iPhone 3GS Camera Shootout - Comparison with old iPhone and Canon Rebel

Another bake-off with the new iPhone 3GS. The 3GS auto-focus camera is perhaps the biggest feature and best improvement over the previous two iPhones. I headed outside and did some comparison shots between the original iPhone and a Canon Rebel XTi (w/ Canon 28-135mm lens). The results were, well, both surprising and not surprising. The 3GS blew away the old iPhone camera in every pic -- some shots more than others. Surprisingly, however, the iPhone 3GS managed to look respectable compared to the Rebel. The Rebel is still my go-to camera, but I wouldn't hesitate to depend on the 3GS camera to capture memories.

Check out the video and see the difference. Also slid in some video shots, and included recent video tests.
