Here are my thoughts on the iPhone X for reef photo and video + a comparison w/ iPhone 6

The camera is pretty sweet; the optical zoom is solid permitting some nice closeups of your corals. White balance is really good (assuming light is around 12k or less). Pictures and videos are sharp. Here is a link to a video review along with a few sample shots (taken with radions set to 12k, phone set to auto and no post processing).

I am pleased!

Excellent pictures! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Miyagi Tort before. Definitely have heard of it, but never seen one.

Pretty impressive for phone pics! I was hoping I would be able to get better shots when I upgraded from a note 5 to the note 8, but I really think the 5 took better pics and I definitely can't get as close with the 8. You almost make me want an iPhone, the only thing stopping me is the fact that it's an iPhone lol:p
