Just tried a test shot . With the 11 in portrait mode you find funny artefacts between the sharp and the blurred edges. Seems to have been cured with the 12. untitled (1 of 1)-Edit-4 by Brian Tompkins, on Flickr
You can still tell it's software rather than glass, but it's perfectly useable and it gets better every time.
The IQ is ridiculous It really does spell the end for compact cameras. Besides sport or macro using flash I see no justification in carrying a camera personally. Absolutely incredible
As good as they are I see artefacts everywhere. in areas of the face with low detail it seems to give up, and and just provide a smudge. It sharpens anything where it is both sharp and with hard edged detail, there seems to be a detail threshold beyond which it just gives up trying. The stark differential between the two, make the smudges stand out to my eyes.
Yeh you can tell it’s artificial blur etc, but I’ve just got the pro max and for a phone, it’s bonkers. Now shoots in apple pro raw dng files which should be better still. Sensor shift stabilisation on a phone. Larger sensor size too. I’d still always have my oly over it, but for when I don’t have that, or when the light is really low, the iPhone is amazing.
