I would like everybody to know that this is an iPhone image.
Nothing wrong with that. The phone probably has better quality than point and shoot digital cameras
You are very very wrong.
iPhone 4s: 8 Megapixels
Nikon Cooxpix S7000: 16 Megapixels
Why on earth would you think a phone would have better quality than a real camera?
And yes, an iPhone 4s was used.
Taylor, I’m not wrong bud. And I know you want to relish in the fact this is a phone photo, but it’s NOT the first. There are quite a few and most of them are from iphones for good reason.
Image quality, before the image is even processed depends on a large number of factors:
a) Quality of the glass between light and the sensor
b) the quality of the sensor, such as the size, pixel density, ability of the sensor to resolve detail and colour, and sensor characteristics.
And it’s not a black or white, megapixel count either. That has little to do with it, actually.
A nikon D100 camera from 2001 at 6 megapixel will outperform both an iphone 4 and a coolpix 7000 for one simple reason: the sensor size and quality, and the optical quality of the lens – when you consider the size of the glass on most DSLR’s it is a no brainer.
When it comes to point and shooot cameras, they use inexpensive sensors and cheap optics and it shows.
The iphone has had some really excellent engineering to bridge the gap to have a very small sensor perform very well. That’s why iphone photos are the most often accepted on this site.
And yes, we know an Iphone was used.
Well, the pictures from my camera camera look better than pictures from both of my phone cameras, because the purpose of a camera is a camera. Even my dad’s phone is 16 MP, but doesn’t look as good as my real camera. The only reason I use the iPhone 4S for photography at all, is when I want photos, but am also doing video, or if I don’t have the real camera.
