new 4K iPhone 6s can edit 4K video in iMovie on the phone

Looks nice enough, even if it's a pretty forgiving scene.

But I did see some of the photos actually showing nicer than expected handling of highlights in high contrast scenes.
 
They ARE real cameras. Sure, fixed focal length and deep DOF which means they are not nearly as versatile as a large sensor system… but make no mistake—the images are just as valid.

Of course. Features have been shot on iPhones for awhile. Including successful ones, like this one, shot entirely on the iPhone 5S - "Tangerine", 95% on RottenTomatoes, bunch of awards, minimal budget - trailer:

So if it can be done on an old iPhone 5S, why can't it be done on a newer one two generations down the road from the 5S? No reason at all.

Exactly. It's a tool, nothing more nothing less. I could actually see making use of it during my wedding shoots as a locked off additional camera angle.

That sad thing is, I'd probably be looked down upon by people and other video folks, but there's zero rationale as to why. For that particular application, all I need is a locked off camera with a fixed angle that records a bright and clean image. Which the phone can do. So why not? Saves me from buying an extra camera when I need to own a phone anyway. But for some reason it'll be "amateur" because it's a phone.

Firstly; why care what other videographers think? And when any guest thinks your an "amateur" because of your tools, then you silence them by your "eye". In a few weeks every person and their dog at weddings will have the new iPhone. But if they don't have a creative eye, their work will look like garbage.

The same argument has been used in photography for ever. Years ago, large format shooters turned their noses up at 35mm cameras. Now, DSLR shooters are doing the same with m4/3 etc etc.

Let your work do the talking and let the fools succumb to envy.
 
[h=1]4K? For what? iPhone 6S camera ushers ultra-high resolution into mainstream[/h]Thanks to Apple's new iPhones, the next wave of super-high-def video won't flow from Hollywood or pro sports leagues. It will bubble up from people like you.

Apple is on a roll since it takes in 92% of the profits of all smartphone sales worldwide.

So the iPhone 6 shoots just as good video as some dslrs but the dslr still beats the iPhone for stills. Interesting. Imagine all those people at a wedding shooting 4K with their iPhones.
 
Apple color science is garbage..I prefer Canon colors or even the Sony look...don't get me started on the way they cripple their cameras....pshhhh

Me'laddie, we are talking about a $400 phone, lest ye forget.

What exactly do you expect from a phone at this price point? Love to see a breakdown of your concept art and blueprints if you don't mind posting.
 
I think people who dismiss all these "toy cameras" have their head firmly in the sand.

If I had the talent and it was the right tool for the job, I wouldn't hesitate using an iPhone in front of clients.
