    I think this’ll be a perfect B camera especially in a pinch. For interviews keep your A camera with a longer lens for that nice bokeh, but for a wide B angle you’re not getting that shallow anyway so as long as the colors and DR match you’re set. Finally gonna upgrade my 2017 iPhone XR 😂

  • @03chrisv

    ​@charvlim5159 R100 still wins. The APS-C sensor is capable of capturing more light and depth of field. My 10 year old Canon T5i that maxes out at 1080p 30 still looks better than my Galaxy S22 Ultra recording at 4k. Phones will never look as good as dedicated mirrorless cameras that have APS-C or full frame sensors. I can see future high end phones maybe getting micro four third sensors, and along with some AI tricks might get close to APS-C cameras, but those phones will probably be a little bulky, very expensive and have limited video recording times due to heat issues.

    That was a good job matching, I'm glad to see Apple is trying to push video farther instead of stagnating. If you're planning more Apple Log comparisons, the closest Android comparison would be something like an s23 or Pixel 8 running MotionCam. As others have noted, doing a more leveled comparison between the FX3 (by stopping it down) vs Apple Log vs MotionCam would be really interesting.

    Great content, much appreciated. As a filmmaker and an early adopter, I made the transition from 16/36mm film to video many years ago, staying ahead of the curve. Recently, in January, I decided to part ways with my Sony A7siii and 10 lenses. I used the proceeds to fully invest in an iPhone 15 Pro Max, while still holding onto my Sony FS7. Although I've been an early adopter in the past, this time, I find myself slightly late to the party. Nevertheless, I'm actively learning from others, aiming to catch up by June. I'm awaiting new announcements from NAB in April before considering any further gear purchases. These are exciting times.

    I could see better dynamic range on the iPhone. Except for the depth of field, the colors, details and DR match pretty well between the two (at least if general audience is considered). Throw in a tele lens on the main sensor of the iPhone and we have some shallow depth! Weird times.

Is it worth learning fx6 color correction etc to get a better picture and is it complicated? it looks complicated imo. thanks
