Selective Focus Vs. iPhone 7 Depth-of-Field

[Fr0gburp3r]

I'm also still waiting for any android phone to rival the iPhone's slow motion quality. Android still can't figure out how to have audio "during" slow motion.

Ifone fanbois on note 7 forum always make laugh.

Ifone cameras are 3 years behind the cutting edge. It's hilarious when apple execs make it sound like ifone cameras are God's gift to all of us. 'machine learning's - Schiller sounds like an amateur.

Sorry...duplicate.

Too bad I'm not an ifone fanboy. I have an S4 Note 5 and 7. I'm just not a blind fanboy. So what do you think about what I said about my two posts above? I'll be waiting.

I won't waste my time arguing with you about your knowledge of a phone that has not been released yet. You have no freaking clue what the iPhone 7 camera is going to be like, so save your fanboi behavior till it actually hits people's pockets and real world experiences are posted. I don't listen to a word of apple's press releases since they are comical - I am a Marketing professional, and the way apple distorts the truth is a joke in the profession.

You're a marketing profession. So that makes you legit and that's the final word, right! Looks like I'm hurting your little fanboy feelings because I have an unbiased opinion. I can be a marketing professional at BS as well. I'm a rocket scientist as well and have a PhD in Quatum physics. You're a joke.

Your so called marketing professional skills couldn't hold a jock strap to Apple's marketing team. That's one things they've perfected.

Mod note: let's discuss the topic and not the people in the thread. Thank you!

So you agree your earlier posts were baseless because we haven't seen real life reviews of it yet?

Nope. My post regarding the slow selective focus mode of Note 7 still stands. It's common sense. One lens vs two. Two will always be faster because each lens is designed for specific purposes.

Thanks for the insight here...Camera is the number one feature for me but it would take a lot more than a Camera to make me go to iOS. If I may digress, I'm just waiting on Verizon to get the replacement Note 7's!!!

I want to get the iPhone 7 Plus but everytime I remember I have to use iTunes to copy my music/pics and how big of a mess it is, I steer away

someone said you need to use iTunes to copy music anymore. I'm not an expert I'll be getting the IP7 to play with since I sent my note back.

any links about this? I never heard about that

Yeah except you forgot one important thing, selective focus on the Note 7 is really slow and would only be ideal in a static scene compared to the iPhone 7 which will take the photo in an instant because it already has focus at both distances because of 2 cameras. Please don't sound like a bunch of fanboys and look at the facts. Especially those who claim to be photography enthusiasts. I love my Note 7 but I also give credit where credit is due.

Sorry, I dun really get it. iPhone's two cameras are totally different specs, you mean they can work together to obtain a single image?

This my friend, is a massive myth. I had all of their phones and found that their cameras, albeit well over hyped, weren't any better, if at all, than the best android cameras or Nokias..

I had all the phones, I sold phones, and did my own testing, and although I am no photographer, my eyes are pretty good. The most impressive iPhone cameras to me has always been the front facing cameras, which although were stated as some pretty low megapixels, always seems to take really sharp and impressive selfies and front videos.

I remember when I got an iPhone 4, and was so excited to see this hyped camera. I was very underwhelmed. Then it occurred to me that the people who were hyping the camera may have not been exposed to other great phone cameras for comparison. I think Samsung, for example, has always made great cameras from the very first galaxy S phones.

I am sure someone will do a shootout with all the top phone cameras and we will get a true analytical assessment of the iPhone 7 cameras strengths and weaknesses, if any.

So in your opinion, the iPhone cameras were not good, and it is a "massive myth". Ok then

Most everyone else seems to feel otherwise, including just about all the sites who review these these things. Just becuse iPhones have great cameras doesn't mean other companies can't also. I would never get an iPhone, but I won't deny things about them that work well or are enticing to me (hardware, camera, battery life, etc).

I'd have to see the iPhone's new depth of filed in action later this year to compare to the Note 7 one - to answer the OP question about how it would compare.

 

[slackerjack]

Yeah...Android users have had this a while, dual cameras not with standing. Here's a shot back from my Note 4 days

Focus reversed

Finally got my iPhone 7 and transferred all the data from old iPhone 6. Apple lied again and the depth of field on iPhone 7 is a joke. Camera struggles to focus on touch (on nearby objects, not too close) and the bokeh is not so impressive. check the comparison photos:
Example 1:
Iphone 7 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/shreedharhegde/29743224925/in/dateposted-public/
Galaxy S7 edge - https://www.flickr.com/photos/shreedharhegde/29631537162/in/dateposted-public/

Example 2:
IPhone 7 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/shreedharhegde/29662023011/in/dateposted-public/
Galaxy S7 edge- https://www.flickr.com/photos/shreedharhegde/29452254860/in/dateposted-public/

If you observe the bokeh, its not even close to S7. Also, colors are punched too much, S7 image showing accurate color comparatively. The focus was set on htc logo in the picture.
PS: Selfie camera on iPhone 7 is the best in market.

I think this "feature" needs to go away on all phones, forever. Maybe it's just the photographer in me, I really hate doctored bokeh.

Why does the iPhone images not have the exif data? I just want to see what the settings were.
