How good and popular is the iPhone camera?
There are no flash, editing and zooming features on the iPhone camera. Some people think that the iPhone is a good smartphone with a weird camera, but flicker has a different story and most iPhone users would not accept that the camera sucks. There are many features that make the iPhone camera special and handy.
The iPhone being always in your pocket is the first convenience; you can take pictures wherever you go.
For normal use, the iPhone camera delivers crisp and clear pictures provided the pictures are taken with ample light around. Images captured with the camera can be assigned as wallpaper on the phone, inserted to contacts and can be mailed to others, which are kinda handy. Ease of use is one special and unique feature of the iPhone camera. The single button access, tap to click feature, and browse option of the picture folder from the camera interface make things super easy for users.
Flicker listed iPhone camera as the most popular smartphone camera followed by Nseries phone cameras and Sony Ericsson K800i. The iPhone camera is listed in the fifth place among the most popular high end cameras such as the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, Canon EOS Digital XT, Nikon D80, etc. The report is compiled from flicker photos that members upload using different cameras.

It’s curious that the other camera models are essentially flat-lined, while the number of iPhones increases so rapidly. iPhone seems to be drawing people into the smart phone category, in a way that other phones don’t, and yet it doesn’t seem to be pulling existing smart phone users away from the other phones very rapidly. I wonder how much of that effect is due to contract lock-in, making it harder for those users to switch, and how much is due to smart phone user inertia, once they start with a particular smart phone.
Very surprising information, considering how awful the flash-less 2MP camera actually is. It’s a 2005 camera on a 2009 phone. cb
Listen, I have no idea what this guy is talking about. “iPhone camera delivers crisp and clear pictures” is complete crap. If you are taking this picture outside on the sunniest day of the year your picture will look good. If you happen to be anywhere else without an abundance of light your pictures look like it was taken with a first gen. camera phone. Seriously.
Great phone - Terrible Camera.
As I live in the Nokialand, Finland, and being used to the camera quality of Nokia phones, my biggest strucle in leaving my N95 8GB home and taking iPhone instead is; what if I need to take some photos or video?
I really love my iPhone and my N95 mainly sits on the table but damn I would have loved to have my N95 with me just last weekend to be able to record some video of my kids singing at a party or at least to be able to take some proper photos inside… The camera of the device is really terrible!
One of the only wishes for the 3rd gen iPhone I have is a good camera with video recording; it cannot be that difficult to do!
check procamera! iphonefootprint says: no need to wait for the next-gen iphone for better photos!
