iPhone 6S vs Nikon D800

Thanks for this comparison. It surprised me how good the 6s shots are for a phone. When my LX100 was stolen I was tempted to stick with my phone for those moments I did not want to take my EM1 out with me. The phone lost and I got another LX100. However, its still in its box! Phone cameras have certainly improved.

They're not that great on a normal monitor full size, and when imported into LR though.

I think you're missing the point;



The largest majority of iPhone images are taken by people who really aren't bothered about pixel peeping at 100% or wishing they'd shot in Raw, hence the point of this initial thread. In the same vain, a D800 is useless at browsing Sky News while you're editing your shots ;0)

So the point is, they are completely different and nothing alike at all? ok ...

No, the point is that when using both an iphone 6S and D800 as a point and shoot device for shooting and viewing digitally/uploading to image sharing sites like Facebook there's not a huge difference in what they deliver. That's not to say that the D800 will obviously be considerably better at everything everyone's already said (low light, shallow DOF, shooting RAW, blowing up to a poster etc) but equally an Iphone will always be in your pocket and can actually shoot and upload direct.

My point was that the largest majority of people shooting images on iPhones really couldn't care less about RAW images, printing images or editing in Lightroom.
