...and ONLY for that...if I look at the other pics (and I am sure, John, you will agree), sharpness and decent color saturation looks comparable to these disposable cam's....to me it is still "just" a phone..
Only wrist shots? I wouldn't go that far. I'm still getting used to it. I have found the photos to be a bit on the "noisy" side - nothing a pass through a digital noise filter like Noise Ninja won't easily fix.

I think the first and the third photos are best - that second one I didn't get quite in focus correctly. But that was likely more operator error than camera quality. Again, the photos the camera is capable of producing will likely improve with future 3rd party aps.

What I can say definitively at this point is that:

1)The quality of the iPhone 3Gs camera is light years ahead of what came before it.

2)It's capable producing EXCELLENT macro shots and eliminates the need for me to carry around a second camera for that purpose and

3)It can produce very usable "snap shots" which might not be as high-quality as what can be produced with a dedicated digicam, but very impressive for a phone.
