I’ve been using the iPhone 3GS for a few months now. This past weekend was the first time that the quality of the iPhone camera has impressed me. So, what opened my eyes to the possibilities of this handy camera?

Well, I finally took a photo worth printing. Chase Jarvis is absolutely correct that The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You. And, while the Nikon D50 remains my primary camera, I only have it with me when I plan on taking photos. On the other hand, the iPhone is the camera that is always by my side. So, for my favorite photo, the kids were dressed and seated next to a small pumpkin on the front porch. The lighting was naturally and wonderfully diffuse with no hot spots. When I saw the kids naturally posed, I grabbed the closest camera available to capture the moment. If I ran inside the house to get the Nikon, the kids would have probably dispersed. Anyways, fortunately, the kids remained perfectly still. From looking at the 5×7 print, I would not guess that photo came from the iPhone. It’s that good.
