The camera has a resolution of 3.2 megapixels, it features autofocus and can take pictures at a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels at most, but the software has no settings at all. Focusing is simple, the phone does it automatically before shooting, so it does it again and again if we move the phone. We can record videos as well with 3GS at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, the speed being 30 frames/second. You can check out a test video right here.

Image quality is average, iPhone’s pictures are still far from the quality of the rivals’ – and that’s the least to say. Noise level is rather high, the automatism misses a lot of times, and we can barely take any picture with correct exposure: most pictures are a bit over- or under-exposed. Edge sharpness is good, the colors are not very bright and not very pale, dynamics range is medium and there’s no chromatic aberration.
iPhone is still great in music, but it still has two problems: it doesn’t have an FM radio and we can’t create our own presets on the equalizer. It’s great fun to browse our music if we fill out their ID3 tags in iTunes.
The software has one new feature, this is related to seeking: if we grab the seek slider, we can seek in the track by pushing it, but if we move our finger down and start pushing the slider there, we can seek at a much lower rate. This is useful for those who are listening to a couple of hours long mixes on their phone, from now on they can also seek with a precision of a couple of seconds.
I think the handsfree speaker is somewhat better than on the predecessor, but as I have no simple 3G at my disposal, I’m not sure about it. The headset is the same, I like it because it’s comfortable, but those who have a better musical hearing are criticizing its quality quite a lot of times. As opposed to the first iPhone, we can use any kind of headset with the 3GS, the 3.5 mm headset jack is not sunk, so we can plug in even the largest connector. The jack also has TV-out, we can review our videos on a TV if we get the proper cable.
