Camera Showdown – iPhone 3G vs iPhone 3Gs

One of the most exciting features I was looking forward to in getting the iPhone 3Gs was the improved camera. I’m talking still photography here, peeps! Well talk about the video recording capabilities later.
For me, the increase from 2.1 to 3.2MP wasn’t what made me fall in love with the 3Gs camera, its the cameras selectable auto-focus and it’s ability to take macro shots.

Since I have had my 3G, I have on many occasions needed to take a close up or macro photo, and simply couldn’t. As a field service specialist who works for a major telco, we install a lot of HSIS, and I have found myself on many occasions without a pen, or without a working pen, when needing to record a serial number. Having the ability to take a picture of the serial, would have made my life MUCH easier.
Now that I have a 3Gs, I am in heaven as I can now get in close when I need it, and that to me both professionally, and personally, is huge.

Below are a series of photos I took, with both phones. All images were taken in the same room, under the same lighting and the same focal distance.

As you can clearly see (no pun intended), the images are much clearer with the 3Gs.

DizzyDoug’s BBQ Dry Rub

For those who follow me on Twitter. Here is the dry rub recipe that I posted earlier today in action. Remember, what I gave you was the base, so feel free to add to it, or omit whatever you feel like. Make it your own. Or just use it as it, after all, it’s darn near, if not already perfect as it is. Video was recorded on my new iPhone 3Gs.

Sirius XM App For iPhone And iPod Touch

In this video, I give an over view of the new Sirius XM app for the iPhone and iPod touch. I’ve been looking forward to using to this app for sometime as it’s been rumored for a while now. For me, the channels that I’ve been enjoying on my co-workers Sirius receiver are all here, and with this app, I don’t have to purchase multiple hardware devices, and pay for multiple devices on the account.
