But with me being a man of the world I understand where your coming from. Neil Well.. you still didn't post your dng's though... I think you haven understand yet my request and the whole point of my comment! I did not PRAISE the quality of your webpage (just referred to the advanced purchasing facility). Editing photos on an uncalibrated iPad is not optimal especially if you intend to print your photos! The colour profiles on these devices are misleading.. If you are happy with your phone then that's fine... By the way have you realised that the photos you posted are flipped on the vertical axis?

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. Of course it is Jaspv.........were talking on the Leica forum. On the Huawei forum they prefer the Huawei picture........ Go figure. As for the rainbow it was taken on the move as there was a horendious Storm coming in and my beer was getting warm. Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the context you are using your photography equipment, I am pretty sure that your phone (or any phone) can take pretty good shots...

Viv Posted September 30, 2019 Share #30 Posted September 30, 2019 I prefer the image from the Q2. I like to make large prints. A tiny sensor is not up to that task. As for me, I want an APS-C sensor camera that I can use to call my friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlackBarn Posted September 30, 2019 Share #31 Posted September 30, 2019 Hi Neil, You asked me to explain my comment. Sorry for my late reply....time difference...I live in New Zealand. I appreciate your post, it raises a very interesting subject regarding the advance of the photographic capability within smartphone technology. However regarding why I see the Q2 streets ahead. I use my Leica as a sketch book as I am an artist and use photos as a guide for my paintings and drawings. What is important to me is capturing the subtlety of changes of light from dark to light, the transitions of one colour to another and the quality of the rendering of hard and soft edges. Normally I compare my photos with the actual subject but here it was between your two photos. In fact I see the difference so major that although my pocket would be crying out to purchase the smartphone, I would have no choice but to purchase the Q2 to do the job if these were my only choices. It’s not a smartphone vs camera thing but a photo vs photo comment. The problem I have is when I look through the photos presented from the various post on this forum I really can’t tell the difference between the Leica cameras being used and wonder is there something I am missing. From that perspective I also wonder why Leica just don’t produce one camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giampo Posted September 30, 2019 Share #33 Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Phones can take incredibles good photos this day. But talking only about the quality of the files there is still a huge gap between a camera and a phone. They are simply not comparable in my opinion; or they are only on a phone or a notepad screen at low resolution, out of that it’s simply a no match.

Its day and night. But those who aren't serious photographers, but look at photographs for other reasons than the esoteric criteria complained of here, might very well appreciate the Huawei on the same level as the Q2. If you only take photos for appreciation by serious photographers (I try hard not to be one) then of course you won't be satisfied with a smartphone. No surprises here.
