iPhone 4S vs. Canon 5D MKII: Video Showdown

It’s pretty clear so far that the new camera on the iPhone 4S is pretty impressive, but just how far have things really come? The folks at Robino Films attempt to answer that question by comparing video quality side-by-side between the iPhone 4S and Canon’s exceptional 5D MKII.

The results are actually extremely impressive – the 4S doesn’t quite add up to the $2500 5D MKII, but it’s really not as far off as many might expect! The iPhone 4S can shoot 1080p video at 30 frames per second. So, how long until someone shoots an entire film using the iPhone 4S?
