The iPhone 5′s badass camera: 40% faster photo capture, panorama mode, & more

Apple’s certainly keeping in line with its ability to pay attention to the smaller details in its new iPhone 5, and this is absolutely true for the device’s camera.

Despite being smaller, the camera itself has a number of improvements, including an 8 megapixel sensor, 3264 by 2448 photos, backside illumination, hybrid IR filter, a five-element lens, and way more. The camera snaps photos 40 percent faster as well.  This might all sound like mostly gobbledygook to those who can’t take a picture to save their lives (myself included), but that’s exactly who this camera is for.

Additionally, Apple is including some new features along with the camera, like a panorama mode that takes 28 megapixel shots. The company displayed a panorama shot of the Golden Gate bridge at today’s iPhone 5 event (shown above), which looked rather impressive. The company also added a new Photo stream sharing feature. So when you want to share photos with friends and family during events, it’s much less of a hassle to upload and point links.
