The thesis presents an experimental comparison of the quality of photos taken with the Xiaomi Note 14 Pro+ smartphone and the Canon 1D X Mark III digital SLR camera. The purpose of the thesis is to evaluate the influence of various technical parameters, such as sensor size, resolution, ISO sensitivity, and post-processing, on the quality of photos.
In the practical part, shots were taken at different ISO values, both during the day and at night, and noise measurements were performed using standard deviation in Photoshop. A comparison was made of depth of field, differences between unprocessed RAW shots and automatically processed shots with the Digic X processor, and the effectiveness of various noise reduction algorithms, including Luminance and AI Denoise in Adobe Camera RAW.
The results showed that a DSLR camera with a large sensor and RAW capture provides the highest image quality and the greatest control over details, depth of field, and colors. A smartphone with high resolution and advanced image processing algorithms can achieve comparable image clarity at high ISO values, but produces somewhat artificial and unnatural results. The use of different noise reduction algorithms represents a trade-off between image clarity and preserved detail.
The work demonstrates the advantages of a professional camera in precise control and processing of photos, while also showing how modern smartphones with fast image processing algorithms can meet the visual and practical needs of capturing photos in various lighting conditions.
