Ever wondered if your camera is as good as your iPhone?

[Walti]

Interesting side by side... I think which is which is clear!? But the phone has surprised me!

[David Mallott]

It might help the discussion if you could point out which camera took which photo ... ?

If you zoom in a little it's too obvious to need me to tell you!, but everyone who's commented is correct. Laft one camera, right one iPhone, the detail is just nowhere near the same.

Left OMD, Right Iphone.....???

Or both the same camera...

[blu-by-u]

I agree with MJ. Right is the iPhone and the left is a camera

[Keith-369]

Absolutely, the left one is a keeper, the right one needs so much work that I'd either dump it or keep it to see just what, if anything, could be done with it.
Cameras rule!

I hope you don't mind but I took a screen capture of the Phone shot and processed it in Topaz Photo Ai using its super focus feature.
This is what it came up with. IMHO it's a lot closer to the Camera one now.

[Keith-369]

Good try Dave, but the weaknesses of the phone camera for this type of photography are still there.
I reckon that if you had done the same thing with the camera shot and put them side by side, we would be back where we started. Silk purse/sows ear comes to mind.

On the right is definitely the iPhone it falls apart when enlarging

[Phill D]

I just looked at them both on my phone and they both look pretty good. Amazing how close they are viewed as most would.

For me there's no comparison; the left one is totally superior. The right one would be acceptable if you didn't have a camera with you.
