Testing out the sharpness and clarity of the new iPhone 4S lens with these extreme macro shots. Each shot has been blown up to 100% so you can see the detail. I am amazed at the amount of detail that is preserved in these shots.To get the sharpest macro shots I used Camera+’s Touch Focus and Touch Exposure to get the best exposure possible and minimize shadows. I also used the Gymbl Pro Tripod to steady the iPhone and used Camera+’s stabilizer shooting mode so that the iPhone would only take a shot when the iPhone was steady to avoid camera shake.

Oct 20, 2011 Kyle Thompson It's absolutely stunning that this is all done on a phone! Great job.

Oct 20, 2011 David Hernández Thanks you Lisa

Oct 20, 2011 Marc Wilde If I didn't know better, I'd guess that these were taken with a decent point-and-shoot camera. I'm super excited for my 4S' delivery tomorrow. :)

Oct 20, 2011 Ian Wilson Love it! Thanks :D

Oct 20, 2011 Mahmoud H. Al-Johani Awesome ...

Oct 20, 2011 Scott Awesome Lisa

Oct 20, 2011 ToddMcCann And there's my argument for upgrading my 3GS. Thanks!

Oct 20, 2011 Eric Blacker (K3EDB) I'm so pleased at the quality of the 4S's lens, I may not buy another P&S again!

Oct 20, 2011 Reinaldo Versuri Amazing!!!! I want an iPhone 4S ....cry.....

Oct 20, 2011 Thomas Stunning pictures! I can't wait for my 4GS.

Oct 20, 2011 Lee Super rad. But my problem is keeping the lens in good shape. And I don't want to put the whole beautiful phone in a clunky case. Hasn't anyone developed a wee lens cover yet?

Oct 20, 2011 Frank Loforte Jr Great detail, got to get the 4S! Thanks, Lisa

Oct 20, 2011 Parel Thank you! Amazing phone with Amazing App! Felicidades!

Oct 21, 2011 bc_Quigley you're making me want to upgrade my 4 to a 4S just for the better camera! Thanks for sharing ...

Oct 21, 2011 XCagg Wow!

Oct 21, 2011 Lee Andrew Thank you Lisa! More than stunned at the quality of the pictures, i so want an iPhone too.

Oct 21, 2011 Jack I am in shock that these shots are from a phone!! As bad as I'd love to upgrade from my 4, I'm going to hang tight for the 5…

Oct 21, 2011 Andre Awesome shots, I am so happy with the 4s.

Oct 21, 2011 NinXera IO Awesome

Oct 21, 2011 Michael Temkin Wow! Can't wait for the iPhone 5... :-)

Oct 21, 2011 Svenson impressive

Oct 21, 2011 Loren looks like the app is crash crash crashing, better get on that.

Oct 21, 2011 David Chin These are not shabby at all!

Oct 21, 2011 Sedat Erkal that's great..

Oct 21, 2011 Bob Moon Really impressive, especially because I take a tremendous number of macro shots. Maybe this "phone" could replace my S95 as the daily carry camera. I wonder.

Oct 21, 2011 Roberto Mtz Awesome pictures

Oct 21, 2011 James Borden oh wow i wish i had the money for an iPhone 4S but i think i like having my 7D on me all the time :P

Oct 22, 2011 Krishna Chaitnaya. Alur R u kidding...these photos are astonishing...100% crops are so sharp and are far better than many highend point and shoots..to be frank even better than bridge cameras...is it the magic of iPhone 4S 8MP camera or of Camera+ ?? Mind blowing images..waiting for iPhone 4S launch in India...

Oct 22, 2011 manimegalai Its realy amazing!!!!!!

Oct 22, 2011 kadajawi This is really pretty amazing. I still prefer my SX130 IS as it is fully programmable, does RAW, has a decent optical zoom and a tripod mount, but in just terms of IQ this might compete. I still have one of the first camera phones, who would have thought what that led to.

Oct 22, 2011 Robert Szymczak Great camera... awesome shots! ;)

Oct 22, 2011 Willy Paul Do tell more about the lens...just an upgraded fixed camera phone lens, or...?

Oct 23, 2011 Teo Beautiful!

Oct 23, 2011 DarkMat Amazing

Oct 23, 2011 Whisper Not bad, just like good old galaxy 2

Oct 25, 2011 Lionel Faleiro Who thought that a Mobile Camera could ever get so powerful like a Point and Shoot camera.

Oct 26, 2011 Алексей Рябцев Very nice, Lisa!

Oct 26, 2011 Hamidin Arahman excellent ...

Oct 28, 2011 Andy Collins What is this about Camera+’s stabilizer shooting mode? I searched the menu in the app and googled it and find nothing?

Nov 6, 2011 Nida Zaidi Truly amazed!! What an improvement! wow!! surely need to upgrade to iPhone4S! I'm tempted.. Thanks for sharing Lisa! Cheers! :)

Nov 6, 2011 Syed Abbas Zaidi Love it.. =)

Jun 20, 2012 Tom Folks keep mentioning Point and Shootcameras. When was the last time you saw images like these with a P&S or for that matter a DSLR out of the box. How about never. Since the arrival of the 4S my :cameras" are sitting in the closet. Great images, Lisa.

Jun 20, 2012 clay does it only work on a 4S?

Jul 4, 2012 Jen Yeah......point and shoots do NOT take photos of this quality and detail. While I do love my 4S I still feel like I ge better shots with my D50. But the editing is so much easier on my phone. I haven't mastered Camera+ though, hopefully going to find time to try out the focus and exposure today.

Aug 1, 2012 Bob Dobbs I like how every single picture has problems with correct color rendition, focus issues when presented with dark shadows, and "blotchy" color areas resulting in poor overall color when looked at closely. Also the processing unit on the camera has issues with over sharpening details and poor depth of field as seen best in the background of the leaves picture. Even for an 8mp phone camera these are quite a few issues.

Aug 1, 2012 Bob Dobbs Also, for Tom and Jen, learn to use a DSLR properly and the level of detail you'll get out of even the cheapest SLR will be far superior image quality wise to this. Reason being: Better processing due to more options/beefier electronics than a phone will provide.

Aug 2, 2012 Michelle Barnett Somebody please show me how to get a pic like the rainy lock. Trying to take pics of jewellery and mine certainly don't look like that!

Aug 8, 2012 maximiLian Whoa, awesome photos. I LOVE the iPhone 4S camera, on the internet I saw a photo that you can't even easily do on a DSLR. Really (skyline with raindrops).

Aug 14, 2012 geri those really are amazing - I have to give Camera+ another look...Did you use a macro lens or is that a straight shot with Camera+?

May 21, 2013 Steff Just amazing..I am gonna try my hands too. :)
