The best camera is the one you have with you. 99% of the time thats my iPhone.

Why do these look so good while other iPhone shots look like the phone was dipped in Vaseline?

Thanks, for starters!

I always make sure that my lens is clean. Most people just whip the phone out of their pocket all linty and fingerprinty.

Secondly, if I'm actually trying to take a good photo as opposed to a snapshot, I'll take the time to make sure the exposure looks right, and set the focus correctly. Both of which can be changed by tapping on the screen.

Lastly, both were taken in good light. No one knows what the ISO is on the iPhone sensor, but it works better when it has a ton of light to work with.

Really? I've imported all the photos from my Sony Ericsson C905 to Lightroom and it says the ISO is between 64 - 800 in half-stop increments. I don't own an iPhone so I'm not sure if it'll encode metadata from the camera.

I dont think the iPhone writes the ISO to the exif data, but I may be mistaken

EDIT: Yeah, doesnt seem to be there http://www.flickr.com/photos/matt-f/4076177166/meta/

The 4S camera is fairly amazing. Definitely giving even high-end P&S cameras a run for their money. This is right out of the camera, no editing.
