And that is because you were there and know exactly what the light was like? Please.

It looks like a pretty good picture for a camera phone, balanced for daylight, taken without a flash in natural cool light... regardless of what camera was used.]]>Apr 29th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/Apr 29th 2007 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/

Is there anything more interesting and/or pathological than that peculiar breed of human that is so *very* uninterested in the iPhone that they read iPhone articles and then take the time to comment on how much the iPhone sucks and how much they absolutely *do not* care about it?

I think it's more a case of reading the comment submissions than the article to be fair. Apple and MS posts are always so very dramatic and impassioned as you well know, and, are demonstrating.

Microsoft wants you to believe that if you buy an iPhone you'll end up looking like that! Err, her?

apple could have at least got a picture out before this, of something so hip and cool that it could be classed as pop art. i cant wait to see what apple is going to have to do to get out of this one. ]]>Apr 29th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/Apr 29th 2007 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/Apr 29th 2007 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/Apr 29th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/
--- the full size photo at MacRumors looks to be great quality IMO]]>Apr 29th 2007 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/29/is-this-a-photo-from-an-iphone/
Really, this photo is only interesting because it's the first we've seen taken with the iPhone, and it's the kind of very casual, throwaway type of photo that you would use an iPhone to take. So let's see how it stacks up.

In terms of the photo itself, I thought the face came out quite well, with good detail. The background was muddy and poor. My initial reaction was that the photo wasn't bad considering the abysmal lighting conditions. It looks like it must have been taken using the built-in flash in a room that was otherwise dark. When I had a Canon Digital Elph (a 2mp digital camera), I remember my flash pictures not being too different.

The picture is certainly far superior to pictures taken with my T-Mobile Sidekick II, thank goodness.

Isn't it interesting that smartphone cameras in general don't go abovt 2 megapixels? Last time I looked, the Blackberry Pearl and Sidekick were 1.3 and the Treo was a shameful under one megapixel. I know about the Nokia and Sony Erickson cameraphones that are 5megapixels, bjut my impression is that they are otherwise more like ordinary phones.

Are most of the people who hang out here Europeans? The American market seems to be pretty backward. I just looked through cingular.com's list of all camera phones and the even the most expensive ones are 2 megapixels or lower. I thought I remembered that the 5 megapixel Nokia and Sony Eircksson phones were very expensive ($500+) niche product and I appear to be right.

Of course the iPhone is an equally expensive niche product, but it seems to me that for the market it's operating in, the camera is likely to be competitive with all other mainstream offerings. After all, if you buy the iPhone, you're buying it for the design, and we can surely understand that was very expensive.

My hunch is that most smartphones don't go to 5 megapixel because the sensor would increase the price considerably, and because battery life might be dismal. I'd be curious to hear more discussion on this.
