MemberThe new iPhone 4 arrived today and I had a chance to play around with the camera and video functions. It is a very respectable upgrade and the white balance, at least on my model, is excellent. Furthermore, the up-close images (nearly macro) are incredible. In summary, a fly tier could photograph and videotape a fly tying sequence with this camera phone.
Here are some images of my Tarpon flies honestly taken “straight out of camera”. It’s always fun to see the fruits of labor neatly lined up and color coordinated before the battle. Let’s hope they look this good to the Tarpon next week.;D

Have you tried the ‘tap to focus’ on the video too? This way you can blur the background. All this on a smart phone!
I usually bring along a separate camera when fishing but I think I can take my iPhone instead in the future.I’ll give you a choice:

I usually bring along a separate camera when fishing but I think I can take my iPhone instead in the future.I just took a new business subscription for my business and I got the new iPhone 4.
Here’s a short video I took just out of camera and I was curious how good the video capabilities are of the iPhone 4 on focus-depth part (foreground focused, back ground blurred and the other way around).
I’m blown away… This is amazing! On a smart phone for $@*& sake!
Here’s the link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H-A5azIewE
Watch it in 720p mode for best result. During converting on YouTube the quality gets a tiny beat. The original quality is slightly better(!).

MemberDo not upgrade to the new OS with your 3G it ruins the phone
I’m waiting for the upgrade early september when my 2 year contract with my iPhone 3G is done.
Can’t wait…Have you tried shooting some video’s with your iPhone?[/quote]

MemberJay,
That is a good example of selective focus with the iPhone 4 video.

iOS 4.1 (out sept 8th) will take care of the lagging on 3G models.
The video was shot on the iPhone.

noneMemberNeal,
The shaking is indeed something that ruins the video.
It’s almost impossible to hold the iPhone still when shooting without some form of a steady underground or a tripod. The iPhone has no way to attach to a tripod.The image stabilization option in iMovie isn’t getting the job done 100%.

MemberNeal,
The image stabilization option in iMovie isn’t getting the job done 100%.
Image stabilization in Final Cut works well but as you know it takes forever and it crops the composition. Oh well, still pretty amazing HD video for a phone.

noneMemberAny idea’s or tips to keep the shaking during filming to a minimum?
