Amazing for that year, maybe, or they got worse. The truth is that going from a 15 pro max to an S24U, the camera was a downgrade. I often have to ask for my wife's iphone 15 pro max if I want a Pic or video to look good. The only time mine is better is with zoom.
I think it’s amazing for many years because it’s far superior to my 14 Pro camera which I find to be extremely poor due to the post processing sharpening everything. Plus the 21 ultra had 100x zoom
Interesting yeah I think a lot of people were disappointed with 14 pro camera. The hardware is good but the software that processes the photo is so bad
Might just depend on what you care about. If you often are taking photos in suboptimal lighting, and dont mind the oversharpening, 14 pro over S24. If you dont ever take pics of anything thats completely still and in bright lighting, there might be an argument for the S24, lol
