I absolutely LOVE this camera. This is why I bought an iPhone, so much easier to carry around than my Canon EOS (which I'm still in love with) but to capture spur of the moment pictures the 4S is so perfect.

Will Camera+ update its app to use the Volume up button now...Apple removed it previously because they claimed 'user confusion'. Now that it is native to the regular camera app, will camera+ update it again?
If they did I would prob never use the reg cam app...I currently use it for shots I want to take of myself with something in the background.

I'm no programmer but I remember someone on here saying that Apple hasn't given third-party developers an API to allow them to do this currently, so it looks unlikely at the moment.

Next time you run across that situation you can better expose the berries by doing one of two things.
1. If using the standard camera app, get the white sky out of your photo if possible - different angle or what not. The sensor is trying to expose the sky correctly since it is silly bright and unfortunately darkens the berries quite a bit. The iPhone is supposed to expose and focus on the same spot but sometimes the background can overtake the subject and force the camera to still expose incorrectly. i.e. cameras are stupid no matter how expensive they are.
2. If using the camera+ app, focus on the berries and also shift your exposure (using the aperture symbol - the circle "thingy") to the berries. The sky will go nuclear but the berries will be exposed properly.
Finally, the above was unsolicited so if you didn't want the above please just ignore
Thanks for that advise,
The best camera is the one you have with you of course.
I have a bunch here:

Actually, the new release of the Top Camera app now includes the up volume button shutter, so looks like Apple is okay with it as of iOS 5. Maybe Camera+ will add it as well.
I'll definitely use my iPhone for some photo stuff that previously I would have delegated to a cheap point and shoot which is awesome! But the second I sniff that an area is very nice/artsy I'll be bringing my DSLR for sure
thats a beautiful pic, i recently started taking pictures of insects on plants but i have a fear of bugs lol i wonder if anyone has a pic of bumblebees with their fat paws trying to hold something..
oh and this pic could be made into a beautiful canvas
I hardly ever zoom, only when i'm taking a pic of the wife or the dog i tend to remember that there is a zoom
My wife and I just built this house last year and moved in last January.
Pic taken with an iPhone 4.

that's an awesome deck.. decks and the nice weather makes me not miss south fl so much
I took this one a couple of weeks ago..
Taken with 4S touched up with Camera + and then Big Lens
I practically never use the digital zoom on any camera, never mind a cellphone, you can typically always achieve better zoom results after the shot in a photo editing package. If it was an optical zoom then I would use it quite a bit.
Usually crop afterwards in iPhoto or Aperture when you can see the picture better on a larger screen.
Taken with iPhone 4s + olloclip macro lens. No editing at all, except a little brightening in one or two. More here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58220292@N04/sets/72157628018903216/with/6298649242/
