Can the iPhone 4s replace a regular camera?

Poor man's quick comparison from tonight:

iPhone 4s no-flash:



Coolpix noflash:


I think that there are apps on the iphone which will allow for better light metering for shutter, but just off-the-shelf results.

Just curious, did you tap the screen in the iPhone to engage the white balance and exposure meter? I find that makes a world of difference in scenes like that.

I have been using my samsung galaxy SII (Droid) camera much more than my DSLR and have been VERY happy with the results. I haven't even played around with the settings yet.

I love his little dig at the end:

"Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci could make great art with an iPhone. They could make great art with mud on a stick. You aren't Picasso. Use the right tool for the right job."

Just got back from Edinburgh, London and France and captured on my Nikon D300 and an iPhone 4s.

Here are a sample of the iPhone 4s shots. Most are very punchy and non-natural, but overall I was very happy with the performance.

Would it replace my DSLR? Not a chance. Different tools in the toolbox.

Pretty impressive for a phone...but I will not be selling the 7D anytime soon... although I may just need to buy a fancy iphone to supplement.

Some pics from today's outing, all with the iPhone 4S and all without any post-processing.

It's good enough to replace a point and shoot but there's still a place for my Nikon DSLR.
