Which has the best camera? Nexus4 or Galaxy S III

I need to replace my very old iphone 3G. I'm debating between Nexus 4 & Galaxy S III. I saw some comparison photos and I felt the S3 photos were better. Also in one review the reviewer said the image preview on the Nexus 4 is cropped so it's very difficult to frame your shots. I'd like to know if anyone has comments on this, especially if there are some image comparisons.

The Nexus 4 is 100 euros cheaper and has a more up to date Android. So I'd really like to get the N4. But I would like to use the camera a lot to get photos of the kids when we're out. So I'm undecided.

Thanks

the s3 camera looks a hell of a lot better IMO

Here is one review that has comparison photos from both cameras, of the same scene at the same time. I feel the S3 photos are much better. So much better that I'm considering paying 100 euros more for the S3:

But I'm afraid Samsung will be slow on Android updates and may even stop updating the S3 once the S4 comes out. Whereas I feel Google will update N4 quickly and for a while longer.

The phone is fine with ICS, although I did "upgrade" to 4.1.1(No Root, No Flash). Sorry to disappoint but Jellybean is lackluster and overrated at best. I feel no great improvements have happened going to Jellybean. If you want a better camera, then get the S3. Also, it's a carrier thing, not a Samsung thing. The updates have already been made, it's up to the carriers to release them.
