iPhone 15 Pro Cinema Mode is a LITTLE better than before, but is it good enough to go up against a mirrorless camera?
This video compares iPhone 15 Pro to a Pro Camera, the Sony a7siii.
I go through several examples comparing the shadow depth of field of a mirrorless camera to the new iPhone 15 in cinema mode. Of course the iPhone is just faking it, but it does a pretty convincing job now! It does well enough that I would argue talking head youtube channels could get away with just using this phone, as long as you've got good enough lighting conditions.
Unfortunately, iPhone 15 Pro doesnt let you use the 3x lens in cinema mode, and thats kind of a bummer. Even using the 2x from the main lens causes the effect to start to fall apart, especially when compared directly to a sony camera.
But in general - I think it's ready!
