OK. Now let’s see some low light video.
what kind of parent gives his kid a fauxhawk...
1) Thanks for the video, Mike. While the iPhone is clearly inferior to the Panasonic in the comparison for the price of the device (not including the utility of being a smartphoen) and size of the camera components it's incredible what the iPhone can do. They've come a long way in a decade.
2) Is filming in H.264 and H.265 for 4K@60 options for the iPhone 8? If so, did that change the quality in perceivable manner? I've read reports that H.265 will result in slightly lower quality, but those claims seemed spurious.
3) Is the iPhone still the only smartphone with 4K@60? I've seen the Note 8 and Pixel 2 being listed as 4K@60, but it seems like those are still actually 4K@30.
4) If Apple is still getting camera components from Sony (and other vendors), how is this Apple getting so far ahead in this field? Is this mostly SW efficiency by building a better ISP into their A-series chip, are they designing their own camera components, and/or are they getting exclusive deals for camera component from 3rd-party vendors?
Half the video literally covered low light video comparisons.
Why kind of parent would tell a child he couldn't brush his hair that way?
Two tiny paragraphs of text and a video. If I wanted to watch a movie I'd go to the theater or turn on TV.
AI videos usually annoy me -
but this one was happily the exception. Really a lot of info that would've taken an age to explain in text - presented clearly ina short and to the point video.
I love the the utility of having the iPhone camera on me all the time. And under good conditions I can get some some great shots - but with a 1 yo toddler 'good conditions' are pretty rare now. I noticing most dads/mums getting a separate camera like the Panasonic for use at parties, family events etc.
i was kinda hoping the 2017 iPhone range would solve this - but I'm going with 'nah'.
