"CCD sensors are known for producing higher-quality, low-noise images with increased light sensitivity"

Bull. They are known for a terrible high ISO performance in comparison to the current CMOS...

@User1234567890, I respectfully disagree with your opinion (Yes, I'm calling your comment opinion because "I heard" isn't a reliable source of information). I looked at the samples from...

@Thoughts R Us, @PhotoRotterdam, @nameless0ne

The other significant benefit of having a global shutter is that it will never suffer from banding because every pixel is read out simultaneously....

A perfect event lens that rivals Tamron 35-150 in terms of versatility, but adds IS, power zoom + tripod collar support and a dedicated aperture ring for an extra 200g weight and 50% higher price....

Maybe you should check the exif before making a comment on it? iPhone's ProRAW dng file of the close-up shot reports that it's only 12MP, most likely you didn't turn on the 48MP mode. Of course ...

@AndersSJ, it's interesting that you seem to be trying to ignore the fact that Leica has "rebranded" lenses from other manufactures, doubled the price and sold them as their own not just once but...

This is for FF, not for APS-C unlike your Sigma.

@Entropy512, how do you extract color profile metadata from a RAW file? What tool do I need to use?

Because sharpened photos look crisper therefore "better" on a small smartphone display. You can see that the 50MP photos have considerably less amount of sharpening baked in, and that's because...

The second photo you linked to is actually just 12.5MP (I checked the exif of the DNG file) but in JPEG it has been upscaled to 50MP, presumably because the photo was taken in 50MP mode and the...

As made evident by the ACR conversion of the 50MP RAW file from this phone's main camera, it's quite astounding that its small plastic lens, even though seemingly lacking a bit of microcontrast,...

Apple, Samsung, Google Xiaomi, BBK, Huawei/Honor, Sony etc all embed a depth map onto photos when you use Portrait Mode on their phones.

@Muus, if you don't want to use it, nobody is forcing you to do so.

When there are more lightweight alternatives to a certain lens that perform just as good optically, I always tell other people not to underestimate the potential effct of the weight of the lens on...

Since this lens will be used in handheld more often than not, and the weight not only affects your arm but also your wrists (which cannot be trained), I consider its 1.3kg of weight to be a...

Hi, I'm posting this comment again so that Richard can notice it and fix the article accordingly :)

Google's Dual Exposure (or "Dual Exposure Controls" which is how they call it), refers to the...

1345g for a 70-200mm F2.8 lens is just ridiculous. For comparison, Sony's 70-200mm F2.8 GM II is around 300g lighter, whereas Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 G2 weighs around 500g less. Hell, my Tamron...

I agree, right off the bat the first photo already shows some seriously disgusting skin tones of SOOC JPEG. The subject face looks greenish which is just... yikes. Indoor portraits exhibit a pink...

Olympus' 8-25mm F4 is more like 16-50mm F8 on FF, whereas this is 1mm narrower and its construction is larger but takes in as much as 4 times more light. A big difference I would say.

@Mr Bolton, I think you're confused here. iPhone 15 Pro Max has 3 prime lens cameras:
- A 48MP type 1/1.28 sensor with F1.8 24mm equiv. lens
- A 12MP type 1/3 sensor with F2.8 120mm equiv. lens
- A...
