Which is the best Smart Phone Camera

[ChaseB]

Sorry Linus but this is a good video from MKBHD. This is the top 5 best smartphone cameras. Please watch the video and don't skip around. Don't spoil the answers either. This really surprised me. iPhone and Android lovers will be shocked. Trust me. Please make comments on the video, just don't spoil it.

 

Thanks

For me, it was between D and C. I wouldn't have thought C was a [watch the video].

I found this comparison rather interesting. He did not give us a reference for what the photo should have looked like it, would have been nice to have a reference photo taken with the intention to capture the real colours and contrast. I think this comparison is like walking into an electronics store and picking TV's, all you have is the image(if you take out all the "shit" they put in them) with no basis of what it should look in real life. (excluding the depth of field and focus etc). It comes down to subjectivity to a point rather than objectivity. I prefer photos to represent reality rather than "enhance" it. But in saying that I ended up with A and C, I was already looking at A so that's good.

Hopefully, this makes sense.....

more or less all you did was tell people to go watch a video, you didn't even tell us which the best even is.

I liked E the most... funny that the phone I have right now is an older version of E. This is how I thought it went (don't worry, I never refer to any phone model by name in the "spoilers" ChaseB):

Spoiler

E>C=A>D>B

Here is my logic:

Spoiler

D had some really stand out photos and A had some just plain bad photos, but A overall was still better... slightly, and I mean it was hard to put a > sign and not an = sign between A and D. C was at least average to better than average in all cases, but had no clear victories (many close to ties for best though... after E of course) and definitely no bad shots. B actually won in the picture with groot in my mind because you could see more color, but it came in last place due to crazy high white balance (probably due to the high exposure) in every other picture except the interior of the Tesla. B was just average in that picture. E had the best color reproduction, best exposure levels (except with groot, B won that), and best details overall so it wiped the board as the clear victor.
