The iPhone 12 Pro Max might be worth it—for the camera alone
1 week ago - Since then, Apple and pretty much every other smartphone camera manufacturer has been refining their software and algorithmic photography techniques to squeeze every last bit out of hardware that—in the grand scheme of things—hasn’t changed all that much. This scene has both very dark and very bright areas. I was impressed that the camera kept the yellow leaves in the top right corner from blowing out while pulling up the detail in the building in the background. I like the way this looks a lot. Stan Horaczek · When Apple introduced the iPhone 12 Pro Max, however, camera nerds like myself took notice.

Why iPhone 12 Pro Max's camera is so exciting to pro photographers
I don’t think any pro photographer would consider using an iPhone for any serious work - especially sports or action shots. iPhone cameras are great cause they’re always with you, and take relatively nice shots, but you really don’t have complete control over them. Using Halide (or similar apps) adds another layer of control to the iPhone camera, but it’s still limiting. More on reddit.com

Apple's iPhone 12 Pro camera is shamefully bad (says Samsung)

It seems to me that the number one rival would say anything to their enemy to get more people to use their products.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, a Photographer’s Perspective – The Sweet Setup
December 13, 2020 - I used to have to manually under-expose every single iPhone photo I took in harsh light or against the sky. Now, the camera handles it so well that I rarely have to make an exposure adjustment before I tap the shutter button. This isn’t new with the 12 Pro Max — I also noticed this had gotten a lot better with the 11 Pro, and the improvement with the 12 Pro Max is almost imperceptible.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review: Camera specs and app, photo quality
November 20, 2020 - The Night Mode Portraits, exclusive to iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max, are shot with the main camera. Deep Fusion is used when light conditions aren't ideal, say, indoors. It triggers instead of Smart HDR and Night Mode. Deep Fusion uses four frames before you hit the shutter, four more once you do, and one long exposure shot. The 16-core Neural engine will select the best frames and create a high-quality HDR photo that is very detailed, sharp, and natural-looking.

The bands nearer the top edge are actually high thin cirrus clouds. Click to enlarge. I should also mention the iPhone 12 Pro Max produces great quality 1080P or 4K videos. The sensor-based stabilization of the main camera results in jiggle free videos.
