Guess which one is using iphone 17 pro max and which one is using a 2016 Sony RX100V? No edits on computer.
The lower pic is iphone 17 Pro Max because of backend smartphone computational processing, while the RX100V is really waiting for user to do post processing.
In good lightings and relatively static scenes and viewed on tiny fraction of a smartphone screen, I dun think it is easy to tell apart. You cannot tell apart 8k reasolution vs 2k resolution on a comparatively tiny smartphone screen.
But under poor lightings / need for tracking / high shutter speeds the difference is more glaring
In this example I purposely chose a dark scene with fast moving subject to stress the phone.

Full Frame mirrorless, this photo was actually taken after the smartphone shot.
