In cameras, megapixels matter. But, there is a lot more to the story than that. There focal depth, pixel size and so on make a tremendous difference. One of the iPhone 4 cameras is a 5 megapixel device. And it is pretty amazing. I'm no photographer, but I have wanted to be able to take photos on my phone that I'm not ashamed of. I now can.
The above photo was taken in a small cafe - it was the centerpiece on the table. The color range is fantastic and the detail is quite good too. This image is completely un-retouched.
Another huge improvement is the fact that there is now an LED flash built in. It can be set to On, Off or Auto. This means that you can still take photos in all sorts of lighting that you wouldn't be able to in the past. At the right is a photo taken in very low light, but yet the flash provided great fill light.
In addition, you can also run the flash a light during video recording sessions. Did I mention video?
Video Goes HD
The iPhone 4 can now record high-definition video at 720p. The quality is fantastic for such a small, portable device. I'm not actually going to link to video here, but I will say that being able to shoot video, edit it with iMovie on the iPhone and post it directly to YouTube is likely going to usher in a massive influx of video from a lot of people, at a lot of places.
Screen-tastic
What ties all of this media together is the fact that the image quality on the screen has increased dramatically. The Retina display provides an immensely gratifying experience when you are taking video, shooting still photos or just using the device.
I tip my hat to Apply on this one.
