Rise of the Iphone as a Camera Part 3




          In part 2 of this topic, I brought up some areas where the Iphone out performed the GH4. As great as it was, the point of this series of blogs is to talk about how the two are COMPARABLE. The reason I draw attention to this is because the Iphone is not better, it is only comparable... so far. The areas it falls short in where the before mentioned lack of adjustable shutter speed and ISO, but it also falls short in the quantified apeture settings, limited choice in lenses, and (one that I forgot to mention) the inability to white-balance. There are ways to white-balance Iphone images, but only in post. The Iphone does have the ability to auto adjust its white-balance some, but its limited. In addition, to have a manual white-balance feature would be nice because you would then be able to change the appearance of the image. The Iphone can white-balance only in post. The choice of lenses is limited to a few clip on lenses of questionable quality. In my opinion, I very strongly believe that if the Iphone had adjustable shutter speed, quantifiable aperture, and a higher quality selection of lenses Iphones would be able to replace most of the current professional gear.
