What resolution will the iPhone 4's camera take for photos? I'm guessing its 720 x 1200 but thats probally just the video.

Thanks.

Higher then that. :rolleyes:

Not a 100% sure , but my Nikon d40 at 6.1 megapixels can produce 3,008 × 2,000 (6.1 effective megapixels).

lol. no its more like 2580 X 2048

5 megapixels = 5 million pixels. 2580 X 2048 = 5,283,840
 
It's 2592 x 1936, as you can see from the sample photos on Apple's website, which is 5,018,112 pixels total.

Strange aspect ratio, though. Who would'a thunk that 162:121 would be good proportions for a camera?
 
so that means blu-ray is doing the wrong resolutions....... someone should contact the studios:D:D

More correctly it's the wrong aspect ratio. 1280x720 is 1.78 (aka 16x9) and 1920x720 is 2.67 which is wider that Panavision/Super 35 (2.35).
 
Ok it is HD, but not full HD.
I don't think your understanding what people are pointing out still.

1280 x 720 = 720p
the LARGER 1920 1080 is full HD

by and by this has nothing to do with the fact that the iPhone will only output 720p lol

More correctly it's the wrong aspect ratio. 1280x720 is 1.78 (aka 16x9) and 1920x720 is 2.67 which is wider that Panavision/Super 35 (2.35).
it was more a joke of the resolution which seemed to fly over your head :p:p hehe

EDIT: aspect raio would be 16:9 - 4:3 he was talking about resolution which I was too so you not only missed the joke but came back with wrong info lol :p:p:p

But just to throw a wrench in the conversation... Panavision is actually 2.39:1 (late-era CinemaScope, now defunct, and some other 3-perf non-anamorphic formats are 2:35.1). The format is referred to as Panavision, though often, incorrectly called "Scope" in reference to CinemaScope (which was originally 2.55:1).

Panavision doesn't use Super 35, btw. It uses standard 35mm. Super 35 is either full-frame 1.37:1 (Academy) and then matted to 1.85:1 (Widescreen, or "Flat") or sometimes a three-perf 2.39:1 negative is used... but it's not anamorphic or Panavision.

:D
