Is the Iphone 4 good enuf for trail camera?

My Nokia X6 does all this,but doesn't look as cool ¦~

Plenty of apps on the app store for panorama stitching. Just remember the front-facing camera isn't as good as the rear facing one, it's VGA quality only. So it'll be fine for self portraits, but not pics of you in the foreground and wonderful scenery in the background, FWIW.

You will still get better pictures from a cheap point and shoot camera. The iphone has a cellphone type camera sensor that just won’t take as good of pictures. Particularly with shadows and low light conditions.

Photoshop has a “Photomerge” command that will stitch images together. Or there are dedicated Panaoram software packages – http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-software/photo-stitching/panorama/

Here’s a review of the improvements and shortcomings of the iPhone 4’s cameras for photos and videos.

I've been using my 3GS for a while as my trail camera and it has performed well. With the test shots I've seen for the iPhone 4, I'm sure it will work as well. It isn't an slr but for the normal photos of my camping group, random scenery, and ones around camp, it's great. The fact that it is a gps, audio player, and alarm make it even better!

Buy a waterproof pouch that includes a silica gel pack or something similar for it though. Mine began showing a warning that "this accessory wasn't designed to work with an iPhone". This makes me think that moisture is slowly building up inside. So yeah, I am going to get a pouch just for this. There are ones available that even allow you to talk and use all controls while in the pouch

the video is probably technically 1280 x 720 but is certainly not HD as far as sharpness and detail, probably more like upscaled standard definition.
