    I'm not sure if its my monitor or the 1080p resolution, but it appears cloudy. The photos are much sharper. I wish I lived near you, I would like to see your work in person.

    It could be the (smaller than a pencil eraser) lens and internal sensors on the iPhone 6.
    I'm pretty sure, over the years, my iPhone 6 lens has acquired scratches in my pocket.
    I do the vids with the iPhone6 and the pics with a fairly decent Nikon kit camera.

    IMHO The color sensors and the lens are much better on the Nikon than what is built-in iPhone 6.
    However, the walkaround vid with the Nikon would require a much bigger (a lot mo' money) gimbal.

    I've heard/read that the color sensors on the iPhone 11 are much better than the previous models.
    I did consider getting an iPhone 11 but it does not have 5G yet. So I'm going to wait for the iPhone 12...

    NOTE: I have tried 60fps and/or 4K for a media vid and it just chokes on bandwidth when streaming...

    True...no cameras do justice to what it looks like in person. Thank you!
