circular, emulating the actual aperture of the large-format lens itself, and it gives that kind of dreamy. Look that everyone’s used to with the traditional portrait photography on the same example shot using the iPhone. Basically, there’s a blurring effect, that’s happening and there’s a depth sensor, that’s actually using both of the cameras to gauge where the foreground object is in a relationship background. So there’s actually some clever software that’s happening and you actually can see this adaptive field effect in real time on the iPhone screen, which is definitely a cool feature. There’S been actually a couple of different smartphones in the past that have had the selective focus / depth of field effect, but you could never see that effect happening in real time.
So this is definitely unique to the iPhone 7 plus, but we’re just going to run through a couple of different examples. So you guys can kind of tell the difference between a real shallow depth of field versus the fake emulation. That’S happening on the iPhone, but really on that guy’s and that’s really, generally speaking, I would have to say that the fake shallow depth, the field effect that we’re getting on the iPhone is actually pretty relatively convincing.
It’S definitely not gon na sway real portrait photographers to shoot with iPhones. Now I still think there’s a definite place for professional full-frame, DSLR s and even higher and cameras that with even larger sensors, because there’s something that things cannot emulate at this point. Eventually, technology will get better and better will find closer resemblance with smaller sensors, with comparing it against dsls, but for the time being, there’s still a pretty big difference between the two in terms of getting that shallow depth of field effect. So, thank you so much for watching.
