Despite any initial troubles & problems, the new iPhone v4 has a greatly improved camera: super fast shutter, quick start and stop, improved resolution, camera mode, and flippable (therefore making the ladies’ compact mirror now obsolete).

Blogs, media and news

Photographers and Galleries

Need a quick fix? Here’s a good breathless rundown of great shots!

iPhone Photography is a reader-submitted gallery of great iPhone pix.

Yes. there’s a Flickr group.

Since 2008, there’s even been an Annual iPhone Photo Award

Tools, apps and add-ons

Phil Coffman is a great iPhone photographer and he shares information on app combos and techniques in this blog entry.

Hipstamatic is a clever app that makes your iPhone camera work like the best (and cheapest) of the cheap plastic medium-format film cameras of the past. It’s clever because it doesn’t stop at the $1.99 app, but you can buy add-on lenses and film packs for more variations and effects. The makers of the app regularly run a reader-submitted contest, with a gallery for the winners, but I’ll tell ya: best Hipstamatic pics I’ve seen are right on Jon Konrath’s Flickr photostream. Awesome!

You can even do HDR with an iPhone! [video howto]
