I've never used Camera phones, I have an SLR so always took pics with that. I had a hand me down iphone 3 and as it was the bfs work phone it was really scratched so the photos were crap, However I got an iphone 4 the other day and I'm really impressed. I took it to the beach the other day and took a few photos just to see the difference. top is the SLR ad the 2nd is iphone both unedited.
Keen to play with the iphone camera now.
