Ultimately, it's all about convenience: lugging around a heavy camera and lenses, then transferring everything to a laptop or phone for editing, or just using your phone to snap, edit, export, and post quickly. On my 3-month world trip, I initially invested around $6,000 in a new camera setup, but after just a few uses, I found it too cumbersome. For the rest of my journey across 30 destinations, I relied solely on my iPhone. It was fantastic, accompanying me everywhere from glacier waters to the Swiss Alps, and the quality was perfect for Instagram posts and creating beautiful travel books. As for upgrades, I'm still using the iPhone 12 Pro but contemplating the 15 Pro, considering the cost and benefits.

@Djsonley

As someone who takes the a7iii with me travelling and using it for my business you can definitely see flaws in the iPhone's camera. Something just doesn't look right to my eyes as I take almost all my photos with the Sony these days. You can't unsee it. Video however is where phones really shine as my A7iii just has zero image stabalisation. I'm kinda tempted to upgrade to your camera soon for the smooth video alone but I love my iPhone for everything but photos.

@amandafotinos

These came out so nice Gerry !!!! Thank you for having me 🤩

@paul-erikhansen5769

It is only 48 mpixel if you use the X1 lens on iPhone, as soon as you use the other lenses, OR use Portrait Mode  or Night Mode, it switches to 12mpixel.... but it is not at all being "advertized" :-)

@Chuckie3D

Gerard, what is your opinion of third-party lenses adding on to iPhone 15 lenses?  Degraded quality?  The competition is stiff, but I do wonder about any tradeoffs.  Thank you for the video and for extending your own LUTs etc to any of us, even those who think that falls under "promotion."  Nothing wrong with that.

@dhrubo9140

Best comparison I have seen ..❤ love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️

@privatebenfallsprivat8428

I could tell which is which but to be honest Im dissapointed with the a7 iv because it was not that sharp at the one picture you revealed at the end

@rowdyfps

the graded log footage from the iphone looks so good

@ilyadynin

8:49 iPhone on the right, but it's really good, if someone would just show me the pic I would really not care that he left one is better

@paulm8157

Provocative topic, balanced info, not so subtle products promotion, Gerard. Have you tried the new LR AI Lens Blur feature? Comparison to phone might be worthy topic for separate vid.
Are you an Apple Watch man? Watch has camera app to connect to smartphone camera — app has small live view display and shutter control.
If you use off-camera flash, your options on the smartphone are extremely limited or non-existent. 
[Typo police alert for this one: at 2:35 “Image Qaulity” should be “Image Quality”😊. Got a spell checker?] Cheers!

@DreySantesson

iPhone has good quality, but the difference is clear to me

@bhuiyanhasib4742

what is the blogging camera that you currently filming this video? 🙂

@ericmwitimwiti3963

now wich one should i go for?

@toasty-toast

Can you do a full frame with kit lens on auto mode vs iPhone 15pro on auto comparing jpegs? As a non sophisticated user taking family pics of kids  I just put everything on auto and use jpegs. I do find in the dark iPhone photos are terrible and look painted vs a real camera

@TheGardenGame

Ok. So this what I’m assuming: If I’m not a photographer or videographer but want great image quality my 15 pro max is good enough? If I want to be more of a professional and mess around in those worlds, use my a7iv?

@cyclesix

For anyone who is at least a bit in photography, it's super easy to spot the difference. iPhone uses computational photography and usually overprocesses the image. The colors are off and especially skin tones are inaccurate. Also, their marketing BS, things like: the 48-megapixel main sensor and it's actually 12 (upscaled), and most misleading (lying) is the aperture on those lenses. f/f2.8 on 120mm is actually f/21. lol. 
However, I have an iPhone and I have a mirrorless setup. I like them both but these comparisons are like mixing apples and oranges.

@Yusaku_VCP

First. 😍 Hey handsome you need some ham?! 🤣 Been know you from Mitch Lally! 😍

@syed.farhan_7

Did u record from which camera?

@BelCure

3:22 all what you need to know about comparing "gayphone 15 pixel mess" with glorious sony a7 iv camera. great test for blind people. Round. Period.

@kkegao

Nice comparsion. At 4:41, "Portrat Mode", there is a huge difference between iphone and 85 1.4 len. With 85 1.4 len, right shoulder gets naturally blurred. But iphone has clear right shoulder, which makes the image a "fake PS image", LOL. The more the right shoulder is further back, more fakeness iphone image will have. I would not use a iphone to replace my mirrorless.
