Hi Donald, The iPhone 4 has a 5 Megapixel camera and so does the new Fifth Gen iPod /touch The iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 both have an 8 Megapixel camera.
There are small improvements in camera performance between the 4S and 5 even though both have an 8 MP sensor, the iPhone 5 has a higher quality crystal/lens cover and apparently better low-light performance. I would assume the the 5 MP camera of the iPhone 4 and that of the iPod Touch are very similar in performance. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that the camera on the various iPhones always have been considered to be among the top 2 or 3 of any smartphone. There are phones out there with higher Mejgapixel sensors yet in many cases the pictures still are not as good as the sensor is only one factor, the lens is another and the processing of the image is yet another. As for tasks like object or barcode recognition or OCR, I think it makes more difference whether you have good lighting and a steady hand than whether you have a 5 or 8 MP camera. I hope this helps, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donald L.

I don't need a detailed explanation; rather, I just want to know how the cameras on the above mentioned devices stack up against one another. Thanks.
