    I’m a hobbyist videographer and this is fucking impressive. Professional lighting and gimbals would also needed to be used for pro cameras. Even if you were just shooting on a DSLR, you’d still need lighting design.

    What’s actually impressive about the iPhone this time around is that they didn’t add additional LENS. That’s new. In the past you still needed to add extra glass to it.

    It means that it’s just using the raw sensor and built in lens, you can replace a cinematic DSLR, that’s actually a huge deal.

    Does it mean that soccer moms will start creating full feature films? No, you’d still need to know composition and lighting design and all that, but this is pretty damn cool.

      Very often for my Youtube channel (barely 20k subscribers), I shoot my iPhone right alongside footage from my A7C, and quite honestly, the iPhone’s is a better footage thanks to the computational aspect fixing things an idiot like me doesn’t know how to fix.

      Agreed. The two things that blew me away is

      1: No added lens. That was always a cop-out IMO

      2: Almost no one guessed that it was iPhone footage before the reveal at the end

      On the typical shot on iPhone videos you could either see it clearly or it was using things like external lenses.

      Apart from the HW upgrades I think the biggest difference in terms of quality is apple log. It really lets you go away from that mobile look.

      Really impressive.
