hey guys it's Adrienne welcome back to my channel I just sneezed like 10 times
right before this started so my nose is red that's why yes okay the first two
minutes of my intro didn't record audio so here I am basically I'll just get to
the point which was saying hey guys what's up it's Adrienne Phantom welcome
back to my channel today I'm taking a first look at the iPhone 10's max camera
looking at video and photos and just really getting a feel for how freakin
good this is and no it's not click me I really am selling one of my cinema
cameras because this iPhone camera is unreal so let's just get into it because
this is weird and the audio doesn't line up and okay bye
people often complain about the ridiculous price points for these phones
which I completely understand but as someone who does photography and
filmmaking as a job something I have to consider is the camera on this device so
for me I could justify this purchase if this camera is good enough to actually
use for cinematic things so over the last like week or two weeks or so since
I've gotten this phone I've really just been messing around with all the camera
settings both video and photo seeing what works what doesn't what I like what
I don't and overall I am incredibly impressed so impressed in fact that I'm
gonna be selling one of my Sony cameras and my stabilizer crane for it now that
I got the DJI Osmo two mobile crane that's over there you can see it for
this device so essentially how much easier is it when I want to go get
cinematic b-roll on a hike or something like that instead of lugging around this
giant crane is my camera I can just take this and if I want the stabilizer I can
grab the stabilizer but it's way smaller way less bulky I just need one thing my
phone and that's it so it is not quick made I am absolutely selling that camera
this camera that I'm shooting this on my Canon 70d with a sigma 1.4 lens is
definitely gonna still be my youtube camera I'm not gonna use this for
youtube but for more like cinematic b-roll this shoots in 4k 60 frames which
I love and it is just definitely the most crisp iPhone camera quality I have
seen so without further ado I'm gonna show you guys some of the test footage
and photos I've taken and some like tips and best practices and apps that you can
use to really really take the most stunning photos and videos that you can
let's go
so I'm just gonna mention some of the more notable features of this camera one
of the things I have noticed is doing really well is this smart HDR setting so
now this phone has smart HDR so it's taking a lot of images capturing a lot
of images basically what you get as a result is the best possible combination
of those photos so you have a lot more shadow detail a lot more highlight
detail in your everyday normal iPhone photos which is great another aspect I
really like is the adjustable depth of field in portrait mode so in the past
when you do portrait mode you couldn't really adjust the depth of field which
means how blurry or InFocus the background is now you can actually
adjust it from F 1.4 to F 16 which is incredible so I just think that range is
really cool I still find that portrait mode is not perfect which really pisses
me off it should be perfect like all the examples on the website of those photos
are so perfect like so perfectly outlined and for some reason whenever I
do it it's not perfect so that kind of pisses me off but overall I mean it's
incredible that this front camera and back camera can do that portrait mode
and that you can adjust the depth of field it also just has the enhanced
bokeh effect that just means that that background blur just looks a lot crisper
and better than it did before using Apple claims that there is more
low-light detail on this phone I have yet to really see that I'll have to
compare it with my iPhone 10 which I still have here but it is going to be a
lot better overall though no camera is going to perform amazing in low-light
unless the sensor is really big so yes they are saying that this has improved
and it has still not amazing and that's still the one pet peeve of mine like I
wish that that could be soft I wish that low-light could look good on any device
then I would be perfectly happy with this
so this camera has the capability of shooting in 4k 60 frames which I
absolutely love you could do that on previous models as well but these two
cameras the wide angle and the telephoto lens make for a really really crisp
amazing image not only that but the screen for playback for 4k is like
insane another thing I'm really loving with this camera is the optical image
stabilization I do notice when I'm taking videos it's a lot more steady and
a lot more stable there's not so much of that like shaking this or motion blur
where everything's kind of warped it's really doing a great job of keeping it
steady and I'm gonna be making a video using my DJI Osmo mobile too and see
kind of comparing like just footage with the phone versus footage with the
stabilizer I just think it's absolutely incredible what this iPhone camera can
do now it is absolutely worth it if you are someone who takes photos and videos
maybe you have a bunch of cameras and maybe some of them you don't use that
much I would 100% sell them and just use this because you're already paying for a
device you're paying for the phone and everything else that comes with it the
camera now is so up to par if you're paying thousands of dollars for a camera
you may as well utilize the one you have on the back your device I'm not gonna
lie I've always been skeptical but I've also just not been aware of how good it
is and also the things that you can do to make it even better so here I'm going
to show you some of the footage I took in 4k 60 frames per second I used a
color grading LUT on Final Cut Pro and let's roll the clip
so as you can see it's pretty good it's not as crisp as it looked on my phone
which I'm kind of confused about like the 4k was not as like Chris I'm going
to be making a separate video showing you guys two of my absolute favorite
camera apps that really take your camera experience on the iPhone 10 has max to
another level but I'm gonna save that for now I'm just gonna mention what
those two apps are and show you a couple examples the first app is called Hydra
and basically I use this to get a little bit more if HDR then even this camera
provides and it also has a feature for low-light where it creates an even
better low-light image and then the other app is halide this just really
allows you to have manual control over your iPhone camera which i think is
super important it lacks a lot of the functionality that like a DSLR would
have like the exposure in the shutter speed and all of that so on halide you
are able to kind of adjust those right from an easy user interface I'm not
gonna go into too much depth on that because I want to make a separate video
just about those apps so stay tuned for that subscribe to my channel if you're
new I hope you guys enjoyed this video let me know down below if you guys have
upgraded your phones and if you did what you got and if you didn't let me know
down below what you wish you had in a camera cuz I'm curious I always wish
there was more low-light capability in smaller devices and cameras I want to
hear from you guys let me know down below subscribe if you're new love you
so much I'll see you in my next video bye
