He’s actually pretty much on point with this one, and the prints do look good. 99 percent of people would never notice they were taken on an iphone.
For a phone camera it's very impressive indeed. Take-aways (stated or inferred) from the video:
- In the right light and in the right hands, it'll take great photos
- The technology is clever but fallible (edge artefacts with bokeh, depth-of-field anomalies etc.)
- Even a qualified photographer is likely to use it in "automatic" modes and merely concentrate on the composition, because...
- ... when all's said and done, it's still a phone with phone ergonomics
It's clearly capable of being a serious photographic tool in the right circumstances, but - equally clearly - it's a very different tool than a dedicated large-sensor interchangeable lens camera, with different applications, advantages and disadvantages. There's crossover in potential use cases, but we should stop comparing the two and simply acknowledge that they're different tools. A combination of use case and individual user requirements / expectations will dictate which is the better tool at a given time...
