iPhone XR Wins Best Single Camera Award

He most definitely does use raw photos to bring up darks and lower highlights. Maybe I’m thinking of another photographer, but the iPhone still won either way. 

They were not raw. I can 100% guarantee it.

iPhone X doesn’t have smartHDR or the new ISP or the 8-Core neural engine

How about look at the second video with the XS? Stop ignoring half the post.

Shooting in RAW and trying to manipulate the image to expose it properly results in a loss of detail. You can’t enhance data the sensor never got, something the new iPhones don’t have to deal with.

DSLRs have had +.3/-.3 exposure burst for what? 10 years now. This is what the iphone is doing but just processing at that moment. Take those 3 frames from a DSLR and combine them then tell me how well the iphone does in DR vs a DSLR.

And like I said, unless you spend money on the big guns, iPhone XR is going to capture more detail, but admittedly probably less accurate color, than a DSLR taking a single RAW photo. 

No its not. It never will. If you knew anything about photography you shoot a stop higher if you are doing post. This allows you to pull back highlights in a single image with keeping low detail still there.

Even high end DSLRs don't have that capability because it is difficult to process those photos in real time in-camera without a significant deficit in performance, particularly due to the larger amount of information that these larger sensors can capture. Even still, because these larger sensors can capture so much information, you can get relatively close to the XR's final output with a single exposure on these cameras. 

I dont think people realize how much data cameras like a7iii, a6500, D850, have to process on their own. They already have low battery life, I cant imagine putting an arm CPU in a DSLR.

You only posted 1 video, I ignored nothing that was relevant.

The main issue is really their battery capacity. The FW50 in my a6000 is 1020mAh (I have 2 Ravpower extras rated at 1100mAh) and they're good for up to around 300+ shots. The newer FZ100 can do almost twice that but they're still smaller than the average capacity of a typical smartphone battery. 

 

That FZ100 will turn into an FW50 if we add an SoC capable of processing images computationally
