Apple iPhone 4S camera review
Compared with....
We compared the images from the Apple iPhone 4S with images from two previous generation iPhones, plus a Nokia N8 (which was the winner of our last camera phone group test, and regarded up to now as the best camera on a phone) and a Canon Powershot S95 compact camera. The results were interesting and surprising, with the iPhone 4S the clear and unanimous winner in a blind test with the WDC staff. See for yourself in this example...
These images were taken from the roof of the What Digital Camera offices, looking out over the London skyline. The images were taken in good light but each phone/camera was supported on a monopod for stability, to rule out camera shake.
The Canon S95 was used in jpeg mode. Admittedly, better performance could be
achieved from it by shooting raw, albeit with some extra processing
work, and the Canon may well triumph in lower light. We'll be conducting a full, in depth comparision test shortly and will post our findings.
Have your say!

I'm amazed and delighted.. wanted an iphone for the portability of music creating and other apps that I have on my ipad, and also wanted a camera.. and couldn't decide.. maybe I'll just have to get an iphone then, the picture quality is fantastic! Who needs a superzoom with that kind of cropping!?

In reference to the 'Cons' listed above, just wanted to point out that there is actually a dedicated shutter button when in camera mode on the iPhone 4/4S - the '+' button which is normally used to increase the volume can also be used to take a picture.
