If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Plus you need a good selfie stick. ;-)
didn’t I see a story about some really top-notch cameras for phones coming out soon?
I would immediately turn off the autofocus since I have yet to meet a camera that can read minds and focus on what I want.
Only if you consider the camera to be the primary function of the phone.
I don’t.
I rarely use a camera for facebook. I’m not so vain that I’m constantly clicking selfies, and if twitter is for idiots...instagram is for idiots who can’t read.
You tap on the screen on what you want the focus on. . . literally a split second and it focuses where you want it to. Otherwise it multi focuses on the faces.
Stories about top-notch cameras for phones coming out soon are always being published. The cameras and phones never amount to much.
This is not about taking "selfies," it's about taking photographs with phones. What you do with them is up to you?
Gotta say: most friends want me to shoot them, with my POS Android, over IPhone.
Don’t know what the diff is.
I don’t pay attention to the many variables I’ve seen pro’s ache ove but, my friends insist I POP’em and send the em the besteeez.
Am I lame?
Being used?
My udder friends weetawds?
?????
The best camera is always the one you have with you.
Which is what a LOT of professional photographers say the iPhone's camera is. . . some are using it for a lot of their professional work.
Pretty much...
No photographer considers any phone camera to be of high quality. They are all a joke. That said, I have a Droid Turbo, 20MP. Beats the iPhone’s camera hands down in quality.
“some are using it for a lot of their professional work. “
No, son, they don’t. I highly doubt a pro with his Nikon FX is going to ditch it for an Apple product. Don’t know any that have and your post has a few of them giggling. Actually, one is about to laugh herself into an asthma attack.
Coad Toad, I dont post things I'm not prepared to back up with facts. I never do. Major magazines have used photos shot with iPhones on their covers. YOU may not use an iPhone for photography, but many pros DO. You may laugh all you like, but you are wrong.
You’ve always had your head up Apple’s butt so far you have to use their bellybutton as a porthole. If Apple came and took a honking crap on your floor you’d claim it was a better crap than Microsoft’s.
Their camera is no better than anyone else’s on a phone, but being their chump you can’t see that.
Before you take off for the emergency room, I think these might break up you friend's apoplectic fit of ignorance! .Here're just some examples, if you want more, I can keep posting links for your edification:

Time Magazine cover image shot with iPhone: interview with Ben Lowy
Ben Lowy is what photography professionals call a "conflict photographer." He goes where the dramatic stories are, and in recent years has been to Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq and now to the US states knocked hard by Hurricane Sandy. His equipment of choice? Often it's an iPhone 4S, plus some iOS apps for image editing and getting photos to his editors.
I think that should be sufficient proof of my statement, and evidence that PROFESSIONAL Photographers are often using Apple iPhone cameras, and a complete refutation of your snickering denial. I told you I don't post things I'm not prepared to back up!
Your abject PUBLIC apology will be accepted.
By the way, unless you are in your late eighties or early nineties, YOU are not old enough to refer to me as "son," especially in an intentionally denigrating way.
Good article! Thanks for posting. I have an Android and have noticed the same thing. The Apple phone is vastly superior. I’ve seen some mediocre Android cameras but nothing like an iPhone.
