First encounter with the new iPhone 16 Pro Max, and quick comparison with my previous iPhone, the 12 Pro Max. Details of the recording and editing data in video.
Internal video recording on both iPhones.
Video file transfer using the new Apple Thunderbolt 5 cable failed for 2 files from 26 total (using a 2021 Macbook Pro M1Max). Starting all over, again FCP refused importing those 2 files. Airdrop transfer was no problem.
Also no problem importing those 2 files in FCP with a Caldigit Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable (0.5 m).
Conclusion : great quality with standard 1x lens on new iPhone. Low light recording with 5x tele lens not so great…

The unique 1935 sound film of the Amsterdam’s Great Synagogue Choir (1,2,3) was made by the popular Polygoon journalist Jo Levi.
Wondering who Jo Levi was , I searched online, and found this picture below (20241107_1) with Jo Levi. Jo Levi is the second man from the left in this postwar photo of Polygoon men, posted by former Polygoon editor Fredo Krooshof at Cinecentrum Hilversum (4).

Jo Levi together with Philip Bloemendal directed the Dutch cinema news for Polygoon. Philip Bloemendal , nicknamed “The voice of the Netherlands” , was for 40 years (from 1946 to 1986) the Dutch cinema newsreel announcer, voice-over, and editor . His voice-overs are The Voice of the postwar Dutch Polygoon news reels.
“Where they are not, nothing is happening” was the motto (5) of the cameramen of the Polygoon newsreel company in Holland.
May 1931 , two dutch newsreel companies, Polygoon in the city of Haarlem, and Profilti in The Hague, were competing to have the premiere of the first Dutch cinema newsreel with sound. Below a May 17, 1931 Polygoon interview (6) with former cyclist and sportsman W.W. van der Vet on the occasion of his 85th birthday (20241107_2).
