Me impressed? Oh hell no! Compare these photos with a 3.2 MP cam of k800i without using flash. Then compare.
and yeah i'm not impressed. Not even a little bit.

    nokian95 user, 21 Jun 2010not impresive photos.my n95 cam can match iphone 4 cam..the... moreRubbish, the iPhone 4 has a sensor that keeps the 1.7µm pixel size the same as the 3.2 Megapixel 3GS, combined with the lens it's 28mm.

    The original files looks really good, way better than anything my N82 can do, and it won the camera phone of the year award.

    Xenon is only good for still shots.

      You should compare with the current Nokia flagship, the N97 with it's paltry nVGA...

      ...what a joke, it isn't even full VGA it's got a strip cut off to make it widescreen.

        Stephane(swiss), 21 Jun 2010Wanted true and real tests realise by users and night pictu... moreno matter how high power of the LED there still can't compare to xenon.. because LED:
        - LED doesn't emit white colour & LED light usually having poor colour rendering (a white colour light from LED may bright up a black object yellow in colour)
        - LED require more longer time to light up to highest brightness as compare to xenon (cannot use fast shutter speed)

          kannuchi, 21 Jun 2010When will Apple iPhone post some pictures NOT UNDER SUNLIGH... moreI totally agree with you! No point in showing pics taken in ideal lighting conditions. Even poor camera can make good photo in bright sunlight. The rub is when lighting is poor - how do pics look then?

              I seriously want something like a homescreen, then you can click a button that takes you to the main menu. But on this, the main menu is the homescreen *cries* Lol, I don't know what phone to get yet, iPhones are very overpriced.

                Vidoe seems pretty good, but not the best. Still shots are pretty poor close up, but saying that, I'm not interested in taking pics with my phone.

                        Not that close to Nokia N8 quality (which really can compare with a digicam plus it has a xenon), but pretty good quality for a phone. Big step for Apple anyway.

                            When will Apple iPhone post some pictures NOT UNDER SUNLIGHT.

                            Of course shots taken under sunlight produces FAR BETTER obviously than those not in that situation.

                            Apple, give us some more pictures in the darker rooms or areas!

                            Apple really deceives lots of people, whew!

                                The difference between the original video file and the one available on YouTube is huge. Download of the file is a must.

                                  Download the original file (linked above the video in the article). The YouTube video has compression!

                                    to be honest, iphone 4 has failed to impress me. my 5800 could deliver same or even better picture quality. too bad :(

                                        Impressive! At least the Iphone is coping up as far as the camera is concern.
