However, apart from the focus being a bit off. The DSLR shot is better. It has a much more pleasing background (shallower DOF) and the white balance is more accurate.

Probably you missed the focus slightly. You can boost contrast a bit on the DSLR shot to narrow the gap more in terms of looks. You also perhaps could add a bit of sharpening.



I was thinking the same

The Canon shot has a much shallower depth of field due to the focal length being used. It's much longer than that of the iPhone shot check  techchatter.ph . The Canon shot may be slightly over exposed; hard to say. The iPhone photo is a but underexposed.

Does the Canon have different settings for jpg conversion?

The time of day is unfortunate. Harsh, overhead light is never a preferred environment.

Please provide more detail about your assessment of these images.

what is the difference anymore? Unless you really look at the details there isn't any. also, with a lot of final images and even videos being color graded and filtered it is even harder to tell. Is the iphone the future of photography and videography? even for video taking, attaching a stable tripod, and given the strong autofocus and not having to deal with all of the techniques that goes with a dslr like setting up manual mode, and playing around with aperture, iso, etc makes iphone the game winner, no? You can get much of the same images that a dslr mirrorless or full frame can get. Maybe the only downside is low light?
