I'm now considering upgrading to the 4S just after seeing the image quality alone. I really have no need for a point & shoot any longer.

I think you are right on there Matt. I am really happy with the camera quality on the 4S, and although I do lug around my enormous SLR when I intend to take pictures, always having a darned good P&S equivalent on you is going to allow me to get a lot of shots I would otherwise miss.

Same here, I have a dSLR and a P&S...one less camera to carry if I get a 4S.

Yeah that picture quality is nice....something my current phone really lacks. I heard the video camera shoots in 1080p as well! This would be good for Mike P since he likes to shoot videos on the fly.

Not only that, but stabilized video ... this is actually a really awesome feature.

Here is a video I shot hand-held straight out of the camera (and I was shaking a lot while shooting it). Titles added on the phone via iMovie, but that's it.

Wow that is VERY impressive video quality for a phone. Even better than my Flip MinoHD. I think you just sold me on the 4S...will likely order a 32gb tonight

Same thing I was just thinking because I just bought the Flip HD right before Detail Fest. Not sure if it will be used once we get our phones!

Don't worry Dave, you're not alone. Shoot, I'm "only" 30 and most of this stuff makes no sense to me. My wife and I just made the switch to smart phones about 2 weeks ago, so I have a lot of catching up to do. While I won't bring myself to be the clown that can't even walk to the bathroom without messing around on their phone, I will admit that it's actually pretty fun to play around with.
