Following the posting of a hands-on video of the iPhone 4S, AppVV has also apparently posted the first consumer photo taken with an iPhone 4S. The photo above was taken with an iPhone 4S and measures in at 3264 x 2448 pixels.

EXIF data is quite easy to manipulate and the image has taken a pass through Photoshop in order to add the watermark, but given the existence of the hands-on video, the photo is likely authentic.

As part of its promotional materials for the iPhone 4S posted following last week's media event, Apple included full-resolution sample photos, but the new image from AppVV offers an example of the quality of photos users can expect simply from snapping a quick photo. And last month, a photo apparently taken by an Apple engineer using an iPhone 4S briefly appeared on Flickr, with the official specs for the iPhone 4S camera announced last week all but confirming that the photo was indeed taken by the device.

Wow, what an improvement. I am still happy with the quality of my 4 though.

8MP will make no difference to the image quality other than the files will be bigger and will allow you to blow them up to the size of roughly A4. The real difference will be the now, F2.4 aperture. Low light photos will be less noisy and of higher quality. This is really isn't a key selling point for the 4S. In my eyes, the key selling point is Siri, even then, they're pushing it.

Alright, iMoney. Take a photo and print. There's an App for that and you can finance all your Apple purchases, not to mention exotic cars and stuff.

While it is a nice photo, it's about as useful as that plate of sushi that was accidentally posted on Flickr. Can AppVV walk outside and take a picture of some scenery?

Its what you would expect for a 2011 phone that costs as much as it does, nothing special.

I disagree. I've never seen a photo from a $200 (or even $300 for that matter) Android phone with photos that look this good. Outdoor shots, yes, but indoor, no.

If by "exotic cars" you mean NASA rockets, then you have a deal.

This is why I'm considering this iPhone next year.

I thought Apple was just playing the numbers game when announcing 8 MP, but it's crazy how sharp it is down to 1:1 zoom, and then the new camera speed on top of that...

I can see the spider next to the 1 in the top right corner of the bill!

Yeah, that's an impressive picture. ;)

the upgraded camera (extra lens and MP increase) is the sole reason i'm planning to get the 4s over the 4. can't wait!
