Potential First Released Photo Taken by an iPhone 5

The skeptic in me says that someone faked the EXIF data though, and it could be shot by anything. :( It's just that Apple campus seem a bit too good to be true. :p

A picture is news on here now?

I'm glad it isn't just me.

I guess they were relying on this picture to say a 1000 words. -__-
 
Doesn't look very impressive - blurd. Hopefully not a representation of the best photo it can take.
 
Fake or not, exciting.

I've never owned a compact camera. I only own bulky SLR cameras and they get bigger and bigger each iteration (I own Nikon). I'd love to have a quality compact to slip in my pocket for any old moment.

The iPhone 4 is great, but if the new one has even better optics, I can't wait. I don't own an iPhone now, but can't wait at all for when I can have one. Come February, I'll get one, finally.

If it can suffice for a lot of situations, I'll be as happy as everything. Then, I'll sell my SLR and get a rangefinder, as I can't stand the weight.

I hate myself for scrolling up and looking, even though i knew better :p

TallmanNY- the lens is slightly faster -f/2.4 instead of f/2.8. Not much, but it's sumthin :)
 
That speck of wasabi is driving me nuts. Very distracting.

An Apple engineer should know better. ;)

However, the GPS location points to China?

Ah, -122 makes it cupertino...

It's a bit sketchy though, that is you search for 'Cupertino CA' on Google Maps, the map is exactly centered on 37.323008,-122.032185 which is pretty much the same location that's in the exif...

I don't know where people got that GPS data but my Photoshop RAW data shows this :

</exif:SubjectArea>
<exif:SensingMethod>2</exif:SensingMethod>
<exif:ExposureMode>0</exif:ExposureMode>
<exif:WhiteBalance>0</exif:WhiteBalance>
<exif:SceneCaptureType>0</exif:SceneCaptureType>

<exif:GPSLatitude>37,19.93N</exif:GPSLatitude>
<exif:GPSLongitude>122,1.82W</exif:GPSLongitude>
<exif:GPSAltitudeRef>0</exif:GPSAltitudeRef>
<exif:GPSAltitude>11847/160</exif:GPSAltitude>
<exif:GPSTimeStamp>2011-07-22T18:53:12Z</exif:GPSTimeStamp>

That puts it in Caloocan City, Philippines

I'm guessing it's an iPhone 4 knock off with a better camera.

Or the EXIF data has been manipulated.

Bring it on. Does not look like 8MP though.

This may be a big surprise to many but contrary to what camera manufacters like consumers to beleive MegaPixels DO NOT relate the the quality of an image, mearly its size, megapixel simply means "1,000,000 pixels", it tells nothing of the actual quality of the image. While this is well known to people into photography its still widely beleived by consumers. In many cases increased megapixels can DECREASE the quality of an image(!) if the MP count is greater than the capabilities of the cameras sensor.

If this is a reflection of the camera, and not some nice nice sushi, it appears to have rounded edges (the 4 does not) . . .
