Compare, we are, of Big Weed’s new iPhone SE vs my 2009 Sony DSC-H2, shooting in the same light, location, time, date and subject: Zoodles in Meat Ball Pasta Sauce.

Yesterday I had cooked beef meat balls in a tomato pasta sauce. Today I spiralized zucchini into pasta, hence the zoodles shootout. Making zoodles literally takes seconds and you need not cook them. BTW both of us thought the uncooked zoodles and pasta sauce, heated in the microwave for 50 seconds, were a great wheat noodle substitute.

But back to the shootout. The scene was lit with a single overhead 18w compact fluorescent. There is a window 4′ away. Big Weed was leaning on a chair with her iPhone SE and I was sitting on a chair stabilizing a monopod. Neither flash was used.

In my view the 2009 Sony DSC-H2 takes brighter and slightly sharper photos than the iPhone SE. That being said the iPhone is a phone, is substantially smaller and much more convenient.
