I am writing this blog post on the iPhone 4s, and I have had plenty of time to play with the built in camera. My dad asked me what kind of point and shoot camera my mom should get, and my quick reply was to just buy a new iPhone (I believe her contract was coming to an end). While I don't appreciate over consumption with the new latest and greatest, the combination of a great camera and a great mobile phone has changed the way I communicate with the world. In the past I would photograph my kids with my point and shoot, attach it to my computer, download, edit the photo, upload it to our family website, email family members notifying them of an update. Now it is seamless and quick with one device that is always in my pocket.
While you may miss having an optical zoom on the iPhone 4s, remember that zoom lenses aren't absolutely necessary. If you look at the history of great photography, almost all of the iconic images were captured on prime (non zoom) lenses. Sometimes it is good practice to physically move your body closer or further away from the subject matter.
The images are very acceptable on the camera, and I am very impressed with the 1080 HD video capture as well. As a professional commercial filmmaker, having a decent portable HD cam in my pocket is so helpful when doing location scouting. Often we are working with clients who are in different cities, and they need to see what we are seeing. The iPhone's ability to send photos or videos quickly via cell towers or wifi makes it a great tool for the photographers and filmmakers who deal with agencies or PR firms.
I am happy! A tool that consistently works well for me deserves public mention. The attached photo was treated with a 70's look via an iPhone photo app.
