M8 camera vs 5s
|
As HTC's latest flagship product this year, the M8 has a high-quality metal body that accounts for 90% of its surface area. Its biggest selling point is the "Duo Cam" 3D depth-of-field dual camera: it not only has two lenses, but is also equipped with dual LED flashes. The Duo Cam structure is not complicated, with one main camera and one secondary camera. The main camera is still the 4-megapixel UltraPixel on last year's HTC One, and the hardware specifications have basically remained unchanged; the secondary camera is an auxiliary depth-of-field camera, and its main function is to store depth-of-field data, so that the photos taken by the HTC M8 can achieve many post-production effects, which have been explained in great detail in our previous articles. Since the HTC M8's camera looks very good, what is the actual photo-taking effect? To see if it is a mule or a horse, foreign media iMore has found a player whose comprehensive strength is recognized as very strong to compare with it - Apple's flagship product last year, the iPhone 5s. From previous reviews, the iPhone 5s's photo-taking ability is very balanced. It may not be as good as its competitors in one aspect, but it is very powerful overall, even though its main camera is only 8 megapixels. Before the showdown, let's review the camera parameters of the two phones: HTC One M8 is equipped with 4 million pixels UltraPixel (1520 x2688) and f/2.0 aperture. Don't underestimate these 4 million, because the pixel size of the UltraPixel sensor is larger than the standard pixel size. The standard pixel size is 1.1µm, while the pixel size of UltraPixel reaches 2µm, which is almost twice the standard size. Even though the UltraPixe camera has low pixels, due to the large pixel size, almost every pixel can be fully utilized. In addition, the photosensitivity of the UltraPixel camera is 300% higher than that of the standard mobile phone camera, that is, it has 3 times the amount of light entering, so low-light shooting is stronger. In addition, the HTC One M8 has added a depth of field camera and is equipped with a dual LED flash. The iPhone 5s uses a standard 8-megapixel iSight camera (2448x3264) and f/2.2 aperture, equipped with True Tone flash (one white, one yellow), and a pixel size of 1.5µm. Both the aperture and pixel size are smaller than those of the HTC M8. But Apple's advantage lies in the fact that its ISP (image processor) is completely designed by itself, as well as its very deep software optimization skills. To be fair, both phones were restored to their default factory settings, and the camera mode was completely in Auto mode. The iPhone 5s runs iOS 7.1 with Auto HDR enabled; the HTC One M8 runs 4.4.2 and HTC Sense 6.0. The comparison items are: daily photography (iPhone 5s wins), motion capture (iPhone 5s wins), low-light shooting (tie), flash shooting (iPhone 5s wins), HDR photos (iPhone 5s wins), macro shooting (tie), digital zoom (iPhone 5s wins), panorama (tie), depth of field (HTC One M8 wins). Are the results a bit surprising? Although HTC One M8 seems to be stronger in hardware parameters, iPhone 5s is an overwhelming winner in most items except depth of field, low light and panoramic performance. I thought HTC One M8 was obviously better in low light performance, but the actual sample photos are really not much different. In daily shooting, iPhone 5s has better white balance and color reproduction. It is not difficult to see that no matter how good the paper parameters of a product are, its performance still depends on actual testing. In this regard, Apple has always done very well. The balanced performance of iPhone 5s is mainly due to Apple's independently designed ISP and excellent software and hardware optimization capabilities.
