iPhone 4s: Phone or DSLR?

Now obviously the title statement above is a little over the top, but it does serve to convey to you 
just how impressed I am with the newly designed 8mp camera onboard the iPhone 4s. The image
quality of the iPhone 4s is really quite good and goes to show how far cell phone camera tech has
come in even the last couple years. I'm not saying that the new iPhone 4s is the answer to all your photographic needs, because it isn't. It has its limitations, particularly in the area of low light performance and pixel quality due to the constraints of have a tiny sensor. The lens is a newly designed 5 element all glass beauty with a aperture of f2.4 allowing for some depth of field effects. Below is an assortment of 
pictures I have taken using the iPhone 4s. Enjoy! Feel free to comment below.
