Apple posts gallery of pics taken with iPhone 4S

If you click on the "Download full-resolution photo" box the squirrel one is shown in a resolution of 3264 x 2448 and the Device model is iPhone 4S. Looking at the "Get Info" of the pic shows exposure time, etc., etc. LyleH

Great squirrel. Wonder how they got so close without getting their nose scratched.

I'm guessing they set the iPhone cam up to take pics using a timer (like , snap a shot every 10 seconds or whatever) and placed a peanut or 100 by the camera to attract the squirrels. I'm guessing the pic came out so well due to planning and luck. Cool shot, though.
The squirrels are part of an exhibit; they are stuffed.

Maybe they hacked the photo tag, just kidding. What's the date and I'm going to assume there's no "last modified on date".

Actually I'm pretty impressed by some of the photos out of my iPhone 4 if the lighting is right, inside they're pretty
bad and the LED flash doesn't help much.

you know, I"m no fanboy, but I could be persuaded on the merits of a decent phone cam/video cam alone.

(still not interested in a data plan, though)

The decent camera/video camera is one of the best features of any smartphone, and the iPhone specifically, since inception. I have many good pictures from my iPhones which wouldn't have been taken by my other cameras since they aren't with me at all times. When I got the iP4 with it's 720p videocam, it became the best feature for me as now I can take videos anywhere as well as my videocam is always with me. My only complaint has been addressed with the iP4s - image stabilization for video. I can get seasick watching the full screen HD videos from my phone sitting in front of a 32" monitor. A bit of IS would mitigate that somewhat.

I might be impressed

Who cares.

The web is full of great third party pics taken with the iPhone 4. Apple lied about the quality of that camera too, no doubt, but through a fluke, a lot of people have taken a lot of great shots.

Only idiots think Apple is trying to compare this to a 1D MkII or even some of the better PnSs. And only idiots would make that comparison themselves.


but what you don't see are the "I'm out with my friends in a dark bar" photos because there would be so much low-light noise it would be embarrassing.

Which is not only true of every other cellphone camera, but a *lot* of PnSs as well. Nobody is saying that this is a camera for any possible occasion.

The best camera you have is the one with you when you want to take a picture. Apple said that at the Event. It's been said a lot before that, and Apple realizes that a lot of people have stopped carrying the "second" camera, the non-pro camera because the 4's camera is really good.

So despite the fact that Apple certainly photoshopped the images and that they were taken with a 1D and not the 4S, (yes, Apple hacked the EXIF) there will be some great pics posted shortly after the 4S ships.

Shame, SHAME on you pinkoss, for shilling the gallery for Apple. I downloaded some of those "unretouched" photos and once I opened them up off line, they were so disgustingly inferior that I'm going to take an awl to the lens as soon as I get the 4S. I won't be a party to this you-can’t-believe-it’s-on-a-phone camera hoax.

Yeah, 'cause Apple totally faked them.
