iPhone 4 Vs. Canon 7D

We saw iPhone 4 camera comparisons before, and we know that the camera holds up pretty good to other devices in the market. This time, we’re seeing the iPhone 4 used as a filmmaking tool over at Take Zer0.

“The iPhone 4 has a fixed f/2.8 aperture and a relatively large 3.85mm lens (which seems to be approximately the equivalent of 35mm on a crop sensor or 56mm on a FF). It has an automatic, variable shutter speed between 1/15 and 1/10000; an automatic ISO of around 80-1000; and the sensor is 1/3.2″ and has some new backside illumination tech to capture more photons (although, in low light, it’s still noisy as heck). Oh, and it records 1280×720 footage at 30fps (just like the original 5D Mark II firmware, it’s 30, not 29.97). The bitrate is about 10 mbps (not bad) and the audio is a low mono 66 kbps at 44.1 kHz.”

Watch the videos below. I believe the result is quite impressive.
