[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Being a group of people that works with and enjoys the iPhone camera 7 days a week, you can imagine that we are really\u00a0excited every time a new generation is released. Yesterday we received a notification, saying that the new iPhone 6 S as well as the new iPhone 6 S Plus are on their way to our office: Yes!<\/p>\n

To share our first impressions with you,\u00a0we have created this blogpost. We will update the blogpost over the course of the day. So stay tuned or head back to it later.<\/p>\n

It’s iPhone 6 vs 6 S vs 6 Plus vs 6 S Plus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/em>The postman hasn’t shown up yet…<\/p>\n

Let’s use the waiting time to explain what we have planned for the next few hours:
\nOnce the parcel arrives, we will have a lineup of 4 devices: iPhone 6, 6 S, 6 Plus, 6 S Plus.
\nWe will take those around town to capture side-by-side comparison shots.
\nAll shots will be taken with ProCamera v9.0<\/strong>. Thanks to ProCamera’s Manual Mode,\u00a0we can ensure that all photos are taken with the exact same settings: Shutter Speed, ISO Value, Focus Position, and White Balance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, we don’t want to make lab tests with scientific color palettes and lots of little lines. We want to get first hand impressions of real-life photo scenes. To\u00a0eliminate the human factor as much as possible, we will mount the devices onto a tripod<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All files are saved in lossless TIFF file format<\/strong>. You can click on the comparison shots in the blogpost, to see larger versions of the file.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]12:06\u00a0PM
\n<\/strong><\/em>The door bell rings. It’s the postman!\u00a0We know what’s in those boxes!!<\/p>\n

Now we will quickly set up the 2 new devices and then go\u00a0out on the streets.[\/vc_column_text]

\n<\/strong><\/em>Here we go with a first comparison. All 4 shots lined up plus magnification. The 100% magnification screen differs because of the new megapixel count (jump from 8 to 12 megapixels).
\nAs these are scaled jpeg files, we will\u00a0share our original TIFF files:\u00a0Comparison Shots Archive (lossless TIFF)<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we are on our way to get some more photos…[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_single_image image=”38903″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.procamera-app.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Testphoto1_iPhone6-6S-6Plus-6SPlus_Collage_1722x10241.jpg”]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]6:21 PM
\n<\/strong><\/em>Time flew with the new devices.\u00a0Superior build quality as usual and the new 3D touch looks promising. Let’s see what our developers can do with that in the future…<\/p>\n

Looking at the quality of individual photographs, we have to say there is a difference, but it’s not a giant leap. Of course we will continue to test and compare the results in the next days and weeks. We don’t want to base our judgment on just a few photos. Feel free to\u00a0post a comment, in case you already had the chance to test the new devices yourself.<\/p>\n

Here we have another photo example from today’s photo walk. The magnification shows finer details\u00a0in the photos made with the new generation iPhones. In case you want to blow up your photos, for example for larger prints, or you like to crop your images afterwards, those extra megapixels leave a valuable margin for you. The magnification level in the detail area is way more than 100% to illustrate the differences.<\/p>\n

Another thing we noticed is the handling of color. We used ProCamera’s manual white balance, to see if we get nearly identical results (color-wise). In our first test we detected clear differences, but auto white balance was really good at producing\u00a0true-to-life\u00a0color levels.
\nA major factor for the differences we saw while shooting,\u00a0are the screens of the devices, which\u00a0render color differently. However, when viewed on the same device\/same screen, there are still litte differences.\u00a0You’ll notice it when looking at the street sign in the following photo.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]7:38\u00a0PM
\n<\/strong><\/em>Now\u00a0we have to say goodbye to 2 of our new devices. We are sending those\u00a0to our technology partner Ittiam Systems in India,\u00a0where they will be meticulously analyzed. These camera profiles (camera response curve) allow us to\u00a0provide the best HDR processing on all supported devices. As each generation is slightly different, vividHDR needs to be adjusted to those sensor characteristics. If you already have one of the brand new devices, you will soon get those optimizations for vividHDR in our next free update. Thanks for your patience.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

\n<\/strong><\/em>Now it’s time to call it a day. It was a fun day with the new devices and we will definitely play around with them over the course of the weekend. Thanks to those of you, who have accompanied us on this day.
\nAnd for those of you, who don’t have a new iPhone (yet), don’t worry: It’s the person behind the camera, that\u00a0creates those beautiful photographs. With a little photo 101, individual creativity and ProCamera, you have everything you need. Get out and shoot \u2013 and in case it’s rainy where you are at, we have uploaded\u00a0an updated ProCamera manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a nice weekend.[\/vc_column_text]

\n<\/strong><\/em>As might be expected, we took some more photos over the weekend. The following photo compares the camera of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 S. The new 6 S shows finer detail in the spire of the water tower. It’s more obvious when magnifying the image via click.[\/vc_column_text]
