I am saying this because what you can do with an iPhone is determined by the iOS API, i.e., all camera apps out there are doing more or less the same thing and for a reason. And AFAIK, stacking is not offered by anybody. Moreover, I am wondering what the max. magnification is like.Falk Lumohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476649880132648032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599082310926453927.post-77018541346635577142013-09-27T08:44:45.567+02:002013-09-27T08:44:45.567+02:00Stumbled on this page by accident while looking fo...Stumbled on this page by accident while looking for iphone lens specs.

The number of (sharp) pixels is all what matters. For great sharpness (which assumes 240 dpi (240 ppi actually) on the printing side) you can print up to 8" x 11" (roughly A4 paper size). You can print larger, e.g., A2 at 120 dpi which is still sharper than most LCD monitors. But it wouldn't look as sharp anymore if you approached the print too much (which you normally wouldn't do with large prints anyway).<br /><br />I would say that the iPhone 4's 5 megapixels are enough for about any printing application except maybe a double page magazine feature.Falk Lumohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476649880132648032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599082310926453927.post-64382537858457645312012-03-09T21:25:43.387+01:002012-03-09T21:25:43.387+01:00How large can you print with an iphone 4 photo.It ...How large can you print with an iphone 4 photo.It says it only has 72dpi on my images.Does that mean you can enlarge to only 11 by 14 printsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599082310926453927.post-49658381288821397972012-02-01T10:32:34.959+01:002012-02-01T10:32:34.959+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599082310926453927.post-63279425679808265602011-11-28T12:20:12.853+01:002011-11-28T12:20:12.853+01:00I need to know more.

I need to know more. E.g., the improved full well capacity of the new sensor could be a very strong feature allowing to capture much more dynamic range in good light. But this has to be measured actually.<br /><br />So, I know this much: The iPhone 4S camera is very interesting. f it is better than the iPhone 4 one's, I don't know (yet).Falk Lumohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476649880132648032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599082310926453927.post-17290788135048015452011-10-07T17:41:45.719+02:002011-10-07T17:41:45.719+02:00Like anonymous(not sure how he expects to get a re...Like anonymous(not sure how he expects to get a response ) I would be interested in seeing the same analysis for the iPhone 4S camera.Khürt L.

However, a dSLR like the Pentax K-x has almost top notch low light performance and is under $500 too. And with a 40mm prime, is amazingly small (almost pocketable (with larger pockets) but jumps above $500). A micro-FourThirds like Olympus E-PL1 fits the price target as well but only outperforms the LX5 for chroma noise (not the more important luminance noise). OTOH, if you invest $500 for any interchangeable lens camera and you already pass my blog, be prepared to spend more money for lenses. So, you may want to consider the entire system before taking any decision.Falk Lumohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476649880132648032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599082310926453927.post-19443670976469029212011-06-27T22:57:27.105+02:002011-06-27T22:57:27.105+02:00However, because of the fact that I'm not look...However, because of the fact that I'm not looking for something that fancy.

These are better added after the shot, like in the dark room in the old days of film.<br /><br />Your ticket to night photography are knowing how to do hand-held wireless flash, large lens diameters (normally only available for large sensors), noise reduction software (as in Adobe Lightroom 3 or Topaz), and shake reduction (either optical or sensor shift).<br /><br />I may be partial, but I don't know about any other camera than the Pentax K-5 which offers similiar low light performance AND stabilizes f/1.4 lenses (30 - 85mm).
