I put together an ambitious product photoshoot of a 'technology stir fry' showing a variety of tech products being tossed in oil in a wok above roaring flames. The finished image I created was eventually made up of 28 individual full-resolution images composited together into what you see here. This beast is in the hands of elite professional commercial photographers the world over, and its stunning, detailed images would be a great test for the M1 Max chip. It's the Phase One XFIQ4, a commercial-standard medium format camera that churns out whopping 150-megapixel images and costs somewhere north of $60,000. I put the top-end 16-inch Pro with the M1 Max chip with 64GB of RAM to the test in a studio photoshoot with probably the world's best - and most demanding - camera. So when I got one in my hands, I wanted to see how well it copes with a demanding professional photoshoot workload. The 16-inch model with an M1 Max CPU impressed CNET's Dan Ackerman so much it earned a coveted Editors' Choice award. When Apple launched its latest line of MacBook Pros with the new M1 Max chips, I was excited, as a professional photographer, by the upgrades and what that could mean for working creatives.
