Too many variables to be really sure...
Jun 28, 2020,21:23 PM
...it's like on the video forums where posters show YouTube comparisons of televisions shot with a camera, uploaded, compressed, sent over wifi, displayed on who-knows-what uncalibrated computer screen. Kind of funny really.
But I will play along. I originally thought that the building was the camera phone and the gardener was the camera for the sole reason that the mountain and grass had more contrast and 'popped' more.
But then (and here's a hint) I opened both photos in a new tab and viewed them at 100%. It seems to me that the grass, light globe, hat, etc. in the second photo is very compressed like my old iPhone used to look. The building isn't razor sharp but everything in the scene is more evenly sharp.
So I am going with building as camera and mountain/ocean/gardener as phone.
Do I win a prize?

Quality comparison.
By: fernando : June 28th, 2020-19:16
Trying to ascertain whether photos posted here show obvious differences in quality. One of these two photos was shot with a fairly old camera phone with a resolution of 12 MP and the other with a Leica M10 / 50 Summicron APO with 24MP. Is the difference o...

could hardly discern the two. I just don't have the eyes for this. I stared hard at my MacBook Air (Gen1) screen at both photographs. It would help if both photos are taken at the same spot/time. Same subject matter helps However, after going to and fro f...

Compression on loading is the second factor. I am with Echi on [not] picking one over the other... It's a challenge since the subject matter is so different... and I don't say which one is the better image. So with some hesitation and just for fun I pick ...

The fist one looks like the Leica image to me

I base this on the color rendering and Clean depth of field in the first image. The wider open the shot the easier it is to tell and neither of these a shot wide open.

Thank you for all the replies!

Yes, I admit it's not a fair comparison as ideally it would be a side by side image under exacting conditions. However, I didn't set out to do a comparison test and just randomly chose two photos to see whether the difference is obvious once it is posted....
LOL! [nt]
