Early morning sunlight on Mount Timpanogos


This particular image starts a series of images that I will take using my current iPhone 7 plus and eventually with its replacement the iPhone 8 plus.  The idea here is to demonstrate the versatility and quality of the high-end smartphone cameras particularly those in the iPhone. With the new iOS 11 operating system, both cameras have increased functionality and features. Here is a list of the iPhone 7 plus camera specifications:
  • 12MP wide-angle and telephoto cameras
  • Wide-angle: ƒ/1.8 aperture
  • Telephoto: ƒ/2.8 aperture
  • Optical zoom; digital zoom up to 10x
  • Portrait mode
  • Optical image stabilization
  • Six‑element lens
  • Quad-LED True Tone flash
  • Panorama (up to 63MP)
  • Sapphire crystal lens cover
  • Backside illumination sensor
  • Hybrid IR filter
  • Autofocus with Focus Pixels
  • Tap to focus with Focus Pixels
  • Live Photos with stabilization
  • Wide color capture for photos and Live Photos
  • Improved local tone mapping
  • Body and face detection
  • Exposure control
  • Noise reduction
  • Auto HDR for photos
  • Auto image stabilization
  • Burst mode
  • Timer mode
  • Photo geotagging
  • Image formats captured: HEIF and JPEG
I recently watched a video comparing the iPhone 7 plus to a Nikon digital SLR camera. The quality and features of the iPhone were equal to or exceeded most of the features of the much more expensive camera.
