> Just to be clear, your authoritative site shows the iPhone (the last generation) being less noisy than many SLRs.

Charitably, you are confused, and uncharitably you are lying or misleading.

I gave you a simple prompt where you could prove yourself right with a single camera model, and unsurprisingly you’ve failed to take advantage of it.

> And even if they didn't, noise scales with the sensor size.

These noise sources are completely dwarfed by poisson/shot noise (which is the completely overwhelming noise source on most modern SLRs for “everyday” photographs).

The iPhone’s FETs hold a lot fewer electrons. There is no way around this. And then with technology like Dr-pix present in modern Sony sensors (including the ones they sell to Fuji), the gap gets even wider.

"I gave you a simple prompt"

Is that a command? Am I your monkey? I humored your site, noted that it didn't confirm your claims (again -- you didn't link this proof about noise, and when I used your site to demonstrate that you were incorrect...you segued to DR where you could enjoy that this site has a single obsolete smartphone).

Curious that you decided to get the last word in again. Your own proof is flawed.

But again, you claimed that every SLR in the past 4 years is "vastly" better. "Not even in the same ballpark". Your net evidence so far is that a $5000 camera body, which is known to have a class leading sensor, has better dynamic range than a two year old iPhone. "Hahahahaha".

Stop seething and name one SLR made in the last 4 years by Nikon, canon, Sony, Fuji, etc. with worse noise stats than the iPhone.
