Cool Link: Ars Technica Gives Us A Preview of iPhone 4′s Camera
When the lost iPhone 4 prototype turned up on Gizmodo several weeks ago, I dug a little deeper and wrote a follow up piece focusing on the iPhone 4′s camera. It looks like I was pretty close.
With the iPhone 4 street date just a few days away, Chris Foresman on Ars Technica takes us on a more in-depth tour of both of the iPhone 4′s cameras. It’s a great read with a lot of in-depth information and specs on the new camera.
In all, the iPhone 4 offers a lot of photo and video power for the average user—some may even find it enough to consider eschewing a standalone point-and-shoot still camera or compact camcorder. Those with more serious imaging needs won’t be ditching a DSLR or 3-CCD video camera anytime soon, but there are a few welcome improvements for casual use. Judging from the samples Apple has provided so far, the improved camera hardware looks like it will be a solid performer.

Many of us will have our hands on one on Thursday. It looks like the iPhone 4 camera will be a significant improvement over the 3GS camera and a huge improvement over a 2G/3G camera. I’m looking forward to the wider angle of view and the greatly improved light sensitivity. Here’s hoping that iPhone photo apps catch up to the new hardware soon.
