Robino Films has posted a video which compares 1080p HD video samples captured by both the iPhone 4S and the Canon 5D Mark II side-by-side. The videographer said the iPhone 4S and Canon EOS-5D Mark II were set so that the frame rate, picture style, exposure and shutter speed were “as close as possible.” The Canon 5D Mark II was equipped with a 50mm lens, ISO was set to 160 ~ 640, shutter speed was set to 1/60th, auto-white balance was activated and the camera was set to record at 30 frames per second at 1080p. The iPhone 4S was simply set to AE/AF locked. The results are quite impressive and aside from some changes in color, the videos actually look quite similar. The Canon 5D Mark II with average lens runs around $3,000 and up. Be sure to catch the video after the break below.

    Impressive, given the cost and size of the 5d.  I wouldn’t say they are comparable.  The 5D is hands down better in the sample video.  I would like to see similar test with a Galaxy SII and and the 4S.

    This comparison is irrelevant as no self respecting photographer would ever replace a camera like that one with an iPhone. I’m starting to see a lot of these useless comparisons for the iPhone 4S against all manner of gadgets and truthfully, whats the point? Is anyone getting paid to do this? This won’t make any loyalists of any other gadget buy this phone. So please quit wasting your time. Still, the video does look good for having been shot on a phone.

    I hit the fullscreen button, and this is not HD by any stretch. It may have been at some point, but the compression the publisher used was so great as to render any real comparison impossible. This was a pointless, apples to oranges comparison to begin with, and pulling a stunt like this just further delegitimizes it.
