In part one of this blog I very blankly said that I thought that cell phone cameras were becoming comparable with the film equipment that film students use. In this blog I would like to, using my limited knowledge, describe the comparisons. Some of the key things I have learned about cameras is the importance of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, frame rate, resolution, and lenses. The newer Iphones have made great work at improving their use of aperture, frame rate, resolution, and (to an extent) different lenses. They still lack settings for ISO and shutter speed though. The Iphone and the GH4 have the ability to adjust the aperture, however, the Iphone does not have the ability to quantify its adjustments (in other words, you cant measure the apeture). The GH4 can shoot between 24-96 frames persecond. The iphone though can shoot between 2-240 frames persecond. Whenever my friend Aaron was making a music video, he recorded a scene at 94 fps with 720p (the resolution). This was the best the GH4 could do in that area. My Iphone though was able to capture the same scene at 120fps with 1080p. This is another point of comparison, the GH4's max resolution is 1080p, and at higher frame rates only 720. The iphone can shoot in 4k, and at higher frame rates between 1080p and 720p (720 at 240 fps). As Aaron and I talked about this, we were both shocked that in these areas the Iphone outperformed the GH4.
