coming from a Storm2 9550 with a 3.2mp camera that looked grainy ALL THE TIME! this camera is amazing :) looks almost as good as my Canon 40D DSLR (almost ;) )


EDIT: im changing my opinion... the pics look great on the phone. but NOT on the computer. very grainy. not impressed. Not when you go here Apple - iPhone 4S - Shoot amazing photos with the 8MP camera. and look at the pictures they have taken on the "4s"... yeah sure...

There are a lot variables that can cause grain in the pictures...my wife is a film producer and also a photographer, and uses a Canon 7D like its attached to her hip. She told me that the phone can simulate DSLR type quality, but it has to be in certain scenarios and with certain features activated/not activated...she was telling me that you can actually get BETTER pictures while not using the HDR feature, as long as the lighting is appropriate. There are tricks to it, but the 4S is definitely capable of taking pictures in large resolution with very little grain to them...the iPhone 4 was also capable of this.

The most important point though that she made to me...and I'm making to you is that the 4S is NOT an SLR camera...and truthfully, it's specs aren't really on the level of most mid range point and shoots these days, but the quality you get out of it is certainly impressive...and amazing for a phone camera.

So as I said before could apple put even a better camera than an 8mp in their phones but they chose not to and save it for the next phone like the iphone5? What's the next step up from an 8mp?
