The new iPhone 5S has had many comments that it is more of the same. It has had comments that it has hardly been improved over the 5. Actually, the iPhone 5 was a great phone and the improvements to the 5S are actually more substantial than meets the eye.

Lets take the camera. It has more camera modes and can process 10 full resolution burst shots per second. In fact you can take 100 photos, and the new A7 processor in real time is able to tell you which one is the best shot or sequence of motion shots to keep. The panoramic mode can now adjust light exposure as you take your shot as shown below.

The 5S boasts better low light. Here is a shot from the 5S and below that the same shot but using the Sony QX10 attached to the iPhone 5S.

and now same scene but using the Sony QX10 lens.

So which low light photo do you prefer?

Obviously there is a lot more features and benefits with the iPhone 5S and I will try and cover these off with some more thoughts over the next few days.
