wolf33d Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Interesting video. I am sure people could do great things with this little camera. It doesn’t show it can replace a GH5 but it shows you can do great things with it, and if you need 4K60p in good light outside for a specific shot, even Pro commercial, the iPhone would do great.

maxotics Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I wanted to delete this (my) post. I wish the OP would tell us something we don't already know about current smartphones in general. Or say something like "iPhone X is Better than GH5" so we could try to run him out of town What I'd say is the iPhone X shows that these phones will NEVER do commercial work. All improvements are mostly in computational photography, multi image synthesis, etc. They simply don't have the sensor size or horsepower to keep up with today's expectations. Think about it, there still isn't RAW video on any consumer camera. I'm actually surprised. The only reason to buy an iPhone X is to impress your friends. There, you can flame me now sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There, you can flame me now The iPhone WILL Do commercial (Bentley?) work because photographers and videographers are fallible and corruptible. And Apple has in a new offshore in Jersey stashed hundreds of biliions of dollars from US tax authorities, which it is willing to pay judges, photographers and videographers, and various other individuals. The V30 followed this when it had a face-off with a RED. Though the level of shamelessly is nowhere near the limit iPhone indulges in. maxotics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Maze Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yay! I partook in the clickbait! For what it's worth...I shot the video on my 1DC and used the "portrait" picture profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 These comparisons always come up and what we end up comparing are static shots with comparable contrast and color. That's awesome for a phone, but the small sensor is still evident when EVERYTHING is in focus on the iPhone. f22 or bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Lol, forgot to mention I have nothing to do with this video or youtube channel. But above that, I forgot some people here definitely have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I like the way the iPhone processing handles highdyanmic range scenes without HDR. I wish my Nikon could spit out jpgs/video the way the iPhone does, it actually renders similar to the way your eye sees it, but the small sensor just can't deliver such DR so it looks desaturated and noisy/noise-reduction. The big cameras really need to catch up on the software side, and even the raw processors are falling behind (adobe camera raw,etc) webrunner5 and mercer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbp Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Iphone looks nice in daylight. Some limitations for sure. Stinks in low light, and small sensor is limiting of course. Having something so small on a gimbal outdoors would be handy, especially since you'll want most stuff in focus anyway. That said, it's doing some really weird warping in the gimbal footage. Must be the in camera stabilization. Hopefully you can turn that off, otherwise it's useless. It's another tool, for sure. Low end has, and will continue to crush up against the mid-high end in the future. It's getting increasing harder to give a shit about the $10,000 price point cameras.

I thought we all knew this already...? Right tool for the job? Don't let the tools get in the way of your creativity/ability etc. etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
