But a new " Lets start with the basics: Its a five megapixel, 5x digital zoom camera. That much you probably already know. What you may not know is the display is amazing. I really wish we could get a Retina display of this size and quality on a DSLR now THAT would be something. The iPhone 4 has built-in HDR and LED for high-dynamic range and additional illumination. The built-in HDR works just okay but third party apps give you real HDR on the phone that works better. The small LED light is perfect for just a little catchlight in the eyes, but its not like having a Nikon SB-900 mounted to your DSLR so keep your expectations in line with reality here.
