Now that we have a 1080p camera, is there a decent app to let us shoot in 720p if we want to, and maybe have a pause button?
Got a tip for us?

I'm testing out "almost DSLR" right now. It has a bunch of still photo features and you can chose between 720p and some lower resolutions... but not 1080p. Also, so image stabilization.
yeah
yeah, looks like it went up sunday, it seems to go up and down oh bout every 1-2 weeks.

I would imagine it would be to save space. Recording at 1080p fills up the phone quick, especially if you have a 16gb.
Yep, remember 720p is 1280x720... 1080p is 1920x1080... so the actual difference in size is 2.25x bigger for 1080p. Very significant.
Especially since 90% of the vids are intended for internet/social networks that typically have no need for resolusions over 420. Recording every vid at 1080 for non-HD internet display is a colossal waste of space!
Yes and no. Space is cheap
so I don't consider it "Wasteful" - more like "unnecessary".I can understand why someone would want the ability to select in advance a lower video resolution to save storage on the phone. Fortunately there are inexpensive apps that do this, so people do have the option.
That said, 1080p video is the #1 reason I bought the 64GB phone. Even casual videos get copied over to my NAS (cheap storage space) at full size, I see no reason to throw away detail & quality. Never know what I might want to do with them in the future.
I just bought Filmic Pro and damn I'm loving this app! Best Video Camera App hands down! You can change the bitrate, resolution, audio (compressed vs uncompressed) and do many more things!
The main reason I bought the iPhone 4S was for its camera and I just fell in love with it all over again lol - I just wished I would of bought the 64GB version instead of the 32GB.

"cheap storage" ............ you're kidding right?
an extra $100 for 16g is cheap?
an extra $200 for 46g is cheap?
You doubled the price of your device compaired to my $200 4s -
(most would not consider that "cheap storage")
I'll start a poll, but I'm guessing there is way more peeps with 16g 4s than 64g 4s -
(cause that is a lot more money for storage)
TL24, how much does the Filmic Pro app cost?

Unfortunately for us, $2.99 - it was FREE on November 23-25 I think? But I never heard of this app till today when it was mentioned in this thread.
I was actually referring to "storage", as in where you store the video files long-term. I would not assume that you use your valuable/scarce on-board memory for long-term storage.
That said - You don't have a $200 4S. You have a $650 4S. You financed $450 of it with your carrier contract. Actual price of the various models is $649/$749/$849. Increasing the price by 30% gives you 4X the storage. That's pretty reasonable.
track it
track it with app shopper and you'll get an alert when it goes down. It does so about once every 2 weeks.

Dude, I don't know who your carrier is, or what school you took math at, but my carrier is ATT and I didn't finance a nickel. I pay for my 2 yr usage plan only, (exactly like the other iphone carriers).
(My bill is itemized like most, and there is no additional cost for the 4s)
30% more? what kind of math is that?
I paid $200 for my 4s, and you paid $400, (that's twice as much, not 30% more
)
Try to cancel your line before 2 years. Try to drop data coverage. You're paying for it, even if it's not itemized. AT&T subsidized $450 of the price of your phone, just like they did mine.
Technically, wouldn't it be an extra 48GB for $200?
you can do quite a bit with that extra storage. I got sick of moving apps on and off the phone, and I rarely use my personal computer because I use my phone for nearly everything. I'd say it's worth it for sure.
