iPhone 12 Mini VS Professional Camera!!! By Josh Gillis

Hey how's it going welcome back to the channel glad to see you here today's going to be an interesting day, because I'm going to put two cameras head to head against each other to see if you, the audience, can tell the difference. Basically, the cameras at hand today will be the iPhone 12 mini and the other camera will be the canon, EOS r, I'm really interested to see. If I can trick you guys into thinking that one photo looks just as good as the others. So let's go do that. Oh, can't forget the coffee. First, lets cheers now for those of you who don't know this.

Here are some specs on the iPhone 12 mini the iPhone 12 mini, has an f 1.4 aperture, which means that it lets in a lot of light, and it has a really shallow depth of field. So that means that when you're taking a portrait of someone or something the object or the person will be really separated from the background, which is ideal in any photography and even filmmaking situation, there are some differences between this phone and the 12 pro, but not by a lot. The 12 pro only comes with a LIDAR sensor and a telephoto lens, but otherwise the camera system is basically the same lots of great stuff in this tiny little package here. Something that you may not know about the iPhone cameras is that they have now a wide camera and an ultra-wide camera. The wide camera is somewhere around a 10 millimeter lens focal length and the ultra-wide would be somewhere around an eight to even maybe a seven to six millimeter uh lens length, which is kind of crazy.

That's super wide, and normally, when you go that wide, you get this fish eye effect, but what I've noticed on these cameras is when I switch over to the ultra-wide. I don't really see the fish eye. There is no distortion in the corners, which is pretty great. That's amazing, and I think that that's a really great advantage of this camera, I don't have any lenses that are f 1.4, or I don't have any ultra-wide lenses in my kit on my EOS r, this is the widest lens. I have.

This is a 35 millimeter, and it goes down to an f 1.8. However, because of the differences in sensor size, the shallow depth of field will actually be around the same. This sensor is a one-inch sensor actually yeah. This sensor is around like one and a half inches almost two inches. That means that really it lets in a lot more light and that shallow depth of field is going to be easier to achieve at any focal length.

Okay. So what we're going to do is we're going to take some photos of this mug here. So, let's see, like I said, take a picture of this mug see if we can make it look pretty which camera is going to outperform. Okay, so took some photos of the mug what'd. You think I can already see that uh, it's going to be a lot harder to make them match we're going to move on to a second photo.

This time, I'm going to try and take a photo that has some extra colors in it. So that way we can see how the iPhone renders color and then also we're going to do a third photo where it has a mixture of color, some skin tone, and all of these photos are going to be testing the shallow depth of field. I just want to make sure that that's clear cool, let's go for it, okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to throw up each photo and you guys comment below which ones you think belongs to which camera no cheating? But let me know, let's see if you can get it right, so what'd you think. Was it what you were expecting? Did you get all three photos right? Could you tell? Was it easy? Was it hard? Are you shocked? Let me know I'm really interested to see if you were able to get all three right. I would say personally uh the biggest tell for me to see what the difference was in depth of field, which is what we spoke about earlier in the video iPhones tend to try and create an artificial depth of field.

It's quite apparent in the photo with the mug, as it actually kind of cut out a piece of the handle on the mug felt that that was where the plane of focus actually ends and starts to get blurry. That was the biggest tell for me was that artificial depth of field at the end of the day, guys it doesn't truly matter about which camera you're, using whether it's an iPhone professional camera at the end of the day it matters most about where that photo comes from. What's the story behind the photo but yeah, if you guys, like this video hit that like button, so that way, YouTube can promote it out to other photographers aspiring photographers filmmakers, so that way they can enjoy. This experiment also feel free to subscribe. Uh.

That would greatly support the channel and me and yeah it'll help me keep producing more videos like this. So let me know if you want to see something similar, but maybe from a video perspective. Let me know down below alright, that's it for me guys. I will catch you in the next one. Bye, grandpa.
