IPhone 6 camera vs HTC Re. And other factors?
I'm traveling abroad for 6 months and was considering buying the HTC Re point and shoot camera.
I'm stuck asking myself the question of 'is it worth it?' Being would it be that much better than the plain iPhone 6 camera?
-Does anyone know how the camera and video shots compare?
I think it would be nice to have something that is small, and easy to point and shoot, and would help when my phone battery is low. Any thoughts?
The slow motion video and burst mode on iphone is pretty cool features.
Many people have complained about the photo quality on the iPhone 6 (do a Google search), despite Apple's promotion and advertising otherwise. If you want to make sure you get good pictures, I suggest you also take a camera.
Have you thought about where you're going to store and save all the pictures you take over 6 months? HINT: Don't keep them on your phone and in your camera due to the risk of losing everything. Take a computer or other storage device with you and/or have multiple SD memory cards for your camera.
HTC is primarily a cellphone manufacturer. They are not known for good cameras. If you want easy to use cameras on the cheap side, go for a Fujifilm Finepix. If you want it easy and last long, get a Sony Cybershot. If you want to add great optics to that, get a Pentax. Ifyou want the camera to go literally everywhere you go, grab a Ricoh WG.
Reviews say that the image quality is similar to that of a common smartphone. If you have a smartphone, you will be disappointed as you won't get any better photo or video out of it.
The problem is the sensor. Smartphones have the smallest sensors, and as a consequence, also have the smallest pixels. The small pixels is really the cause as to why the images and video from smartphones are so poor.
You're spending so much time, effort and money on this 6-month trek, why use such low-end, poor-quality equipment. Get yourself a decent camera. Even a used Canon G series will outperform any smartphone in both video and photos. You can pick up a used G10, for example, for around $130 from keh.com
- Which camera is better: An old General Imaging x500 Digital Camera or an iPhone 7 front camera? It looks like an iPhone only offers 7 MP while this camera boasts 16 MP but this camera is so old and looks worse at least on its own screen. I'm confused
- What is the best bang for your buck video camera for retro style filming at 24 fps, 4K resolution, and no camera judder? Below $1,250? I use an anamorphic adapter lens for an iPhone 6s Plus(+filmic pro) and while the footage is 10 times better than basic iPhone footage, I can't help but notice the jerkiness of edged objects at 24 frames even when I'm holding the phone as still as I can. I've experimented with different frames, shutter speeds, ISO
- Is it true that iPhones can only Bluetooth to other iPhones and no other device? I was thinking of buying either a iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S4, but a friend of mine said that iPhones can only transfer files to other iPhones via Bluetooth, which sucks.
- Iphone camera only works in camera app, not any other apps I have an iphone 5, and the camera shutter won't open on any apps other than the camera app itself. It does not work in Facebook app, facetime, kik, or anything else. Apparently, my iphone was taken into some repair place to make that happen. And I NEED a fix for this, it is not jailbroken, and has IOS 7 on it.
