Thanks! From what I already observed: the iPhone X footage looks terrible in low light whereas from a 77D looks relatively good. But I guess you can’t cheat physics - sensor size matters a lot in low light.

I don't have practical test with the 77D, but that may be very true. A bigger sensor generally means better night capabilitys, but there are some other factors as well.

<p>I own a Canon 77D DSLR and am just getting started with filmmaking. I have a variable ND filter etc. I wonder if this DSLR would produce better quality videos than my iPhone X (with FiLMiC pro)?</p>

<p>I know that 77D doesn't shoot in 4K whereas iPhone X does. But what about the quality of 1080p at 24fps?</p>

<p>iPhone X also seems to have some optical image stabilization. Is it better than Canon's electronical stabilizer for videos in Digic 7 chip?</p>

<p>I don't know much about codecs and stuff hence why I ask here.</p>

iPhone X or Canon 77D - which will produce better quality?
