When Apple CEO Steve Jobs showed his new iPhone 4G to the media, he was especially happy with its camera. And for a good reason - just take sample look at some of the non-reworked pictures on its official site and you will observe that the iPhone takes splendid images.

So , how does the new camera stand up to the increasing competition? Thanks to their tiny chips, all cameras are universally bad. Apple CEO, however , has stated that the jump to 5 Mega Pixels was not made by squeezing more pixels into the chip, but by making the chip size larger.

Bigger pixels essentially mean good pictures, as they easily gather in more light. The iPhone clicks good images, even in poor light. A typical compact camera will have pixel pitch of about 2 micrometers, putting the iPhone in range of point-and-shoot variety real cameras.

Backside Sensors

The other thing mentioned by Apple CEO was the backside sensor. Actually, it isn't illuminated by anything beyond the light that falls upon it, to create the photo. It also is the latest sensor design observed in high-end cameras. Backlit sensors have their circuitry on the chip's back portion. This keeps them out of the way of light, making the sensor a whole lot more sensitive. This offers better low light performance.

Probably, these figures are more vital than the 720 pixel video capability and their obvious measures in mega pixels. They also are incredibly geeky. The fact that Steve mentioned it highlights the seriousness with which Apple has viewed the camera, an impossible prospect to believe with the original iPhone's average camera.

Flash Feature iPhone Lens Kit

What about built-in flash? This appears as the final resort. Irrespective of how fancy your camera, shining a small, harsh light at the subject, right beside the lens would always provide a bad result.
