Halide-maker Lux reviews iPhone 16 Pro camera: ‘Tremendous’

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature a 48MP Fusion camera, a 48MP Ultra Wide camera, and the 5x Telephoto camera, now available on both models.
If you’ve read Halide-maker Lux’s reviews before, you know they do things differently. They’re not a quick take or a broad look at the iPhone. As a photographer, Sebastiaan de With focuses on reviewing the iPhone 16 Pro as if it were purely a camera. So he set off once more to go on a trip, taking tons of photos and videos, to see how it held up.
Sebastiaan de With for Lux:
‎

The most upgraded camera is the ultra-wide camera, now 48 megapixels, a 4x resolution improvement from last year. The ultra-wide shows impressive sharpness, even at this higher resolution…
One very compelling bonus of the 48 MP upgrade is that you get more than for the high-resolution shots. It does wonders for macro photography.
Since the iPhone 13 Pro, the ultra-wide camera on iPhone has had the smallest focus distance of any iPhone. This let you get ridiculously close to subjects.
iPhone 16 Pro, along with iPhone 15 Pro and 14 Pro, are all what I would call a ’seismic’ camera release for Pros: the kind that has such significant changes that you would not consider it an incremental move but one that makes it practically impossible to go back.
iPhone 14 Pro brought us a large, gorgeous 48MP main cameras.
iPhone 15 Pro ProRes Log.
And now, iPhone 16 Pro brings Zero Shutter Lag and Camera Control.
If you want a quick verdict: the iPhone 16 Pro is a tremendous camera because between Camera Control, Zero Shutter Lag and its advanced Photographic Styles, it will capture more moments than any iPhone ever did by a huge margin — and that in itself makes me recommend it over any previous one.
