iPhone 3.0's Photo-Taking Capabilities Greatly Improved?

In the midst of countless rumors regarding the next iPhone's camera capabilities, Gizmodo reports that iPhone 3.0 may bring improvements to the current iPhone's camera. The folks at iPhones.ru took some side-by-side photos to compare between 2.2.1 and 3.0. The results show quite an improvement in sharpness and exposure. The adorable results of the comparison are below.

The interesting part is that iPhones.ru took about 30 shots to determine whether the marked improvement was due to a shaky hand or an actual difference in performance.

The difference is clear (no pun intended). The kitty on the right is much blurrier than the kitty on the left. If you check out the two additional images in our gallery below, you'll note that the exposure is also greatly improved. Gizmodo points out that, as with dSLRs, it is possible for image quality to take a leap with software improvements.

If anyone's played with 3.0, attach some images below!

You can really tell the difference in the second picture.
I look forward to "all" of the improvements that Apple is going to make to the phone. I think the new iPhone will be about up to par with what I have wanted from the device all along. It should only get better from there in the years to come.

ROFL. You're probably right. They were desperately hoping nobody would figure it out.

I hope it is better but that's how most of the pictures I try to take of my son end up

Screw you, Hans. My mom thinks my blog is cool so you can take your big head and face and... are those doritos? Leave those with me. Take the other stuff that isn't doritos with you.
