iPhone 16 Pro

If you’re planning to buy a phone mainly for content shooting or videography, iPhone 16 Pro is definitely one you should keep on your choice list.
I’ve been using the iPhone 16 Pro for the past year, and my experience with both photo and video shooting has been excellent.

Travel Video Shot with 16 Pro:

Germany Travel Vlog

What I liked:

• The ultra-wide camera now has a 48MP sensor, which gives noticeably more detailed photo output at this focal length compared to previous models

• 4K 60fps is available on all cameras, and the overall video quality is very good

•  Even at 4K 120fps, the quality doesn’t drop much

• In daylight, stabilization is smooth, and handheld shots remain steady

• The telephoto camera produces sharp and usable video outdoors in daylight

• Very little artificial sharpening in videos—the output feels close to footage from a dedicated camera

• Full HD high frame rate (240fps) is available and maintains good quality

• ProRes video recording is supported, which is extremely useful for serious shoots

• You can shoot in Log profile, allowing more flexibility for color grading in post
   

What I didn’t like:

• There’s still no fully manual pro video mode built in (though this can be achieved using third-party apps)

• In low light, the ultra-wide camera shows noticeable noise

• Nighttime stabilization is average

• At night, the main camera produces light reflections, which can be a bit distracting

• Battery life could have been better

• The telephoto camera is 5x, but personally I preferred the 3x focal length from previous models

• Indoors, the 5x telephoto isn’t very practical (mainly due to the 12MP sensor)

• 4K 60fps in H.264 format is not available

• The AI photo editor isn’t very impressive

• Transferring video files to a Windows PC is still somewhat inconvenient (requires third-party software)
   

Overall, my experience shooting video with the iPhone 16 Pro has been very positive. For anyone who wants to create serious video content using a smartphone, this is a reliable and consistent performer. Whether it’s travel vlogs, outdoor shoots, or reels—it has felt like a solid device in every scenario. Recommended from my side.

Model: iPhone 16 Pro
Price: Expensive if bought new, but a good-condition pre-owned unit can be found for around 90k-99k BDT.
