Photo and Video Quality – iPhone 3GS
The iPhone 3GS brought significant photo and video quality improvements over its predecessor. The 3-megapixel camera with autofocus was capable of taking more detailed and sharper images, notably in good light. Colors were quite accurate and natural, but you could easily run out of dynamic range with things like blown-out highlights or shadow loss.
The biggest new feature was video recording, but it only shot 480p@30fps clips. Such videos were smoother for the era, but did not have advanced stabilization and lacked high resolution; videos taken with that phone are best-suited only to occasional moments, rather than for professional use. Now the audio recording was crystal clear but it was in mono and of course more limited fidelity than video.
Low light performance was still tough as there wasn’t a flash or huge sensor. Damaging was common in darkish environments and focusing may be gradual But for most everyday snapshots in good light, the camera consistently delivered fine results.
So in the end, while it wasn’t always bright and sunny skies for Apple when trying to break into mobile imaging, the iPhone 3GS was a nice big step forward, pioneering video capture and autofocus on its own platform — things that would be taken much farther with future releases.
