iPhones, no matter which generation, can take fairly decent photos (obviously the iPhone 4 is going to do it better than earlier models, but if you’re not expecting Ansel Adams-level results, any model will work fine). If you’re looking for some tips to take better photos with your iPhone, or really with any camera phone, look How to Create Prints of Your iPhone Photos , by Ben Long of Macworld.com who provides some helpful reminders and hints, such as, use as much light as possible and stabilize the camera in low-light situations. Long also note that iPhone editing apps such as CameraBag or Hipstamatic (I love their message–”Digital photography never looked so analog”) give a “retro” or “grungy” look to iPhone photos, so you make even a bad photo look good.

PrinTip: Ink Is Designed to Dry on Paper, But That’s Not Always What Happens Ink in ballpoint pens and inkjet printer cartridges share a common trait — they’re designed to dry quickly.
