At the live event introducing the new iPhone 4S, Phil Schiller emphasized its new 8-megapixel backside illuminated image sensor, which provides 3264 pixel images, up from the 5-megapixel camera of the iPhone 4. “You can print out an 8 x10 that’s pixel-perfect, gorgeous,” Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing proudly announced.
From these images, we produce SizzlPix! High-Definition display, not 8 x10, but 4-times the size, 16 x 20″, with no sacrifice in resolution, luminance, color, contrast … all the qualities that make SizzlPix! unique.
Mark Stepovich’s sparkling 24″ ice-climbing SizzlPix! were made from the 4MPX sensor in a 5-year old pocket camera.
Phil’s announcement is at 62:50 in the Apple video of the event. With your new iPhone you have with you, 100% of the time, and anywhere you go, a camera that produces huge dramatic SizzlPix!
“My friend Doug and I took these pictures of each other on a recent ice climbing expedition in Lee Vining Canyon, California.
We’re not pro photographers, but these SizzlPix! made from our own digital pictures are a knockout in my dental office. The bigger one is 35-inches wide, displayed where everyone sees it, over our reception desk.
I practice in Silicon Valley where many passing through our offices tend to be insiders in high technology, yet it’s remarkable how many say “wow!” and want to know where I got these pictures and how they’re made so vibrant and colorful.”
