Your iPhone probably won’t replace your Canon EOS 5D. However, if you’re still going to shoot on an iPhone because:
“it’s cool”
it’s all you have
you heard of its feats at the Zacuto shootout
Tangerine, a recent Sundance hit, was shot on an iPhone
you can get enough friends with iPhones to shoot multi-cam
you’re entering into one of many mobile film festivals and contests
you saw the Bentley Motors commercial shot on iPhone and cut on iPad
more and more music videos are being shot on iPhones
—or for any other reason—there are only a few

In the past five to six years, camera technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and, in that time, cinema-quality video has become significantly more accessible. Consider the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K. This camera has a Super-35mm-sized sensor with a global shutter, and it shoots 4K raw. Ten years ago, a camera with specs like that would cost more to rent for one day than to buy the Blackmagic Production Camera

The widespread adoption of 4K video isn't a question of if but, rather, a mash-up of when and how. There are a handful of ways that we already consume the format. When you visit a modern movie theater, the odds are high that you’ll be screening a 4K digital video projection. Netflix, YouTube, and Vimeo are all experimenting with 4K streaming options—but most of us don't have the right kind of hardware to appreciate them. Premium 4K or Ultra

Large image sensors are among the most in-demand components of video cameras, and it's easy to see why. Relatively recent advances in image-sensor technology have allowed even advanced hobbyists to produce world-class footage. However, this is only half of the story. The recent popularity of interchangeable-lens camera systems is perhaps the single greatest factor driving our emerging creative freedoms.
"... with lens adapters, your creative options are practically limitless."
When it comes to choosing camera gear, lenses are one of your

Whether this trend is spurred by the design aspects of the cameras or by manufacturers advancing their capabilities, the end result is that mirrorless cameras can now deliver up to 4K video in a small, lightweight form factor that most DSLRs cannot match.
Evolving from their humble origins as consumer-oriented, point-and-shoot cameras,

4K is on the way. In fact, it’s already here, and now is the time to prepare yourself for this next milestone in the evolution of video technology. The gradual yet inevitable implementation of 4K standards is likely to be the most significant revolution in video production since the transition from SD to HD or from tapes to solid-state media. Some may dread the change, as it represents both the beginning of a whole new learning curve and a potentially significant investment in new equipment. But rest assured that compared to the SD/HD

Lens selection is an important decision for any Director of Photography. Lenses from different manufacturers and different eras offer unique characteristics to better suit the director’s vision for a film or scene. While color grading gives you the flexibility to adjust images in post, there are intrinsic qualities inherent in the construction of the lens itself that can't be fully replicated. And with on-set grading becoming more commonplace, the ability of a DP to create a "look" on set with just lens selection can endear them to the
