The Popular iPhone 4S Camera Gets Tested

November 29th, 2011 by mobibass | Posted under Apple, Mobile Phones.

When the iPhone 4S came out, it had a much stronger camera than last year’s iPhone. This camera is so popular that it is taking up much of the work of a popular photograph site called flickr. Read on to find out how good this iPhone 4S camera is and how people have been using it.

Upgrades Make This Camera Shine
The iPhone 4S is the natural culmination of the former iPhone 4. The “s” in the “4S” name signifies “speed”, just like the iPhone 3GS. The newest iPhone has been upgraded with a dual core A5 processor that really makes it shine. But the camera has been upgraded as well. The old camera was rated for five megapixels. The new one is rated for eight megapixels. The difference is giving some second thoughts about needing to buy a digital camera, since their iPhone has such an awesome one.

This Smartphone Is Popular On Flickr
Of all the smartphones that upload photos to the flickr website, the iPhone 4S is number two in popularity. Guess which is number one? You would be right if you guessed the older iPhone 4. But the iPhone 4S has only been out for a couple of months yet it is rocketing in popularity, thanks to its advanced camera.

The Canon And iPhone 4S Comparison
The group over at Popular Photography have taken an interest in the camera on the iPhone 4S. They did a few comparisons with regular “point and shoot” digital cameras. The final results are a bit ambiguous, but some points are plain. The Canon PowerShot S95 was chosen to go up against the iPhone 4S and its camera. The color accuracy was higher in the iPhone than in the Canon. The resolution was close, but the Canon won in this category . In the noise category, the iPhone lost decisively.

New Construction Of The Camera Lenses
Apple made the camera in the iPhone 4S with new work on the lens. It is actually five lenses in one camera. If it seems that this would block more light, the effect is opposite. This makes the smartphone take clearer, more accurate photos. The electronic chip that handles the digital end of things was placed away from the lens, making the camera 73 percent more sensitive to light.

The Chip Inside Advances The Resolution
The faster dual core processor also changes the high definition video capabilities to the upper 1080p level in the new iPhone. The old iPhone 4 only took video up to the 720p format. The price of the 4S is around $199 dollars depending on which carrier is chosen.
