2014 Toyota Camry - A Miracle Detailing - CQuartz Professional

Washed, decontaminated, polished and coated with 2 coats of CQuartz Professional

I finally bumped up the camera from an iPhone 6 to a 24 megapixel D5600.
I still did the walk-around movie with the iPhone 6.

Can you tell a difference in the picture quality?
Note: the original file size was 14 MB reduced down to 100+k


Thanks for looking...

Just like all your work I have seen...........Beautiful

Looks great! Gloss like a mirror. Image quality looks good even with the compression.

I notice in image #1, there seems to be a slight loss in gloss on the front end where the PPF is installed. Are you finding that to be the case for most cars with PPF?

Thank you!!! I reduce the image size to approx 100k so it does not take 4 days to load.
I have found that 1024 Pixel width is about the best size width for a forum pic posting.

I believe I see a difference in truer colors and sharpness although the size is reduced.
I started shooting in RAW (I may still with a "photo shoot") but it's not quick and easy.
For now, I switched to FINE JPEG. although compressed it still looks better in postings.

If nothing else...the lens is better than the tiny "pencil eraser" sized iPhone lens.

The iPhone camera is not the primary function of a smartphone.
So IMHO the DSLR is a big step up from a smartphone camera!

...Now on to purchase that stupid expensive Nikkor macro lens.
I want to get those stupid close up magnified pictures of swirls!

Yes, I have found that to be the case with (almost) all brands of PPF.
PPF is a plastic. Plastics yellow and will fog with time.
The front PPF bra on this car is about five years old.
Sometimes PPF will polish and the PPF will look better (for a while).

I think of it like those foggy plastic headlight covers.
When they were made of glass they did not yellow.

Yes, I am sure you will see a great improvement on image quality with the DSLR. And shooting in RAW for "photo shoot" shots will give you greater leverage in post processing to bring out details, especially in the shadow/dark areas of the image.
Lenses can be expensive but there is no substitute for good glass!
