iPhone 6 video quality: wow.

For those who haven't seen it yet, go to settings > photos & camera > scroll to the bottom > turn on 'record video at 60fps'.

I was blown away by the quality and smoothness. Also love the way the phone stabilises the video taking away any shakiness.

I think this should be enabled by default for those with 64/128GB configurations.

I took this time-lapse video of a tornado that moved near my campus last Monday. The iPhone 6 time-lapse video quality is superb! (especially considering I kept bumping the camera) Check it out here if you wish:

while it does smooth out motion, I don't see how it would stabilize it at all. Now if you were to half the speed then I could see how it would have a stabilizing effect, but nothing else is going on there is it?

Is the digital stabilizer on by default or do you have to switch it on? Because digital stabilization crops the image somewhat. Would like get the full image if no stabilization is needed.

To me, it didn't stablize it much more if any

Don't you mean the 6 plus?

No sure don't, the iPhone 6 has video image stabilization (it's done through shooting higher resolution than 1080p, cropping each frame so that each frame closely matches position to the nearest neighbors). The exclusive image stabilization in the 6+ is not very useful for video.

That seems like it would take a lot of processing power
 
Here's a quick one I shot with my 6. Regular speed, but I thought the quality was pretty darn good myself.

I've seen enough plenty of comparison videos, it looks very useful to me. How could it not? Optical image stabilization beats digital any day, video and stills.

I still wish they would've included that in the iPhone 6 (and made the phone a bit thicker and put in a larger battery lol)
