I think like a consumer and a photographer since U can identify with both. On a 21 inch screen the difference is there already and the average monitor size is still increasing, even for the average...

Oranges have always been instigators. Ask the bananas.

I'm not missing any point here, since a good deal of people still enjoys seeing pictures on something larger than a tiny cellphone camera screen. And that won't change any time soon.

On a high resolution screen, even in daylight shots the iPhone 7 smudges low contrast detail (grass, earth tones) into a paintery effect. A decent DSLR has benefits there too. Shooting RAW on the...

Depends. The S7 still has a more efficient module in low light (up to a stop difference) thanks to a larger sensor and slightly larger aperture. RAW in low light beats the iPhone 7. Just like the...

Yes, thanks Richard for clarifying your comments. I'm aware of the native limitations of jpegs, but the optional in camera tone curves that allow to compress large dynamic range scenes into single...

Does the quoted 8.3EV for jpegs include the maximum use of ALO (in other words, is that the input DR or output DR)? Because that basically lifts shadows too to compress a larger DR from the scene...

It's called calibration. There are so many calibrated screens for sale, that this has become an absolute non-issue.

Exactly. You'll get something similar to the Pentax K-01, but then with a bump on top to fit the electronic viewfinder (provided you want one). At which point you're back at the size of a DSLR.

My initial post earlier in this thread that first mentioned the Exif reports and suggested 1.33x zoom, thus the rest being digital to achieve 2x zoom, appears to be confirmed by OnePlus. Dutch tech...

Correct. If the Exif doesn't fool us, Oneplus is trying to with their 2x " optical" zoom claims.

Irfanview reports both modules to have a real focal length of 4.1mm but with different crop factors resulting in 24mm equivalent and 32mm equivalent respectively. If that is correct (a big "if" ),...

It appears that these cameras are sampling multiple frames to achieve better image quality, similar to the Pixel, S8, U11 and the iPhone 7 IIRC. But based on these samples it also does a worse job...

The figures combined with the aperture difference, account for a total difference that you find between FF and APS-C of the same generation/efficiency. For many that is a much more than marginal...

While OOC jpegs are always faster to share, you don't have to edit RAW files manually, you CAN. You can set up your own profile and batch process them too, which would be a few mins for the whole...

Up to a stop difference in S/N (*:iPhone 7 vs S7, the S8 appears to increase this gap with constant stacking) for the sensor, isn't that marginal when the largest limiting factor for these small...

Like I said, the fact that there are now (more) tele choices added that fulfill a (different but functional) role on both formats, doesn't mean that there are no glaring holes left. There are, such...

@ flyindoc

Obviously, the same lens fulfills different purposes on differently sized formats, since the real focal length of a 70-200mm lens doesn't change. But a 70-200 is functional and in...

"But those lens designs are for FF not aps-c sensors. They need lenses designed for the sensor size."

This has been said too many times already, but for lenses around 75mm or longer, there is no...

Actually, they already announced that september 8th 2015.
