This was pretty much my initial reaction after the Event yesterday, just check the post below this one.
It hasn’t changed much since then, but after reading up on the iPhone 4S and all the improvements, I think it’s more than a worthy upgrade.
Most nerds, tech pundits and the likes won’t recognise this for what it is, but the consumer won’t care. The improved camera alone will sell this to millions of people. Bringing the iPhone on par with the iPad 2 in terms of raw processing power is another thing consumers will only realise when they pick up an older iPhone or any Android device and experience the sluggishness of the UI in general.
(via Dead Silence - Comixed - 4 panel comic strip (yonkoma or 4koma))This is a quick preview of Camera+ version 1.2 for the iPhone.
The app, which came into being through a collaboration of the talented photographer Lisa Bettany and the programming geniuses of tap tap tap, is the best one I’ve used so far and now it’s being improved even further:
The video shows the ability to separately set the focus and the exposure of a shot on the iPhone. As of right now, the point of focus, is also used to determine the exposure of the scene, which can be detrimental sometimes.
To some it may look like overkill to add a feature like this to something that is essentially a snapshot camera, but to me it is very welcome.
