Vogue's fashion week coverage features vertical video.
Of course, those aren't high resolution. They aren't advertised as 4K. They don't pretend that there's enough detail to occupy 3840 rows of pixels--or even 1920 rows.
4K, but you recorded it in portrait and it's compressed to like 1mbps or something stupidly low.
pretty decent real world test - he is using a third party wide angel lens (Moment) and an external mic (Rode) which you kinda need if you are a serious video blogger.
Thanks for clarifying that.
So it's software stabilization: "Cinematic Video Stabilization" - it works very well indeed.
After looking at those pictures I guess she will likely be as happy with the iPhone as with the GS6...of course your pictures have a lot more pop to them as the ones posted by the early receiver, but the butterfly was clearly shot with better lighting (and thus much less noise and way crisper) and if you check the areas with low contrast in the second picture (for example the bus on the right or that gray roof bit on the left) you see the same artifact/noise garbage as in the picture of the dog on the couch...I guess there are lots of situations where phone cameras are good enough (better a compromise in picture quality then no pic at all) and I guess that the one in the new iPhone will be among those that are at least ok...only drawback: the old one may be just a bit better suited for those situations that are not favorable to the concept of a tiny sensor...while i doubt there are that many situations where one would actualy benefit from the added mp count of the new sensor...ah well, we will see when we get our hands on them...till then, let's keep the hope up
Dave both the images I posted are hugely challenging for any camera. The first is basically right up against a butterfly with a lot of depth of field issues. The light is good, but the macro focus and detail is fantastic. The night shot is also hugely challenging but in a different way. Yes, there are artefacts as low light, but the camera easily manages depth of field issues. And remember those images are on tvs so all moving, yet it's very vibrant without having over-saturation.
As you get to daylight shots of family (not that I'm going to post those online), and pots and dogs it only gets better, because those are relatively easy shots that both cameras are optimized for. Yet, last two gens of iphones, it seems like there are random blurs in places where the there aren't depth of field issues, or light issues.
Couldn't agree with you more!
Just rebutting all the hyperbolic "this phone camera is as good as an SLR" talk that inevitably goes around.
"Almost 5 days early?" Really? Since mail comes once a day, couldn't you just say "4 days early"?
Trivia-
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot episode, the character Sky is shown making a video of a rescue holding her phone vertically. Later in the episode, when they view the video, it's in horizontal mode.
Checkout Casey Niestat's Vlog! He shoots the entire video in 4k on the new iPhone 6s
Hope I can upload to YouTube in 4K directly from camera roll. Right now there is only SD & HD generic options. Does not specify level of HD when uploading.
Hell can't freeze over fast enough for me to say "when hell freezes over" but it would be nice if people took more pictures in landscape period (and learnt composition, too!)
Agreed. If this is what a 12 megapixel camera looks like, then why bother counting megapixels?
I can't say I seen this before, that's odd! I ordered mines thru T-Mobile on the same day and mines say "9-23/9-25. What carrier you have?
please stop talking about things you know nothing about...
you are confusing an instruction set with an actual implementation.
32-bit ARM cores use the ARMv7-A instruction set
64-bit ARM cores use the ARMv8-A instruction set
Instruction sets are simply the set of instructions that need to be implemented by those who build ARM CPUs. The way they're implemented is completely up to the company doing the implementation. In the smartphone world, the primary ARM architectural licensees (companies that build their own cores) are Qualcomm, Apple, Nvidia, and possibly Samsung if rumors are to be believed. The rest of the companies (MediaTek, Huawei, etc) are core licensees and use the designs provided by ARM (Cortex-A72, A57, A53, etc). Even current Samsung and Qualcomm flagship chips are using the ARM designs because Apple caught everybody off guard when they were the first to implement 64-bit ARMv8-A cores.
The ARM Cortex-A72 core is an implementation of the ARMv8-A instruction set. It is largely an evolution and expansion of the ARM Cortex-A57 core, which is the 64-bit version of the A15 core.
Apple's A-series of chips have used custom CPU cores since A6 and are completely different in implementation from the A72 and A57 cores that other companies are using. Nobody besides Apple will get the performance gains of their new A9 chip. That said, I'd be very impressed if the Exynos M1 leaks are real.
pure gold is too soft to use for jewelry and the like. So, it's alloyed with other metals: silver, copper, palladium, rhodium, etc. The various colored golds have
18K Red gold: 75% gold, 25% copper
18K Rose gold: 75% gold, 22.25% copper, 2.75% silver
18K Pink gold: 75% gold, 20% copper, 5% silver[3]
so, you've got a standardized alloy that you can attempt to match with anodized aluminum.
