6S vs 6S Plus Camera (for those who used both)

I think the 6S camera is at least as good as the 6S camera.

 

You might want to change the title to reflect your question concerning the camera on the 6S VS the 6S+. Your current title is 6S vs 6S Camera (for those who used both)

You might get more responses.

You forgot to put the + sign on one of those in the title

 

From what I can tell, the biggest difference is the iPhone 6s Plus has OIS, and therefore video quality is much improved. A big part of video quality is how stable to video is. You can still get great video with the 6s but you need to be holding it pretty still or brace yourself against something to get video as good as the 6s Plus. Otherwise you'll need to run it through software to stabilize it which loses some resolution. For photos, I think the OIS is more of a help in low-light conditions, I'm just not certain if there is as significant a difference as there is with video. My guess from looking at photos is no.

 

I personally chose the plus versions (6+ and 6S+) primarily for OIS. I love taking pictures and have a decently visited photoblog. So, the improvements in low light pictures and also in stabilizing walking videos was the decider.

 

If you have a hand tremor will the hardware image stabilization feature in the 6S+ make a significant difference (when taking photos) vs the digital OIS feature in the 6S?

 

optical vs digital is:

 

The video is a lot more stable on the + variants. I have a + and my wife has the smaller phone. It makes a big difference in shots when you're moving. Photos seem about the same to my untrained eyes, but videos is where the + shines.

 

Wow that is a bigger difference than I expected.

 

Dont know about the 6S and 6S plus, but , i owned the 6 and 6 Plus . There wasn't a huge difference

 

if video is important, you can always use the difference in price towards a 3-axis gimbal stabiliser.

 

OIS is very nice to have.

 

Or a solid O'Connor Fluid head with legs.

 

you just can't fly with that though...

 

^ What is that?

 

it's a 3-axis gimbal with brushless motors (for stabilisation for smooth video). this one allows both cell phones and GoPros 3 & 4.



I've since switched to another one that adds both tilt & pan.

 

Does that provide any benefit to Plus models?

 

this video might convince you...
