iPhone 5S video: Streets of Milano

Pretty incredible that a phone can do this.

It is very good for a cellphone, possibly one of the best by any phone on the market.

But looking at it objectively, its meh. Reshoot that video using a prosumer HD video camera with a real lens which gathers significantly more light, and that HD video would look orders of magnitude sharper, and with significantly improved color.

So I guess what I am saying is, even if you are an amatuer, but you want to take good video, get a dedicated videocamera sporting a real lens, zoom, and sensor.

Right, however most DSLR's and high end cameras (C100, for example) don't shoot 120FPS. Also, it can't fit in your pocket. I'm not always going to have my T2i ready with me, but to have a device that's portable, can make phone calls, internet, video, Twitter, email, whatever and record video this well is just amazing to me. I wonder what type of video we'll have in 10 years...
