Samsung S23 ULTRA vs iPHONE 14 PRO MAX vs Sony FX30, Photo & Video Comparison, low light footage
Ғылым және технология
I took the new Samsung S23 Ultra, Sony Fx30 (with the new Sony 10-20mm F4 G lens) and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, through a crazy camera test and compared them against each other to see how they really perform in lowlight, stabilization, slowmotion, sharpness, mixed light, sound wise and see there flaws and differences.

Some people say iphone has best video This is actually accurate, iphone mostly produce brighter video than samsung. But it turns out there are some blowup bright area in it. Samsung is darker but better for me. But when it comes to lowlight, samsung tend to make their video brighter, so it turns out, it is noisy, iphone keep it natural in dark and make it look clean and better. For sharpness and details, they are actually both equal, even some reviewers says they like iphone more even tho in their comparison content samsung did better in some video department.
Detailed and nice review! Also love your humor and energy ✌

@@robhughes8516 rly?, don't you see on the video that the iPhone has serious problems with focus?, on top of the washed out style of image and bad auto white balance. If you are looking for a compact phone, then the S20+ is perfect, and the camera is as good as the S20U. And if you are really into photography, you can always use raw photo function and adjust the “the over saturated look”.

While I certainly understand the convenience of the S23 & IPhone, but wouldn't it be a more fair comparison to add an ECM-B1M on the FX-30 for sound and unsure if mentioned what gimbal was utilized (DJI RS 3 or other), I did see mention of the Sony 10-20mm F4 G lens for this test but it does not have image stabilization (was this intentional?) Why not the chonky Tamron 17-70mm F/2.8 that does offer image stabilization? Please be gentle, I am learning. All information is appreciated.

I don’t think so, I didn’t use external sound for the phones and no gimbals..so they are compared the same, as they are. And about the lens, it’s a native sony lens, small light weight. So a small light weight sony setup compared to the popular phones. Thnx for your comment!

feels like FX30 makes everything look more like film, bit soft at moments etc, both phones feel a bit like shooting with a camcorder. Cool to see how far phones are coming. Think they both are starting to get level on when a phone would be the easier option versus a camera. I'd like to ad if there was a camera company (think Sony would be the one to do it,) making a mirrorless with a camera AI and a dedicated camera android os that would not only be the best of both worlds think that company could well be the next market leader

@@BPGamer0110 to be honest there's one major issue with all these videos and comparisons. And that's iPhones video as 4k 30 is different story , then 4k 60 is always darker then 4k 30 and it's very bad choice for low light, then there's HDR and that posses 2 additional problems , iPhones HDR video is tricky to edit and some programs or creator might completely shifted colours or partially mess up something during coversion to a standard depth video , as these iphones HDR videos are 99% being converted to SDR, either by iPhone by sharing as SDR or later on in a editing program and as I said someone can mess it up.
