On a recent business/vacation trip to Hawaii and Maui I had the opportunity to capture a few photographs with the iPhone 4. I’ll be updating the site with more images so you can see how the iPhone 4 handled different lighting situations. Granted, the 4 does not have the optical horsepower of the 4S but overall I was pleased with the 4′s performance.
Note: Typically the 4 has more noise so it does require a bit of post production massaging.

2011 has seen a flurry of new camera models and at first glance can seem a little daunting to pick one that would be the right balance of easy of use, controls, options, and image quality.
Well the verdict is in and the best place to look is to see what actual owners think about their cameras. Owners are brutally honest generally don’t pull any punches. If it’s a dud, they say so. If it takes an engineering degree to operate, they say so. If the picture quality is misses their expectations, they say so.
Based on this – THESE are the cameras that have consistently received high marks from their owners and would make the perfect Christmas gift.

Check out the Nikon 1 J1 on Amazon.
“Don’t buy this camera if: You require a pocketable camera (it’s barely pocketable without a lens).” – Photoreview
The Nikon 1 J1 features 10.1 megapixels, dust shield glass, 3 inch LCD, CX format sensor, 10 frames-per-second with autofocus, and 1080i video.
So it looks like the J1 is not for the serious shooters. But because of the color options and style this might be a comera that travelers might want to put on their short list.
