Any feedback on the new iPhone camera? Cell phone always the standby camera in your pocket.

From the examples in the article, it seems iPhone 6 camera is only marginally better than the previous version. However, there may be significant advantages concerning more advanced apps available for iPhone 6.

I think this is a year old report on the iPhone 6 camera, not the new iPhone 6s.

Here is a lengthy article, critical of the new iPhone camera.

I have to comment that gizmodo has seldom been a fan and usually been a panner of Apple products. They're one of the "anti-Apple" sites on the web.

Regardless of reviews (which, if you look around, are mixed, but generally positive), I'll be getting a 6s Plus this Fall to replace my aging 4s. It all boils down to the entire Apple ecosystem... We have two recent and one aging Mac at home. OS 10.10.5 (and the just released upgrade, 10.11) are tightly integrated with the iPhone running OS9.0.1. My wife and kids also have iPhones. We're in too deep to care about other brands... Apple is a knowledge investment to a greater extent than other platforms.

One of the interesting review organizations commenting on Apple is Consumer Reports. Their *readers* in annual surveys consistently put Apple on the top of the heap when it comes to overall user satisfaction, reliability, dependability, and service. CU reviewers might give an Apple product an "also ran" review, but typically that's because they're always reviewing last year's models due to deadline timings.

50% more pixels (12 now instead of 8) for bigger prints or more cropping room

5 MP front-facing camera (instead of 1.3 MP) for better selfies

4K video recording

Live Photos feature saves 3 seconds of video from before and after each still image is captured. You can play back "photos that move" like the wall portraits in the Harry Potter movies

Many other internal improvements include:

Beefier case that won't bend, made from aircraft grade 7000 series aluminum

Better taptic engine for tactile feedback

Better interface features with 3D-Touch (pressure sensitive screen for peeking into files and popping them open, etc.)

Better multi-band radios for world-wide network compatibility. Advanced LTE is up to twice as fast, and WiFi with MiMo can be twice as fast, too, if your base station supports it.

70% faster 64-bit processor with double the RAM AND a 90% faster graphics processorÂ… This translates to great game playing experience, smooth 4K video capture, and overall great snappiness.

There are many other small changes. Because the new 's' phones have new hardware in them, iOS 9.0.1 does many things on the new phones that cannot be done on the old phones.

If you watch the keynote speech on Apple.com (where they introduced their new products at Bill Graham Auditorium in San Francisco), you'll see a performance graph comparing the earliest iPhones with the latest. The largest performance jump has been from the last phones to the current phones. At this point, the curve is pointing almost straight up. I was impressed with my 4s in 2011. I'm sure I'll be blown away by the difference the 6s Plus makes.

my wife has the i6 plus which we use on the golf course for both still and video pics. No complaint thus far but.........neither of us are photogeeks but......we are very happy with the overall picture quality of the i6.

That said....I personally have the i4s and happy with the photo quality of that phone.

I compared the iPhone to all my cameras.
The iPhone was SOOO much better that I got rid of my both my Canon 5Dmklll and the 1Dx. Now I shoot both weddings and sports exclusively with my iPhone!!! Can't wait to get that new iPhone!!!
It's the way of the future. Way more than Sony!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey, It IS better than the 5D Mark III and 1Dx if you left them at home! The best camera you have is the best camera you have WITH YOU.

(If I'm bringing out the "big iron and glass", I'm on a real photo mission. If not, I still have my iPhone.)

I bought an app called ProCam for my iPhone 6S+ and then shot some Ultra HD 4K footage in video (after buying that option in an "in app" purchase.) Each frame of this 24p video is 4032x2268 pixels in size and it is tack sharp to the edges, every frame.

ProCam has a lot of features in photography worth investigating, and I will do so, posting here.
