Camera has always been a great selling point for iPhone as it always features one of the best cameras among smartphones. But in recent years, as the smartphone market is rapidly developing, smartphone manufacturers like Samsung has surpassed iPhone regarding photo shooting. But when it comes to video shooting, iPhone is still the best as the videos you shoot on iPhone is more clear, stable and smooth. So if you own an iPhone and love shooting videos, don't hesitate to use your iPhone.

Shooting videos on iPhone is convenient, but for video enthusiast, the only thing that's stopping them from shooting videos on iPhone is the limited storage capacity on iPhone, especially the 16GB varient. And since Apple doesn't provide iPhone users with expandable storage, there's limited things you can do to store more videos, especially when you want to keep all the videos on your iPhone instead of transferring them to your PC. One thing you can do is compress the videos on your iPhone to make more rooms for new videos.

By compressing the videos on your iPhone, you'll have more storage space on your iPhone for new videos and you can still have the old videos stored on your device. To do so, you are going to need a video converter which is capable of compressing the video to a smaller size and keeping the video in high quality.
