60fps vs 30fps

What would you use 60fps for?

I mostly take videos of my daughters. Any advantage using one or the other?

Thanks

You would use 60 fps for action oriented needs. Naturally you will use more storage at that rate.

I haven't done comparisons on the iPhone, but on my camera there is a distinct quality advantage to using 60fps, even if you're not taking anything involving action. Everything looks more fluid and realistic -- almost like looking through a window.

I use 60 fps on my gopro cameras for slow motion effects.

Don't have a 6 or 6 plus yet, but with my DSLR I love shooting 60 fps if only for the option of slowing it down. I love the way it smooths out motion.

Here's some video I shot at my sister's house during a family barbeque. Some of it is normal speed, but a good chunk was slowed down to half speed. It creates a nice cinematic feel.

Looks like you have a wonderful family!

Looks good for only 60fps

A lot of high end slow motion effects are done with double that frame rate. I don't think I've ever seen video footage of slowed down 60. Usually 120 and up. Looks pretty good though.

My first 60 fps recording was with the fish in my saltwater aquarium. It is a stunning difference in the motion shown afterwards in comparison to 1080p /30 with my old iPhone 5.

FYI, even if you're shooting at 30 you can get (usually) great slo-mo by using optical flow in your NLE.

Honestly I just leave it on 60 fps all the time... It honestly looks so much better and smoother, sure it takes up more storage but thats why i got the 64GB i6 plus so that isn't much of a issue..

It just makes videos look like it's on a tripod, it helps a ton too when zooming in IMO

I leave it on 60fps also. But a lot of it has to do with the option being so out of the way when I want it set to 60. They really should have made the option a button press within the camera app when taking a video.

yea slo mo option for selecting 120 fps or 240 fps is right in the camera app. Must have been a different division of apple working on the slow mo.

30 fps would look more like TV. 60 fps would look more like reality. 23 fps would look like the movies. There's a reason why most tv/movies are less frames - so they don't look like reality.
