Has anyone else that had an iPhone 5s noticed that all of your old slo-mo videos that were taken with the 5s and restored to 6/6plus can only be played at full speed now and the slo-mo aspect cannot be edited anymore?
The videos still appear in the slo-mo folder, but only play at full speed.

Yes, same thing happened to me on my 6.
Using iMovie for iOS (free IIRC) you can split the clip into sections, adjusting speed in all sections separately.
In the native photos app you can only have one slow mo part as far as I can tell.

I sent a vid to a friend through iMessage and it played in slo-mo. Strangely when I view the video through MY message app, it plays real time speed.
Btw. The receiving phone was a 5s, not a 5. I'm not sure if this is a factor.

It's necessary to get a proper exposure @ 240fps. The 6 can also record at 120fps and the quality is the same if not better than the 5S.
When I first got my 6, I Googled for tips & tricks of slow motion video.
Top tip on every list I've seen is LIGHT. Prodigious amounts of light. The faster the shutter time, the more light you'll need.
Yes, 120fps on the 6 looks just like my 5s, but at 240fps the exposure time is crazy short, so ISO is getting raised to equally crazy levels unless you get in spot with very bright light.
In my limited testing, shooting indoors was very noisy, and outdoor shooting in the morning (long shadows) was still noisier than I wanted.
Next time I'm going back to the range mid-day for the 240 stuff.
Does anyone know how to upload slo-mo videos to Youtube from a Mac? I tried, but the slow motion effect is no longer applied. Same deal with Flickr.
Thanks. I guess I'll just have to do that with the videos I transferred to the Mac. I had a lot of fun with my little daughter out in the backyard taking slow-mo video of insects and her running around, so I was pretty surprised when I uploaded them to iPhoto and found first of all that the slow-mo effect no longer starts and stops the way it did on the phone. Then I found that if I resync them back to the iPhone (since I had deleted them from the device) they will no longer play in slow-mo on the phone, even though they are still marked with the slow-mo icon and appear in the "Slow Motion" album in the photos app. Slow motion is a great feature, but I'm surprised at all of the rough edges in Apple's implementation once you take the videos off your device.
Anyway, here's a video of a butterfly peeing that I took with my iPhone 6 Plus (exported through iMovie). (This is probably best seen enlarged. I also recommend viewing in 720p.)

I'm having the same issue here with uploading to Instagram. On my phone it's slow motion but when I try to upload it's normal speed.
I disagree. Sure, that golf one was pretty pointless, but even walking can be made interesting by slowing it down. It also has a way of making making footage appear more steady.
You can also replicate that "heroes walking in slow motion in a line" kind of scene that Hollywood movies seem to like so much.
The slow motion videos are much grainer and darker. They just don't look great.
Here is an example. Same thing, normal video vs slow motion.
