iPhone Part IV - Camera

Makes good use of the 3.5-inch screen
Cropping can be done on the go
No flash
Can't shoot videos

There are various schools of thought, when it comes to the success of the iPhone. Personally, I feel this success stems from Apple’s ability in making a product ‘seemingly’ out of this world. What I mean by this is, in a very rational way, the iPhone appeals to most, not because it gives them that technological edge over others, but because it manages to integrate its existing technologies better than the other phones. The embedded iPod music player is a great example.

Features
When looked at phone from a utilitarian point of view, I have to admit that the camera just fails to grab my attention. That said, I daresay, I still enjoyed every bit of my shooting spree. The 3.5-inch screen definitely had something to do with it.

The iPhone boasts a 2 megapixel camera, and for purposes limiting to the phone itself, it does wonders. Beyond that? Well let’s see what our performance tests show. Before that, let me also point out a few missing elements that leaves a lot to be desired.


Not having flash, for instance! Every phone, worthy of so much hype, should in my opinion have a flash. This one doesn’t. Also this one doesn’t allow you to zoom, or take videos. In a strict sense, it’s simply a point-and-shoot camera phone. I still like the way the animated shutter blades close in on the screen every time you take a picture.

The iPhone allows you to instantly share your pictures through email, and also gives you a fair amount of control. You can set it as a wallpaper and crop it to reduce the size. The interface allows you to look at the thumbnails of the all the pictures taken, you can simply click on one and swipe your fingers for the next image. When attached to a computer, you can sync your pictures through iTunes to send your images across or retrieve any file. The good thing, at least when it comes to the camera, is that when the phone is connected to the PC via USB the only external portion of the device that shows up is the image gallery. You can easily copy paste your files directly from here.
