D.B. Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 How that the CM1 seems like a video dud can someone recommend a 4k phone for video with add-on lenses available? Now that I'm back in NYC I am constantly discovering things to shoot and want to make sure have the best phone since I don't like always having to carry a camera. Also, would a 4k phone need a telephoto lens or would zooming in (finishing in 1080) during post or using the digital zoom when filming work just as good?

Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Just get used to carrying it more and you'll be fine. A much better solution for producing images compared to a cell phone, you should pay the small inconvenience of carrying it if you care about image-making at all, if you don't and just want to capture moments, an Iphone is the best and most convenient. Carry an LX100 in your jacket pocket/small bag and be done with it, that's my advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 28, 2014 If walk-around run & gun is your thing I recommend the A7 Mark II with the 5 axis stabilisation. Bigger than a phone and an extra device to carry but in my view, good stabilisation for that kind of thing is more important than 4K. The 4K you would get from a phone would barely be any more detailed than 1080p and it would look compressed, clipped, limited dynamic range, video-ish. Interchangeable lenses on a large sensor are the way to go for video if you don't want it to look like rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 28, 2014 If you just want something tiny on the other hand... Go Pro Hero 4 (Black Edition) of course does 4K internal, 24p. Worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeys Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Best bet is a Samsung. I don't know if the quality will be the best (it's certainly decent at least) but if you want accessories, you should stick to the biggest player, which ensures a wider selection of third party accessories.
