Photographer shoots same pics with iPhone 11 camera and pro DSLR, compares results

As you’re no doubt aware, the new iPhone 11 is out and it’s got a whole new whizz-bang camera set-up. We’re not techies, so we don’t really know the ins and outs of it, but you’re bound to have an Apple devotee in your life who can talk about it for hours and hours on end. Of course, if you don’t want to be subjected to that, there’s an alternative: the wedding photographers who’ve knocked up a pretty s**t-hot comparison for you. Check it out below…

Rightio, the photographers in question are Jamie and Lauren Eichar.

For the last seven years, they’ve been shooting weddings professionally, and by all accounts, they’re pretty good at it.

In the past, they’ve relied pretty heavily on their trusty Canon 5D Mark IV, but at a recent wedding, they decided to experiment with the new iPhone and get a gauge for just how good it is.

The video’s down below and it’s bloody packed with comparative images for you to have a squiz at.

Talking about where the idea comes from, Jamie says, “We started pulling out our phones for a few extra portrait images on wedding days and engagement shoots as a way to send the couple teaser images as they wait to get all of their photos back.
Once portrait mode became a thing, we’ve wanted to make this video to show off what the iPhone is capable of. Not until the iPhone 11 came out, did it actually feel like the quality was this good that we could fool people to think that it’s from our professional DSLR.”

He reckons it’s pretty bloody hard to argue with the convenience of the phone too. “A phone in your pocket is a camera in your pocket and we love that we always have that on us,” Jamie said. “It’s easy to mess around with it in whatever setting we’re in everyday life… playing with our nieces and nephew, going on a hike, or traveling we’ve got an impressive little camera right with us.”

So there you have it. The iPhone camera is apparently pretty good.

Final thought: As we said, we’re not bloody experts. We reckon this ought to get a bit of debate going though. We know plenty of you will already be singing the praises of the iPhone 11 while plenty more will be bagging it. Have a look at these photos and let us know what you reckon in the Facebook comments.
