iPhone 4S: Photo Camera Performance

Submitted by on October 16, 2011 – 9:46 pm 6 Comments

Here’s our quick-and-dirty test of the new iPhone 4S 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus. For comparison, we took some of the same photos using a Canon G10 14.7-megapixel compact camera with a 28-140mm wide zoom lens. All photos have been corrected in Photoshop by a professional photographer to produce the best possible result for each camera. iPhone 4S was used in HDR mode.

We also took a few HDR photos with the Canon camera for comparison. The idea here is not to prove that a dedicated photo camera, that costs almost twice as much as the iPhone, can take better photos, but to show how close the cell phone camera technology came to rivaling portable digital cameras. It should also be mentioned that the Canon G10 is among the best cameras in its class.
