Serious Danger to Sony, Nikon, & Canon - iPhone 12 Pro Max vs Mirrorless City Nightscape Photography

Key takeaways

  • 47% bigger sensor than the iPhone 12 Pro. Tested against my Nikon Z7.
  • Brighter main lens. f/1.6 instead of f/1.8 for low light (from 2:00).
  • Longer telephoto. f/2.2 with slightly better zoom (from 2:00).
  • Smart HDR 3. Machine learning stops over- and underexposure (from 3:00).
  • Video and ProRAW. Dolby Vision HDR up to 60fps, sensor-shift stabilization, and ProRAW (from 3:00).

My first piece of photography equipment this year is an Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, with a 47% bigger sensor size than the iPhone 12 Pro. I instantly took it to the test against my Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera, and boy am I surprised!
