iPhone 4S vs Canon 5D Mark II

Fingernail vs Full Frame sensor – iPhone 4S vs Canon 5D Mark II, The video quality of iPhone 4S is really amazing..see the comparison video (below) and share your thoughts

iPhone 4S / Canon 5d MKII Side by Side Comparison from Robino Films on Vimeo.

***You can download the full 1080p version of this video for a more accurate representation.

Here’s a “fair” test between the iPhone 4S and the Canon 5D MK II. I made a little rig that allowed me to shoot both cameras at the same time side by side. All scenes are perfectly synced together so you can pause and scrutinize the frames! See photo of the makeshift rig in the photo area.

Exposure, shutter speed, frame rate and picture style were matched as close as possible between the two cameras.

This test shows that the tiny F2.4 lens and sensor on the iPhone are pretty nice. It even got a little depth of field!

I did not note accurate 5D settings per shot because it’s pretty useless in the end for an iPhone comparison… I tried to matched the iPhone so no “Cinestyle” / 24p here.

Here are the settings:

iPhone 4S
– AE.AF locked. That’s all you have!

Canon 5D MKII
– Canon 50mm 1.4
– ISO 160 ~ 640 (varied per shot to match the iPhone)
– F 7~22 (varied per shot to match the iPhone)
– Shutter 1/60th
– Auto WB

– Standard Picture Style
– 1080p 30

iPhone 4S uses Sony Sensor
