Here's a surprise coming from a tiny sensor on a smartphone:
Google's Pixel 4 camera software/telephoto lens combo is capable of this. The DQ sign in the first image is NOT the one you immediately see. It's the much smaller sign with reader board under it way off in the distance. You have to look hard to see it.
First shot is standard, second is the 8x hybrid telephoto Google is touting this year, while the third is from a user who figured out how to combine it with super-res zoom to push it to 16x. That it's still a usable image is a shocker.
I don't know why Google wouldn't make it official rather than a workaround.
So with the iPhone photos being compared to a Nikon DSLR in a recent article a couple of professional photographers decided to pit one of Canon's very latest full-frame mirrorless models against the Pixel 4. Here's how it fared:
For anyone wondering whether it's even worth comparing the two see if you can tell the difference between the top and bottom photos here, and then whick camera took them. 1.
@DAalseth: While interesting For me the question is Moot. I dislike Apple so even if the iPhone were an order of magnitude better in every way I would not get one.
It works both ways.
