iPhone 8 does it have a better camera than iPhone 7? The question is a very pertinent one because in Tuesday's conference the Apple company did not really explain the differences properly. More precisely, the Apple company said that the iPhone 8 comes with a new, evolved camera, blah blah, but in reality the technical specifications say that we are talking about exactly the same hardware for the camera as in the new phone compared to the iPhone 7.
The iPhone 8 has a 12-megapixel camera, which still has an aperture of f/1.8, lower than that offered by the camera in Samsung Galaxy Note 8, e.g. The iPhone 8 still has an optical image stabilizer, like the iPhone 7, and it still offers a digital zoom of up to 5X for photos, but nothing is mentioned about video in these conditions, although an explanation would have been very important here.
iPhone 8 continues to have a Quad-LED True Tone Flash, but this time with Slow Sync for better photo lighting, but the news is not major. The iPhone 8 can record 4K video clips at 60 FPS and 1080p at 240 FPS, compared to the iPhone 7, but for the main camera, this is where the news stops on the specifications side, at least in what the Apple company lists for its two mobile phones.
Does the iPhone 8 have a better camera than the iPhone 7?
iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X they are a disappointment for me regarding the camera, if in reality it will be shown that the lack of a larger aperture does not improve the pictures. This means that the photos will not be much better in many situations, but Apple claims that the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X have a new image processor, which increases the brightness by up to 80% and improves the quality of the photos .
The iPhone 8, according to Apple, has a faster image sensor with a new color filter and "deeper" pixels, but a new image processor is also on offer. The technical specifications say that nothing has changed in the iPhone 8 compared to the iPhone 7, Apple says something else, so I have a vague suspicion that that new image processor will do through software what the Apple company had to offer through hardware.
"iPhone 8 features a more advanced 12MP camera. With a larger, faster sensor. A new color filter. Deeper pixels. And optical image stabilization for photos and videos.”
iPhone 8 could take pictures as "good" as iPhone 7 with the new camera, and I expect the same from iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, and even if there will be differences compared to iPhone 7, I expect them to be small . Finally, for the front camera there is absolutely no improvement compared to the iPhone 7, because we are talking about the same 7 megapixel camera with f/2.2 opening in the iPhone 8, without the ability to take selfies with the new Portrait function.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to say anything about this new camera in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, but for now Apple is saying something on one side and something else on the other.
