iPhone 3GS vs BlackBerry Storm 9500 Camera Shootout

The title says it all.

I took a Research In Motion BlackBerry Storm 9550 and an Apple iPhone 3GS (just released in Ireland) and took pictures of various subjects in typical situations – outside, inside and with sub-par lighting conditions. The rules are eleganty simple:

• Take 3 Pictures of any given subject with each device, try to move as little as possible.
• Pick the best representative sample of the three photos.
• Compare….

The following images are direct from the devices, no manipulation was performed. This explains why some photos are oriented in a different direction:

iPhone 3GS	BlackBerry Storm

* I made numerous attempts, but it seems anytime I take a photo of the iPhone 3GS with the BlackBerry, the screen has a significant green hue.

Expect a video comparison soon also.
