Martin, very good question. When you shoot, e.g., a 3 photo panorama with a DSLR, you expose your DSLR to the brightest point in the entire scene, lock in that exposure (best done in manual mode), then take the 3 shots, so all are exposed the same. The iPhone 3GS can be tapped to expose to a certain point in a picture, but that exposure cannot be carried over to the next picture. So you would still end up with different level of exposures in these three shots. You can probably anticipate this and expose on certain points that seem to be lit the same in all three, but that’s just crude trial and error.

I’m not sure I understand why the iPhone 3GS would only improve panoramas slightly. After all, you can now set exposure by tapping the screen.
