iPhone 6S vs Samsung S6, GoPro 4, and Sony a7R II: 4K Video Review

4K video is the iPhone 6S' most exciting feature. We test it against the biggest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S6, and two dedicated video cameras: the GoPro Hero 4 Black and the Sony a7R II.

if the s6 is better in low light, but otherwise the same, why are you pushing the iPhone so much?
Also, samsung has had 4k since the s5. why is everyone so moist about the iphone having 4k?

[UberDurable]

How about the LG G4? It has a superior camera as well.

[TheGevShow]

how compressed are these clips? on my 4k tv they all looked terrible except 2:55, the A7r II looked great.

[PostColorGear]

I somewhat agree with the best camera is the one that you have with you, but its the lack of telephoto optics that kills it for me for phones. I had the Sony Xperia, and even though it wasnt the best phone, it did decent in low light (for a phone), image stabilized, and 4k. I could get a nice shallow depth of filed with close subjects, wide angles. I know why they use wide angles for phones. Or I can at least assume. But it's still a bummer.

What about Sony Z5? They just top DXO Mark mobile sensor chart.

Putting your heads in the iPhone/android wars might turn out to be a mistake. if you thought the Nikon/canon wars were brutal you have no idea what you are getting into :-)

[esenel]

1 important thing is still missing imho. What are the recording times on a single full charge for each of them?

[CTChipmunk]

Off topic... but quick question... I have the Nikon D3300. Should I get the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Nikkor Zoom Lens or the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SP Di VC USD XLD (equivalent)... they are both around $300 used & I want an FX lens for my DX so that I can get more zoom.. about 450mm.

[ADivaForLife]

WOW this is great, I have the Sony A6000 and was wondering whether or not to get a GoPro or just upgrade to an IPhone 6+s, thank you!! I need to know what is a good lens for my Sony ? I have the kit lens and the 55mm, what else do I need! HELP

[NCatCrew]

Who dunked the ball? Was that a 10' rim?

[StevenRPictures]

Tony, when you talk about 28mm or 15mm here at 3:10, I take it you are talking about 35mm equiv?

[djlobb]

What do you guys think of the audio the 6S records? I find it isn't nearly as good as the Galaxy S6. Seems like it goes a bit too wild on the noise reduction, sounds like it's in a LifeProof case or something. Same with my iPhone 6.

[tjrsasea]

Oh pls the flare on the GS6 is due to the sunlight shining on the camera lens. The iPhone could just be not under direct sunlight cos it is blocked by that roof. (You can say that he took it at the same time and it is not possible. But the iPhone is just beside the GS6 and may be under shadows.)

[balazsorban]

Could you guys review some RAW shots of Android phones? From Lollipop 5.0 there is support for manual settings on phones, which in theory would result in much better photos. I am really curious about it. As far as I know, Galaxy S6 has the RAW shooting enabled, but the winner would be a OnePlus One

[KennyomarGarcia]

The Note 5 has an amazing camera as well!

[SERGE_Tech]

That was actually pretty cool. Being a tech channel my self and seeing you guys compare iPhone and dslr is pretty cool also enjoyed the addition of the go pro turns out I've had all those devices except for that canon.

[mymovievideos]

Wow thanks for making this video! I enjoyed looking at both the differences, and I'm glad I have the iPhone 6S plus. Wow I'm very impressed!

[MoscowBaseStation]

Thanks for this test . Upgraded 6plus to 6s-plus 128gb I wasn't sure if this would be worth it. But it seems like a win win when upgrading..

[mcol]

Could you explain how you would go about transcoding the footage from the iphone or the samsung?

[CoajaCristiandance]

i waiting comparasion of s6 vs go pro, but didn't happen.
