Comparing the iPhone 4S with other cameras

Comparison of photos taken by all versions of the iPhone (first generation iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, new iPhone 4S), the Canon S95 amateur camera ($ 500), and the Canon 5DMKII professional single-lens reflex digital camera ($ 4000 +) in two situations:
1. Macro for quality testing and detail;
2. A picture of the horizon in natural light.



The iPhone 4S shoots definitely sharper and better than previous versions of the iPhone. Separate use of focus and shutter speed in Camera + on iPhone 4 and 4S significantly helped create a more balanced frame. So far, the quality of the pictures does not reach the level of a professional camera, but it is already comparable to the line of top-end compact cameras, and in some ways even surpasses them.
