Apple iPhone 5
📖 Overview
The iPhone 5 carries a single 8MP rear camera (f/2.4, 1/3.2" sensor, 1.4µm pixels) with autofocus but no optical stabilization, capping out at 1080p/30fps video and a 1.2MP front shooter for 720p selfies. There is no ultrawide, telephoto, RAW capture, or log profile, reflecting its 2012 vintage. For its era it was a capable point-and-shoot replacement, but by modern computational-photography standards it is strictly a historical reference point.
