From what I've seen of my friends' gears, iPhones beat conventional cameras easily if you don't do any processing. But if you're going to process your DSLR RAWs, smartphones will just lose in comparison.
- ghaff 3y agoYou can also shoot raw with many smartphones. And there are camera apps that give you more control. I'm not sure it's categorical that DSLRs clearly win over iPhones if you process (including cropping etc.) both. As someone else noted, DSLRs really win on lenses. Also things like high burst rate, high shutter speeds, etc. (And the viewfinder can be handy for better framing and just seeing what you're shooting).
- dataflow 3y agoMy friends weren't taking RAWs from their iPhones, so that part didn't really make any difference. (I actually don't think I've encountered anyone who does that!) I don't have an iPhone, but when I've tried RAWs on some other smartphones, they weren't nearly as good as from DSLRs. In fact I sometimes found it hard to even get the quality of their own JPEGs from the RAWs. (Lenses can of course add another factor, but everything I mentioned is with stock lenses.)
