To anyone who doubts the 4s Camera

Because nothing with a tiny sensor is going to look good in low light. Also the noise at base ISo still precludes a decent print. Even at smaller sizes.

I wish we could shoot raw on this thig!

It obviously still produces some noise (can't defeat physics), but side-by-side with a 4 in the same conditions, the 4S is less noisy. Guess it's using the faster lens to get away with less ISO. Or the sensor is simply built to a higher standard.

I am just using the native camera app. I actually had another 32G white, and exchanged it because I thought it was an issue with a camera, and same thing is happening again...

Have you considered user error? I haven't had one bad photo yet.

o wow blown out of focus flowers... really shows the potential

Taken today with the 4s, baby

That picture is awesome!

Here's one I took in low light conditions. My hand isn't as steady as it used to be, but overall I think it's quite good.

While there's obviously some noise, considering the light source is a 40 watt bulb off to the left rear it's pretty damn good.

Take your case off.

More than that, you can take some really advanced shots by holding down on an area until it says "AE/AF Lock" at the bottom.

VERY nice tip! Wow!

I wouldn't call that bokeh nice....but perhaps all things being considered meaning it's a cell phone camera, perhaps. Overall though, the bokeh is quite poor. Here's an illustration showing from poor to ideal (creamy) bokeh. The 4s is even worse than the bad shown here too. It produces hollow blur points. Glazed Donuts really.

I'm not a professional photographer by any means, so could you tell me why it's "poor" bokeh. Isn't bokeh an effect that some people subjectively will like, and thus some people will subjectively like one style more than another and which style looks good depends on the picture, maybe?
I don't really see how this bokeh could objectively be called poor.
