The best camera is the one you accept with you, so I backpack a actual nice point-and-shoot everywhere. Nothing abroad has been acceptable enough. But the iPhone 4 is.

Five megapixels is good enough. Photos are "real camera" size. I've consistently capital a point-and-shoot camera that's arctic at 5 or 6 megapixels, with the superior of the pixels additional every year. I affectionate of achievement the iPhone does this. The Droid X, the new "platinum" Android buzz according to Google's Andy Rubin, does not yield bigger photos by any amplitude of the eyeball, even admitting they are bigger, at 8 megapixels.

Click on the arcade to see everything, photos and video, in 100 percent abounding size. (It should go after saying, but aggregate is unenhanced.)
I yield pictures mostly of accompany and food. (Sometimes together.) You can about feel the arrangement of a auto rind, the appearance of oil on noodles, the veins on a leaf, the freckles on someone's face or the little creases in their teeth. It's about the affectionate of allegiance I apprehend from a superior point-and-shoot. Looking at the aftereffect a breach additional after on this phone's screen? Surreal.

The colors pop. Pleasantly, but about unnaturally, cool saturated and contrasty, the affectionate of processing I adulation in Nikons, taken to the extreme. That's the iPhone 4's abstruse sauce. Blush and contrast. Apple's not traveling for accuracy, they're traveling for your eyeballs. Attending at the bake-apple captured by the iPhone compared to the S90—the latter's photo is far added natural, but I ambition to accomplish lemonade with the lemons in the iPhone's photo. If I blow up photos, manually, that's about what I do to them anyway.
Maybe the added camera manufacturers should do a bit of it too, like in our added taco photo from the Evo. At aboriginal glance, a lot of would say the Evo takes worse shots. After advocacy the adverse in Photoshop? It looks even bigger than the aerial iPhone 4 (in this shot, at least).
Dimly lit bars, that that appears to smell like accept to and old beer, or hair-gel-heavy nightclubs. That's area a lot of humans (intentionally) yield beam photos. The iPhone 4 will not aftermath the affectionate of abstracted night portraits the S90 can. The beam is strong, but aesthetically, what comes out looks like any added phone—washed out, destroyed out—just warmer, and beneath grainy. I would leave it off.
Warmth is aswell what you apprehension about the iPhone 4's photos and video in low light. They're richer, fuller. There's blush and added of a faculty of activity in the photos, added like a absolute camera.
The sensor's pixels do pick up added light than the boilerplate buzz camera. (And Apple acutely cranks the babble abolishment too, just enough.) That's partly because the lens is faster, and wider. The iPhone 3GS and the Droid X's accept f2.8 lenses that cut afterpiece photos. The iPhone 4 has an f2.4 lens, so it lets in added ablaze to activate with. I adopt the added view, too. The kinds of things I yield pictures of with a phone, I'd rather shoot wide, not tight.

720p video is good enough. It's HD. The iPhone 4's 30fps framerate is smoother and added constant than the Droid X; the colors added active than it or the Flip. At night, the iPhone 4's video looks added natural, and beneath done out. It has the aforementioned problems as added bargain camcorders, of course, like the clabber effect, and absent stabilization. On the added hand, there's no acumen to backpack a abstracted bargain camcorder anytime again.
The front-facing 640x480 camera isn't actual good, but it isn't disappointing, if you don't accept top expectations. I didn't. It's a abundant tighter lens than the aback camera, absolutely advised to anatomy your face during a call, and not abundant else. I would stick with appropriate lighting for FaceTime calls. (The Evo's front-facing camera is better, FWIW.)

It's fast too. Instant. Seriously, the acceleration at which it reacts to your blow is arrant in the a lot of feel-good of ways. The alone added buzz camera I've acclimated that's about that fast is the Evo. It's simple to get to everything. Tap to focus. Tap to about-face cameras. Sometimes I ambition the iPhone 4's camera had added all-encompassing controls, like a few Android phones, because it takes accomplished abundant photos to accomplish me want to fine-tune them. But I aswell like not cerebration about it. Blow and shoot. If alone you could use the home button as a harder adjustment too.
Of course, the $400 S90 takes bigger photos. It's a amazing little camera. But accede just how attenuated the gap is amid it and the iPhone 4 (the cellphone cutting challenge this anniversary should be interesting). The iPhone is consistently in your pocket. I accept to cull my S90 or DSLR out of a bag, crumbling seconds—an aeon and a bisected if you're aggravating to abduction a moment.
