Re: Canon 5D II/iPhone 4S video comparison

That's interesting and definitely not bad for a phone. I can think of a number of ways a phone camera such as that could be useful (emergency 'C' camera, location scouting, prep work, and in those tight places where a DSLR just won't fit).

I'm no video expert, but other than some grading, and something about the difference between the frame rate and the refresh rate of the large bilboard, that's pretty impressive.

Re: Canon 5D II/iPhone 4S video comparison

Softer image as well. You could probably shoot some footage with the phone and hide it in a movie and most people wouldn't know the difference. I have a pocket camera and the only thing that really kills it - aside from the auto exposure which the iPhone can apparently turn off - is the rolling shutter. Shooting at 720p60 helps that quite a bit, tho. I'd like to see how the phone handles movement.
