iPhone 4 with DSLR Lens

July 6, 2010Techby Staff959 Views

Apple’s new iPhone 4 has exceeded the expectations of many, yet its 5-megapixed camera is outdated compared to some of its competitors like HTC’s Evo 4G, which has an 8-megapixel camera. A recent prototype around the net shows how a distinct character created a special tripod to attach a DSLR lens to the iPhone 4. A creation like this can certainly help a traveling photographer who is not keen to carrying equipment around or interest one who wants to enter the world of photography.

    You do realize the only difference between a “manual” lens and the “DSLR” lens is the camera it’s attached to right? All lenses have focus rings around them, I can switch off auto focus on my 24-105 and focus it manually if I wanted, hell I’m pretty sure I could toss it on an old school EOS Canon and use it that way too.

    The megapixel number is probably the least important property of a digital camera, yet it’s most obsessed over, especially with respect to point-and-shoot and mobile phone cameras. Are you planning on printing your mobile phone images 40×60 cm? Then don’t worry about the number of megapixels.

    The size and sensitivity of the image sensor as well as the lens quality are both infinitely more important.

    I recommend reading Ken Rockwell’s article called The Megapixel Myth:

    Outdated compared to an 8MP camera? More MP does not make a better sensor, its stupid marketing that keeps driving the numbers up.

    Cute novelty… but this whole idea that it should “help a traveling photographer who is not keen to carrying equipment around or interest one who wants to enter the world of photography.” is silly, to say the least – it’s the same frakkin’ size as a DSLR – even withOUT that ugly lens mount!

    Still cool in a novel sort of way. My only issue: it has to use the iPhone lens anyway right? So the photos would just be bigger and have manual zoom and less need for a high ISO – but still be pretty crappy.

    Megapixels should matter very little for the average consumer. Anyone concerned about their camera having enough megapixels wouldn’t be trying to take decent photos with an iPhone anyway. Megapixels is a measure of how large an image can be reproduced without losing quality. Unless you’re taking photos for billboards, 4 megapixels is more than enough for the job, 5 is excessive, and mounting an SLR lens onto an iPhone would do nothing to increase megapixels. Anyone seriously considering mounting this thing on their phone for any reason beyond novelty might want to do some reading about how camera’s work before they go out in the world thinking they are going to take some badass pix. Also, they should be punished for Apple fanboyism.

    maybe one day in the future, camera is just one part of cellphone, or cellphone is just one part of camera, maybe there will be a thing that instead of all of them…is like computer, cellphone, camera, video game system, and so on…all in one piece…wondering how will people call it in that day? just call it a MACHINE! human culture nowadays really shaped by technology/the machines…don’t forget doesn’t matter what camera, phone, computer and so on you using, they won’t make you good, it’s the people who using the machines make them good…kids live with full of “fantastic machines” in every moment of their lives, one thing that many of them have been forgetting, is the skills to handle those machines…I’ve been seeing people using all the high-tech machines, and many of these people don’t really know how to use their machines…

    i wouldn’t completely discredit this like so many have already. it’s an interesting concept and i woud love to try one out. seems like it could only be older lenses though. the iphone 4 cant communicate with the newer lenses which lack a manual aperture control, otherwise, i think it’s an interesting idea.

    A lens with that focal length on such a small sensor will be a super telephoto. Useless.

    Also, if you write “yet its 5-megapixed camera is outdated compared to some of its competitors like HTC’s Evo 4G, which has an 8-megapixel camera”, it tells me you no nothing about image sensor physics and likely photography.

    A higher resolution sensor does NOT mean a lower resolution sensor is outdated.

    I agree and disagree. I do think the benefit is minimal but more importantly I believe that it will expose people to professional photography. Not saying that the iphone4 plus the lens will create professional photos…… but will entice people to learn more about the art and purchase a dslr camera or AT LEAST a point and shoot that can capture raw images like the Canon s90. Might even benefit the HD recording as well. Theres already video on the iPhone4 vs Canon 7D ….video recording skills. http://vimeo.com/12925855

    Hmmm….In a way I agree with some of you regarding how this can be redundant. At the same time there are amazing application on the iPhone that enhances your photos so this sort of technology might prove useful. Plus you have the HD video record that would have a greater capacity on zooming or getting the effect of a 1.4 lens on the videos.
