> the Camera app on iOS is extremely responsive
I love my iPhone and I'm happy to go to bat for Apple when I agree with them, but the Camera app on iOS is painfully slow compared to a Canon DSLR. The Canon can wake from sleep and take a photo in the tiniest fraction of a second.
- tambourine_man 8y agoI meant shutter release lag. Still, with both devices locked, the time from pick up to first shot won’t be that much different. I’d rather have my Nikon, but I wouldn’t be in troubled if I needed a quick shot and only had my iPhone.
- sjwright 8y agoWhat do you mean locked? I can go from powered off to shooting my Canon in a fraction of the time than my iPhone from locked. And importantly a good photo because I can zoom and frame while the camera is getting the software ready. Where the iPhone wins is when it’s already in my hands.
- tambourine_man 8y agoI don't have an X, bit my SE unlocks (fingerprint) in less than a second. Also, you don't even need to. You can swipe from the bottom and pick the camera app from control center. It's probably 1.5/2s from screen off to photo taken
- sjwright 8y agoI have an iPhone 7. I’ve never quite gotten the gesture right in the moment. It feels like it has some degree of spurious input rejection on the unlock screen.
