I currently have the SE 2020 and the iPhone 12. I know this might sound crazy, but I'm actually finding I like the photos of the SE better in most (not all) scenarios. For example, taking pictures of family/kids in the snow the other day, the 12 worked so hard to even everything out, that the photo looked dim. It lightened our faces enough to compensate, but it just looked oddly unnatural and "over HDR'd" (if that makes sense). The 12 also tends to way over do it on blue skies, making the foreground look almost as if it was photoshopped onto a deep blue sky. The SE just handles those situations so much better and more naturally. The 12 does a better job in certain low light situations - but the SE isn't bad in lower light either with its Smart HDR. I wanted to post some pics here, but for some reason I can't upload, but thought I would go ahead and leave the comment anyway... hopefully that's ok.
