Photos are not that bad

Live Photo is a great feature when you create them intentionally. I hope Apple would allow us to remove accidental "live" portions of a photo as I probably wouldn't hold 3 seconds to take a photo every single time.

...

Not sure if you've found this yet, but you can remove the video part of a live photo. While in the Photos app, select the picture and select "Edit". On the edit screen, you will see the live photo icon in blue. Tap the icon and select "Done" and it removes the video and leaves you the photo.

I know you can do that. What I meant is the length of it. Like the blur when you move your phone to take the photo, or the blur when you move your phone away before the whole "Live" is captured.

Editing it doesn't remove the "Live" portion anyway, you can actually turn on the "Live" effect if you go back in and reenable it. It wouldn't save any space by removing the "Live" portion in this case..

I understand what you mean now. That would be a great option to be able to trim it down as needed.

Picked up my 6S from a friend coming from the US last evening. I am upgrading from a for 4S (with whom I took the photos). I went for a dark combination, Space Gray + Midnight Blue case, looks pretty sexy to me

-snip-

Is that the silicon case or the leather case? I'm going for the exact same config (Space Grey 6s with Midnight Blue case) and I really like to know whether to pick the silicon case or the leather one.

looks like it does a good job generally.
i don't mind the very slight S6 advantages.

Wait, the 6S only has 720p front facing video?? I'm sure it was to save battery life or our precious megabytes

Some thoughts on the comparison:

- Front facing camera - better on S6
- Front facing video - miles better on S6
- 4K video - better on 6S
- Daylight photos - better on 6S
- Night photos - better on S6
- Sound in video - light years better on S6

It seems competition has caught up/surpassed Apple as far as camera quality is concerned... S6 isn't a brand new device. It is 6 months old...

I need that Spigen case

Amazon My Dear. If I recall correctly it was about $18.99. Free 2-day shipping, it arrived the day after my 6s Plus, on Saturday, that was perfect!

Orange kind of a pic!!

Interesting test on 9to5 comparing the 6 and 6s cameras..
http://9to5mac.com/2015/09/28/iphone-6-diary-camera-test/

Spoiler: the 6s is poorer. By playing the 'more megapixels' game, the image quality has dropped.

I don't think you can draw that conclusion by 1 test.

 

[roeiz]

can someone with 6S please do a quick test with and without live photos?

just to check how much difference it makes at low light?
with live photos disables, you should get a bit more light.
(because the shutter can be slower).

thanks

he didn't say "it's poorer",
he just said, that like ALL smartphone on the market, small sensor+more MPs = more noise at low light.
apple decided to deal with it with their "water color" effect to reduce the more noise EVERY smartphone cam has at low light. every other phone cam at low light try to smear the noise with their trick.

It's the silicon one. The case has a really good grip, I am very satisfied with it.

Ha, I just read the part about the 4S taking the pictures. Will go with the same config as you have.

I captured what I think is perfect for Live Photo yesterday.

Having Live Photo is good, except that I find that I am purposefully composing the photo for the live effect rather than just taking it as a photo. The end result is awesome when planned, even better if it turned out well unplanned. However, I wasn't very pleased with the overall image quality probably because I didn't turn off the live feature and is shooting in low light most of the time. I find that the auto focus missed a lot of my shots too =(

Picture this in Live Photo though, I'm using this as a Live Wallpaper now and loving it.

Is it possible to share a live wallpaper?

Free 2 day shipping you must have Amazon prime shipping

 

[feeth]

Took this at work last night w my 6S+

If you spend a certain amount of money, most times over $25/$35 SOME items in your cart will qualify for free shipping. I usually make bulk purchases with Amz for that reason. I haven't renewed my Amazon Prime yet. Disputing a matter at the moment.

I do not see how pol can still suggest the camera quality has not improved. That is a really good looking pic. I hated taking selfies with my iPhone 6 Plus. Low or Bright light. I used my Note 4 for selfies. Now, I am more satisfied with the pic quality especially where low light & selfies are concerned.

Posted this on another post, but I'm love it so much, here it is again. Downtown Miami shot from Rickenbacker Causeway at dawn using iPhone 6S plus and completely unedited and shot using the native camera app. What do you think? I'm amazed by the quality.
