I’m not an Apple fan nor do I own an iPhone, but I have to give it to them: this looks awesome and makes me want an iPhone 4.
Not long ago, video shot on mobile phones was bound to look horrible and lack more detail than a UFO sighting report. Washed colors, limited resolutions, choppy framerate, extremely poor sound, you know how it was.
When the HD recording was announced for the iPhone 4 I was very skeptical of it, thinking it’s going to be just another example of cramming many pixels on a small sensor, resulting in the usual poor video quality . But I’ve been proven wrong. It looks great! And while it’s no Flip Ultra HD, if you’re a vlogger and got no camera around, the new iPhone can definitely shoot (and edit) well enough for an emergency.
Check out this HD video sample recorded and edited on an iPhone 4 below.
Impressed? You should be.
This is also good news even if you’re an Android person and would never buy an iPhone, because Android phone makers will have to work on improving their video quality too if they want to stay competitive.
