Cool. That's your situation. The rest of us aren't a self professed professional. For the vast majority of photos we take in our everyday lives this camera works for us just fine.

This was a wonderful Ad! This is the type of commercials Apple should be running.
The last campaign (with the quick paced words followed by a "shout") was just... okay.
Personally I would've removed that irritating "shout" at the end.
But yeah really enjoyed this commercial. Personal, emotional and classy.
More like this please.

It's probably better than my point-and-shoot in most cases, and I don't have a DSLR. It's also smaller than any decent point-and-shoot, and you're more inclined to carry it with you everywhere.

I liked it until the end. The vocal actor isn't good. The rest of the ad is above average for Apple.

I use the best camera available. If I had a DSLR or a nice point-and-shoot, since I don't have a purse (since I'm a man), I wouldn't carry it around and definitely would not have it out for quick access, so that's just too bad.
The worst ad i have ever seen from apple in 20 years. It has no redeeming qualities. Especially not the cloying overdone sentimentality. As an Apple ad, it will please the Samsung ad agency who could go to town with a devastating parody. In fact its not a million miles away from that recent Instagram parody already.

I don't think you give a "rat's ass" about anything Apple makes, judging by your frustrated mood whenever you say anything. Why exactly are you here? << rhetorical question

The ad that captures about half of what I use my iPhone for is bad? You seriously like the ones with the shouting and the nerdy/creepy support guy who tells borderline lies?
Enjoyed the ad. Tasteful, focused, and it was captivating. And like others have said, something in general that everyone can relate to.
Too long would be Samsung's 2:30 adds that are all over the place talking about unicorns, security, cases, Blackberry bashing, etc. etc.
And as mentioned previously, its about branding. The general public doesn't need to know what kind of glass on the lens nor what kind of flash. The ad should wet their appetite enough to go look it up if curious, and I think it does a really good job.

Why, because the photographer sucked? I've read about 20 reviews on the S4 and most of them are saying that the S4's camera is practically identical to the iPhone 5's. Both do great in good light but produce mediocre pictures (compared to the Lumia 920 or the HTC One) in low light situations.
I always laugh at the SAFE ads: Samsung for Enterprise
They don't even say why it's safe. It's just safe. Trust us.
Ironically, it's unsafe.
how about a more objective review of the cameras from someone who actually knows something about photography instead of some random reviewer on Ars who doesn't know how to take a good picture.

Somebody at Apple sure does love black/white interracial couples. Still remember that cringe-inducing thanksgiving commercial.
Yes - unfortunately you have to. Apple isn't releasing anything new any time soon and apparently they think that the iPhone 5 is capable of competing against the S4. So for the time being, it's only consequential to compare the iPhone 5 to the S4. Unless you're willing to admit that the iPhone 5 is a dated and inferior product, of course. But I'm having the feeling that you aren't
I really like the ad, btw.

I am still on the iPhone 4S an upgrade from the 3GS (which was NOT good enough for photos) and it works just fine for me as well. It is always on me, I currently have no other camera and the one I did was just a nice point and shoot, however it was never on me unless I knew I would be taken photographs.
For the times I do take photographs it really is good enough at this time.
How is that even an issue?
Excellent ad. Beautifully done. Does everything it needs to do by connecting on an emotional level.
Should have been more like
"Capture your moment, with the worlds most loved camera"
Would have got the message across, and it also somewhat includes all the awards they've won.
But nonetheless I'll take it, because its the best ad they've put out in a loooong time
