Apple iPhone 3G S Digital Camera
Digital Camera Review

The Apple iPhone 3G S adds some significant under-the-hood improvements, including an updated three-megapixel image sensor with autofocus and video recording. The camera performed well in color accuracy and resolution, but we disliked the shortage of controls.

Playback Mode (10.00)
The playback mode on the iPhone is decent, though it hasn't really changed in this update. You can pinch or stretch an image with your fingers to zoom in or out. The slide show can be set to various transition effects (dissolve, ripple, wipe or cube), and you can control how long each image appears, whether to use shuffle, and whether or not to repeat. There is an album mode, but it only shows albums imported from iPhoto. The photos can be used a wallpaper, emailed out, or assigned to a contact.

In-Camera Editing (2.00)
There's no way to edit photos on the iPhone, though there are plenty of downloadable apps for this purpose. It does include a rather nice tool for editing video, though, that lets you easily trim it down to size. It can also send directly from the device to YouTube.

Direct Print Options (0.00)
The iPhone cannot output directly to a PictBridge printer.
