iPhone camera – 3GS vs 3G

Here’s a quick comparison of the iPhone 3GS camera versus the old 3G camera. The 3GS has a macro function, so it’s not a fair test by any means

New iPhone 3GS:

…and here’s a shot from the old 3G:

That’s quite a difference!

However, it’s nowhere near as good as the camera on the N95, and there are some great photos taken with that phone. Still, it’s a vast, welcome improvement.

More macro shots

It’s a week after Rachel bought me a Nikon 105mm macro lens, so I thought I’d post some more shots I’ve taken with it. I’m really impressed with the sharpness and the focal distance. Very impressive!

Almost all of the photos i’ve taken are hand-held, and most are quite sharp, showing the VR really does work. I’ve just bought a Manfrotto 679 monopod, which should make taking macro shots easier. Ebay has a number of these for less than £30.
