Guest Posted September 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) So I have both and both have the same focal length, so this morning I took a picture of a water lily that is in my fish pond..............I shot the Q2 in Macro mode and shot the Huawei in Super Macro mode. Both were shot hand held...........looking at the two images I would say the P30 Pro handled the image better than the Q2, thats not to say if the Q2 was in someone else's hand it might have performed better but after a night on the piss the Huawei looks sharper to me.

Trev Posted September 29, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 29, 2019 Neil. You’re such a scamp.!! Everyone know the future of photography is smart phones innit.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Guy Posted September 29, 2019 Share #4 Posted September 29, 2019 A very interesting comparison. Thanks for starting this thread. I just purchased the iPhone 11Pro with the 3 lens camera system. It’s pretty amazing and it’s always with me. My experience so far is the 11Pro is a nice complement to my Q2. It takes great snapshots. I’m yet to test the low light performance. Smart phone manufacturers are being incredibly innovative and when you see the camera performance on the super sharp Retina display, it’s stunning. However, when I travel I will for sure take the 11Pro AND my Q2. I rely on the Q2 to enjoy the experience of photography. The IQ is superb and the camera excites me to capture beautiful images. My feelings about the two together is evolving. I can see a younger generation who has no need to print large or who just wants to post to social media would be very happy with just their smartphone. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gethyn Posted September 29, 2019 Share #6 Posted September 29, 2019 I am waiting for my iPhone 11 pro to compare with my Q2. However I have to say that I think the Q2 image looks better than the Huawei Pro image - more three dimensional. No question though that the phone cameras are really getting better. Nice comparison! Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about the iPhone 11 but due to the fact that my iPhone XR just kept hanging all the time, I decided to get away from the iPhone altogether and try the Huawei P30 P{ro instead...........up to now I am happy with my decision. I am like you, I love my Q2 and get a lot of enjoyment out of using it. Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted September 30, 2019 Share #11 Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Thanks so much for doing this really interesting experiment. I think the Hauwei has incredible IQ, but I don't personally agree with the comparison. I think it's noisier, lacks the same subtle tonal gradations that most Leica lenses, including the Q's summilux produces, and, therefore and most important for me, looks so much more digitized that it seems a product of computational photography--which it is. I agree that it is beautiful--in its own way. But it's not in the way that Leica used to render, and most times still does. I suspect if it it compared to one shot with an M 28 f/1.4 on the M10 (or even better, M9), the difference would be quite significant. But that's an entirely personal "gut" feeling.

Guest BlackBarn Posted September 30, 2019 Share #12 Posted September 30, 2019 I don’t own a Q2 and I agree the smartphone cameras are becoming quite serious ....at a price.... however the Q2 image is streets ahead in quality on these particular examples.

Also, can you please let us know about which bouquet are you talking about and what does your iPad pro has to do with comparing shots from a Q2 and a Huawei? Are you trying to say that you are using your iPad as a reference for your image editing? Have you colour calibrate it? Apologies if I ask many questions english is not my mother tongue you know..

Leica Guy Posted September 30, 2019 Share #18 Posted September 30, 2019 I can see big differences when I look closely at each image. Much more detail in the Q2 image. I don’t know if it’s a fair comparison though. Given limitations for size posting here, it’s not clear to me what we’re comparing. I’d prefer to see a similar crop then printed at full resolution say on an 8x10 paper then closely look at them. I’d want to know how they look at normal viewing distance then I’d get close and look at the detail. I suspect the Q2 will easily come out on top, but that we’re even comparing is a huge statement about how far smart phone cameras have advanced. We are all enjoying a “Golden Age” of photography technology right now. Think of the speed of innovation now in comparison to the decades to advance film, cameras and lenses.

jaapv Posted September 30, 2019 Share #20 Posted September 30, 2019 The Q2 image is far superior to the Huawei, both in detail rendering and tonal and contrast renditions. The rainbow shot only underscores this. I think part of it has to do with the iPad, which is too "poppy" and contrasty (translate: pleasing to the target buyer group) to give an optimal rendering. Notwithstanding, the Huawei is not bad at all. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
