The iphone4S seems more yellowish but it's more detailed when you look the book words. You can't barely read any on the Galaxy unlike on iphone4S.

Re: Robert Scoble's Galaxy S II vs iPhone 4S camera test
#22iPhone 4S produces more accurate colors. Overall, I'm delighted how great the image quality if for all cell phones; astonishing how far we've come in just a few years.
How do you tell that iPhone 4S has more accurate colors without actually seeing the real objects?
I have enough image editing experience that I can see this fairly quickly. Also, I've seen a couple of desks, keyboards and books in my days...

#24This a dreadful comparison. There is nothing to show depth of field; there's no comparison between performance in low-light and harsh-light conditions; no comparison between flashes. All-in-all, pretty useless.

Maybe he has the same keyboard and has seen a can of Diet Pepsi before. It's not hard to imagine that being true. I think that the 4S shot is too red/yellow compared to the Galaxy II. This sort of comparison is pretty subjective though. (aside for evanwalsh: for the record I hate my Nexus One and have a 4S on the way)
Does he also have the same light/lamp/bulb?
Without making sure parameters & the software used were the same, such a casual comparison doesn't seems too useful to me.

I've found the built in white balance compensation to be quite poor in Android.
Definitely not an Android issue here, as I know for a fact Samsung uses its own camera app and capture framework. Not sure about the underlying hardware. If it's a v4l2 driver you might have a case against the kernel infrastructure.

That's usually up to the phone or camera manufacturer to tune, almost nobody uses the built-in compensation except for prototypes.

#28The really bad quality of iPhone 4S shot may be due to his hands shaking, we really wouldnt know untill somebody uses a tripod to do comparative shots.
Nice thing about Galaxy S2 software though is that you can specify ISO, focusing type as well as use a timer to deal with "shakiness" of the shot.
In less than ideal light situations, Galaxy suffers from shutter lag, i havent tested the iphone picture taking that much though.

I don't think capture speed has any effect on the sharpness of the image, sharpness is more down to the lens/shutter speed, I'm assuming the "speed" touted by Apple refers to the startup time of the camera app as well as the responsiveness of the UI and the ability to take consecutive shots faster. Looking at the shots again, it does seem that the sharpest image, that of the original iPhone 4, is also the noisiest, i…
Yes, that's definitely the cause here. The iPhone 4 Picture is much darker, meaning it was made with a higher shutter speed and therefore is much shaper when holding it by hand. If you have a good camera lying around you can try it out by playing with iso/aperture/shutter-speed: Make two pictures in a dark(ish) place, one with low speed and low iso, the other with high speed and high iso (but same aperture). Dependin…
>For a professional result you would need to control the cameras completely manual and take a lot more pictures in different settings (light, reference colors, tripod, ...).
Well, it's also worthwhile testing how well the automatic settings work -- that's how most folk will use the phone.
(All I really want in a camera phone is non-shitty low-light photos.)

#30Who exactly is robert scoble, and what is his claim to fame? His name seems to come up somewhat frequently
I believe this is called the "Robert Scoble"-effect. One could liken it to social media spam: I don't want to know Robert Scoble, don't find him notable, yet his name appears everywhere. Such people know how to insert themselves in the daily conversations and can count on the support of their followers to carry their views far and beyond. Most of the time those views are not much more than a catchy social hook. You G…

Heh, I love that. I'm going to use it.
