While most iPhone 4S reviews are concentrated on the Siri feature, I’ve been having a blast testing out the awesome camera on Apple’s latest wonder phone. The 8 Megapixel, five element lens found on the new iPhone 4S takes such great photos and videos, you might not need to carry a dedicated digicam with you anymore.
The video below features Sally playing in the warm tub and was just shot out of the blue. That’s the cool thing about using an iPhone to do videos. Since you always have it with you, video become a spontaneous event. I will have more iPhone video samples soon. Make sure you want it in HD.
iPhone 4S Photo Samples
Here are a few photo samples. The iPhone 4S has by far the best camera out of any cell phones in the market. The quality is truly amazing. Click on the first image to see the full res photo.

Looks awesome!
what? Photos, video or food?
I think he is referring to the quality.
Yes, excellent quality. Not so sure I can wait for v5 now
It looks great John.
Even the sound is pretty good. I guess you didn’t use this for your las pho video then.
Every time I look at john’s food photos, it makes me hungry.
good video and photos. 8MP camera of iPhone4S seems to be really good. And how about these food items… home made or in restaurant ?
Restaurant. I could never make it look that good.
We are not talking about your cooking skill here … we are talking about your wife cooking … we saw your cooked food.
The resulting image is very bright, iPhone4S is cool
Wow, those shots are crazy sharp! I still have an older digital SLR that’s 8mp… times they are a changin’
Yup so clear, great camera.
Wow. I haven’t messed with the camera that much. Those pics look really nice and so does the food.
Wow — I thought my iPhone 4′s still photo quality was good… The food pictures look like something out of a magazine!
Those pics are way too good for a phone camera. This will give a good competition to android phones.
Very High quality photo, This time the camera resolution is bit higher.
Bit higher? It has been overhauled!
the food looks tasty..I am becoming hungry
That always happens to me on John’s blog, especially when I watch Dot Com Pho.
Awesome quality of Camera, You’re right here that you don’t need to carry your digicam anymore.
The quality of video and audio is better than the previous version.
That is true. I have the iPhone 4 but this post makes me want the 4S. John, are you going to give away any free iPhones?
No iPhone 4S giveaways. Sorry!
thats sad. it has been years since you organized a giveaway of iphone. Don’t you think you should now organize a grand giveaway for your loyal readers (like me)
I agree! We deserve a giveaway!
Damn that would be great!
John… your take on this? Seems that not only me, but everyone is expecting a grand giveaway from you.
Yes there should be a giveaway
…
Great video, thanks my man!
The video quality is so great! And the food images are so intricately detailed!
Looks really pretty baby in the video,i really like the video.
One of the major innovations of the iPhone 4S isthe 8MP camera with all-new optics also shoots 1080p HD video.
Camera quality is mind blowing, will easily blow out similar digital cameras and 12 megapixel mobile cameras.
Yah you are right this camera can be compared with Sony 12 Mega Pixel Smile Shutter Camera
I was really amazed of the high quality. Me thinking of buying one now.
Basically it’s the focus which is amazing.
Wow, Mexican food. Yumm…..
Mexican Food is my favorite!
the iPhone camera sure does make the food look delicious.
Yeah, look delicious. I just had breakfast, but no I got hungry again.
Iphone is cool device love to purchase one for my use
if you haven’t got one, better to wait for few more weeks (or month)… let iphone5 launch and then go for it.
I play with an LG Optimus 3D in anticipation of the iPhone 5.
Those are truly great photos and videos, John. You are right, I may no longer need a dedicated camera!
This looks marvelous and I think im getting either 4 or 4s not sure yet
The Pictures Quality is really awesome.
Hos is it compared to Samsung Galaxy S2 when it comes to video and Photo?
The iPhne 4s is way better than the Samsung.
Its video quality really looks amazing we have to buy such kind of product only
I cant wait to get an iPhone 4S!
Who got the iPhone 5? Anyone?
iphone 4S is better than iPhone 4
Yes you are right and i like 4s much then 4.
This phone will rock the world.
I’ll have to buy this phone.
Turks likened meals. also very nice camera
It was, as expected, an instant success for Apple’s new iPhone 4S. During the first three days sold it for over 4 million iPhone 4S.
the pictures are really good in high definition camera also the camera quality is fine.
wow! super photo quality. iPhone 4S d best! how about the strength of blurring?
Superb quality.
This is the highest megapixel so far for Apple. I wonder why. All of it’s competitor started using it years back.
content was very nice thank you very much for your help ..
Steve Jobs,
You’ll be missed.
Did anyone get a chance to read his biography?
Hey!! I had watched your earlier post too about panasonic GF2 and what I found was that those pics have a greater quality than these but than too I appreciate Apple because I loves its logo..
