Did a couple of photowalks at the (UK) Birmingham apple store today. Really useful for me given there's quite a jump in features from my old 6 to the 8+.

Here's a few...

Gee no offense to anyone, but this thread isn't making me want to run out and buy an 8/8+. One of the reasons I wanted to upgrade to an iPX is for the camera, but now I'm not so sure...

My photos haven’t rendered well on here but I can assure you the originals are all sharp. It gives my Olympus pen-f a run for its money, which I was rather surprised about.

It won’t replace either of my mirrorless cameras but it’s certainly worth knowing that actually I can get some passable photos if I’ve left them at home.

And again there’s some loss of quality on uploading The sharpness of the trees and the gothic temple is fine on my iPad...

Portrait mode shenanigans.

Then your computer is broken because my pictures still looks damn awesome on my computer.

Yeah I don’t know what that’s about, must be a Mac thing. My pictures look excellent on my laptop (Windows 10).

And you would be right, that's adorable! But, I notice that all of the fine hair detail to its ears has been removed by the Portrait Mode being applied. It doesn't do very well in the regard, eventually they will get the masking right, I hope!

You’re almost never ever going to get each and every tiny little stray hair detail perfectly in portrait mode. You can not compare something done with optics vs something done in software. Optics will always win.

Here’s an example I took with a 5d Mark IV and a 85mm f/1.2 (@ f/1.2)

A real lens will get that super fine detail of stray hairs (whiskers in this case) because it’s optically done, it can resolve that kind of detail, it doesn’t rely on masking to blur, it relies on physics of a lens, focal plains, distance to subject and aperture. iOS portrait mode doesn’t. It’s taking a best guess to mimmick it.

Absolutely! But don't say that too loud around here, you'll get attacked for criticising an Apple feature!

My preference will always be my DSLR, then a third party app to manually control the camera on the 8+ and record the images in RAW.

I was one who went back n forth with you on this.

My point is. Portrait Mode, while will never be as good, it does an pretty amazing job

Have to agree with you, for the 99% they will never even notice the poor masking!
