I was up in Suffolk briefly at the weekend, and took the opportunity to grab some photos with my new iPhone. The church offered some good opportunities to test the selective focus/exposure on the latest model. For instance, this photo was focused on the carving:

I think touch to focus is the single most impressive feature of the iPhone 3GS. It’s a beautifully simple way of giving you focus and exposure control without introducing a host of buttons and menus. And in terms of grabbing photos quickly in the field, it’s exceptionally easy and intuative.
The camera’s low light performance still won’t win any awards, and 3 megapixels is low by most standards, but for quick, easy fodder for online reporting, it’s pretty darn handy.
