The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus received an updated iSight camera that allows you to take 12 megapixel photos and record video in 4K resolution. In Apple claim that the camera flagship innovations creates clear and detailed photos, and shoots videos with a resolution nearly four times more than 1080p HD video. The authors of the project Fstoppers decided to compare the capabilities of the 4K-shooting iPhone 6s and mirrorless cameras, Sony A7R-II in the early summer.
In the new Sony camera is mounted full frame image sensor type CMOS back-illuminated (BSI CMOS) resolution 42.4 megapixels. It is equipped with image stabilizer, the principle of which is based on the shift sensor. The manufacturer evaluates the effectiveness of the stabilizer 4.5 f-stops.

Of course, the miracle did not happen and the iPhone 6s’s been hard to battle with top-end mirrorless camera. If under normal viewing the quality difference is not so noticeable, then increasing 4K video iPhone 6s noise and pixelation more visible than the Sony A7R-II. The authors note that the majority of users does not own 4K monitors or TVs, because most will be watching these videos in 1080p resolution.
To compare the quality of the 4K-shooting iPhone 6s and Sony A7R-II is on the video below:
