I finally ordered my Iphone4.  It should be here early next week.  I can’t wait.  Finally it appears it has a camera that is actually useful.  I have not actually tested it but I have used each generation’s camera and cried…… For a high end phone there was never anything high end about the camera.  Can you believe not one version had a flash?  My wife’s cheap $99 camera phone had one, but not the Iphone, until now.  The new Iphone4 will have a 5 megapixel camera, digital zoom capability and a led flash.  Can’t wait to play.

I’m not convinced there is any professional use for the phone except for scouting photos and creative fine art.  Don’t get me wrong.  There has been some great “art” produce and posted on the web.  One of  the top photogs creatively using  the Iphone is Chase Jarvis who not only has shot jobs with the Iphone but has written a book and App about the Iphone.   Here’s a link to his blog: /blog/2009/09/the-best-camera-iphone-app-book-community/ If you like to shoot photos with your phone check it out.

I’ve been trying to do more personal shooting, but I can’t take my D3 with me all the time, I want to stay married.  So the Iphone is the choice for me.  Because it’s really limiting it make you use your imagination and creativity more.  I don’t think that I would ever use one on a job, I’m not that crazy, but it sure is fun when there’s no motivation to shoot other than to have fun.

Hopefully with the Iphone4 I won’t have to take a separate pocket camera or separate video camera.  Less, is definitely better.  I can’t wait for it to arrive.  Maybe eventually there will be an Iphone photo on Zwink.com.
