Yes that’s it – you tell Apple why for. Or maybe since were all unlikely to chane anything one bit – how about talking sensibly about he likelihood of Apple using he 5Mpixel Omnivision chip.
Or talking about which phones out there have optics but in a small form factor.

More Mpiels may mean les noise – skcetheyre updatig their hardware in all likelihood. Recent advances in cameras comic outbhave shown that you can help reduce noise in photos. Side Apple did a decent job with their touch to focus and white balance, (the 3Mpixel xhip was the highest at thetime or the support of the features they wanted to offer)

since when did a phone become a camera?! a phone with camera/video capabilities will drive up the price of the phone. right now all i care for is the flash player on the iPhone.

Wake up! for a lot less cost than an iPhone, you can get a real camera the size of a cigarette pack, and it will take good pictures.

Forgot to add to the previous post: if there’s one application that needs major, major revision in my estimation, it’s the built-in Youtube app.

I have apps on my iPhone that help improve picture quality, and my only major request for an improved camera would be a flash installation. I actually like the iPhone camera, mostly because I came to the iPhone from a Blackberry Storm, and the camera on that thing was godawful. The iPhone camera, by contrast, is always fast and reliable; plus, I like the cute, old-fashioned shutter graphic.

why not add a phone to your digital camera, it is a phone

They also need to look at the photo library features it’s rubbish compared to others. No date stamp feature (I know there are apps that do it) the whole photos area is crap.

I’ve had my iphone 3GS for a couple of months now and wouldn’t part with it now BUT some of the simple stuff just isn’t there compared to my old Nokia N95 8Gb.

When you press the button on the screen, the camera jiggles and the image blurs. Some means of taking a picture other than pressing a button on the screen would help reduce the blurring. I am thinking that the camera app might respond to an audio cue like the word “Cheese” as an optional alternative to pressing the button.

I am sure there is a third-party app that does this, but the feature really ought to be built into the camera app.
