Is your camera quality any better or worse than this?

[Sobe]

if you look at the pics from the OP you'll also notice one thing in common: lots of bright light.

I find that the iPhone's cam does best in sort of medium settings -- not too bright, not too dark, not much movement, it's the goldilocks camera =D

That food looks delicious! As I am on a diet could you please tell me whether that plate contains food that is less than 5000 calories?

Photos look good. Not sure about the dog though (the pet).

is this an iPhone camera thread or a show off your car thread? If it is the latter, game over.....mashoutposse wins.

I took this pic earlier while running out to get some food. Every pic I take seems to have a haze or halo to it. Is this normal? Some parts of it look fine, some look really blown out whenever light is present. Even at night when there is a light in the picture it seems to have it's own halo or haze.

Not only is your camera of better quality, but so is your car. If I'm processing correctly: Nice Jag!

don't believe everything you see/hear on the internets....

Yah the evil interwebs

Lets just remember folks, its iPhone, not iCamera. If you want to take decent pics, get a decent P&S. Just my opinion

I think the point was more along the lines of "is this normal" rather than "is this a good photo"

Remember, the iPhone is auto-focus, so if the phone can't pick a focal ground, you'll picture will be hazy.

iPhone camera is a fixed focus camera. There's no focusing it needs to do.

I have found that one of the biggest problems I have taking pictures with the iPhone, and most cell phones really, is that I always seem to wind up with fingerprints on the lens (or lens cover). That can make for some pretty hazy pictures. You might want to wipe it off before you snap your pictures.

When will we see an update to the camera?
Auto-focus, white balance and video.

Auto-focus, white balance and video.

Actually, for me, white balance is the one thing the current camera actually does do well! I've got no complaints on that front.

If it does get auto-focus then I'd love to see a small red ring showing where it's focusing on the screen, and a small blue ring showing wherea the exposure is measuring from. They're both auto and move around the screen, but if you WANT to touch them you can drag either ring to wherever you want it and it will stay there until you take the photo.

That would be a killer feature.

I'm very pleased with my iPhone camera picture quality. Not bad for such a handphone camera as compare to my old windows mobile, O2Mini & O2Atom.

 

[iceterminal]

Here's one of my better shots, quality wise. But in dark situations, all the pics are very very grainy.

I've been quite impressed as well:

I am impressed with the camera on the iPhone.
I've taken some really nice quality photos. Some photos just don't come out so great. It all depends on the environment you are taking the photo in.
You can always edit photos on the computer if you need to make them look better.
Plus I must add, that if you are somewhere special or want nice photos, bring your regular camera.

I've been quite impressed as well:

I got almost the same shot.

 

[Oskee2001]

Wow, that one is much nicer!!! Good work.

 

[TwiceNightly]

Here are two I took, in very different lighting conditions......

I'm very pleased with the iPhone camera, great quality for a 2MP and just fine for a mobile camera.

 

[daisuke07]

I hate the iPhone's camera because it can't even zoom-in so I never use it.

 

[sergiuria]

If you jailbreak it, you CAN zoom in

Jailbreak Camera

If you jailbreak it, you CAN zoom in

How many of your photos (posted here) are from a jailbroken phone? My non-jail break 3G doesn't seem to take pics this well.

 

[BlackMax]

My experience with the iPhone camera is that it takes fairly good pictures if you have plenty of light and the object you're photographing is not too close. If the lighting is poor or you are too close (less than 1 foot) to the object you're photographing my results have been mixed.

 

[sergiuria]

This are a couple of photos with my phone at a fishing trip

 

[iceterminal]

Most of my pictures are not even close to the quality of these other pictures. Especially the night photos. Mine are quite grainy.

Should I take it in or call Apple?
