12 Pro Max Camera Vs 14 Pro Max
Apple has recently launched its new line up of iPhones and as always, people are really excited to get their hands on them. With the release of the 12 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max, many are wondering which one they should get. Of course, one of the major factors to consider is the camera. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at the cameras of both the 12 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max and see which one is better.
Camera Specs
Before we dive into the comparison, let's take a look at the camera specs of both phones.
- 12 Pro Max: Triple 12MP camera system: Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras
- 14 Pro Max: Quad 12MP camera system: Ultra Wide, Wide, Telephoto, and LiDAR Scanner cameras
From the specs, we can see that the 14 Pro Max has an extra camera, the LiDAR Scanner, which is not available in the 12 Pro Max. This extra camera is expected to give the 14 Pro Max an edge over the 12 Pro Max in terms of camera performance.
Low-Light Performance
One of the major aspects of camera performance that people look into is how well it performs in low-light situations. Both the 12 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max have night mode, but the 14 Pro Max has taken it up a notch with the LiDAR Scanner camera. This additional camera helps the phone to focus faster and more accurately in low-light conditions.
The LiDAR Scanner camera also helps in capturing better portraits in low light. The 14 Pro Max's camera is able to distinguish the subject from the background even in dimly lit situations. This results in better portraits that have more details and less noise.
Zoom Performance
Another aspect of camera performance that people look into is how well the camera performs when zoomed in. The 12 Pro Max has a 2.5x optical zoom, while the 14 Pro Max has a 2x optical zoom. However, the 14 Pro Max's LiDAR Scanner camera helps the phone to better determine the distance to an object when zoomed in. This results in better zoomed-in shots with more accurate depth of field and less noise.
Other Features
Aside from the camera specs and performance, there are other features that the 14 Pro Max has that the 12 Pro Max doesn't. One of these features is ProRAW, which allows photographers to capture RAW images with all of the benefits of Apple's computational photography. This feature is not available in the 12 Pro Max.
The 14 Pro Max also has better video capabilities, with the ability to shoot ProRes video in 4K resolution. This is not available in the 12 Pro Max.
Conclusion
After going through the camera specs and performance of both phones, it's clear that the 14 Pro Max has a better camera system than the 12 Pro Max. With the extra camera and LiDAR Scanner, the 14 Pro Max is able to perform better in low-light situations and when zoomed in. It also has additional features that photographers and videographers will appreciate.
However, it's important to note that the 14 Pro Max is also more expensive than the 12 Pro Max. So, if you're on a tight budget, the 12 Pro Max is still a great option with a good camera system.
