It happened with the new iPhone 6s. Internet commentators have raised controversy about whether the smartphone exceeds Apple quality shooting machine competition, matrices which have a resolution much higher than that of the iPhone.
The experts decided to test how well the iPhone 6s will perform when compared with Sony Xperia Z5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The device from Apple was the first since 2011, which increased the number of resolution – from 8 to 12 megapixels. Sony Xperia Z5 has a 23 MP camera c the “fastest focusing in its class” 0.03 seconds. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 camera with a resolution of 16 megapixels (1/2,6 inches).

iPhone 6s makes the photo more warm than in real life, which negatively affects the overall color, but almost perfectly working auto mode in all conditions is the reason why many users like camera Apple smartphones, said the journalists.
Korean phablet made experts a good impression. The image processing algorithms in certain conditions, overestimate the sharpness of photos in the corners, but otherwise this is one of the best cameras in the smartphone market, signed a resource.
Sony has shown itself to be the worst in low light, it has problems with contrast scenes and in cases where the photo needs to cover a wide range. But in terms of perfect lighting Z5 will make great shots.
The experiment confirmed that the number of megapixels is not the decisive factor in the quality of photos that clearly shows the direct comparison of 23-megapixel Xperia Z5 and iPhone 6s with a 12 megapixel camera.
