Considering the new iPhones have 48mp sensors, a crop from the regular sensor might in fact be the best option, quality wise. The longer a lens is, the smaller the aperture, so the 5x lens might have inferior light-gathering ability.
- The_Colonel 3y agoA 5x crop from 48Mpx will produce a 2Mpx image. It's less trivial to calculate the light gathering capability of each camera, but I doubt the zoom is 20 times worse.
- cozzyd 3y agoWell if you have plenty of light this doesn't matter. The wide is supposedly f1.8 while the telephoto is supposedly f2.8. the wide has pixels 4 times bigger, so the effective sensor size is about 2/3 on the wide for this field of view. So I think the telephoto gets roughly half the light as the wide if I'm doing mental math correctly.
