I’ll be the first to admit that the camera in the iPhone 3G was passable at best. That still did not keep me from making the most of it before something better came along. That something, the camera in the iPhone 4, I dare say can match or best many of the compact digital cameras on the market.
Patrick Rhone at Minimal Mac, in part of a complaint about the iPhone SLR lens mount.
I’m also puzzled by it (since for $200 or so you can buy an old DSLR, or a good chunk of a new one, and it’ll have a better sensor, and be no less portable), but that commentary also pretty much explains why I don’t apply filters to my iPhone photographs, and probably never will- the camera is good enough.
