![iPhone 4S Video Shows Off Astounding Quality [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/03l0NMzvMWGW3SoEw1uSA5i/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020331.jpg)
Just how good is the video camera on the iPhone 4S? If a short video from Benjamin Dowie is any indication, we're going to chalk it up to "amazing."
Dowie shot the footage just after getting his iPhone 4S and as he writes on Vimeo, "Couldn't believe it came out of a phone." Looking at the footage, we're inclined to agree.
Dowie gives strong marks to the automatic stabilization, but what really caught our eye was the amazing depth of field. The DoF on my Panasonic GF-1 with a 20mm prime lens just barely outpaces the iPhone 4S -- and that's really saying something.
Of course, in the hands of a pro-shooter, any camera can produce good looking footage. Dowie, who runs Beanpole Productions in Australia, is a pro. Your own footage may not look quite as beautiful.
Still, it's impressive to see just how much camera optics are improving. Phones have already replaced the day-to-day pocket camera for many users -- with the death of the Flip and improvements to video sensors, phones could start to replace low-level video cameras too.
