Of course it is... look who advocates using REAL cameras and look who is using FAUX cameras.

For me my phone is great for quick picks I don't plan to sell. Not saying I haven't captured some great shots that could sell, but as an event photographer not many clients would appreciate my showing up with the same device they have I their pockets. Which brings me to my greatest complaint--TOO MANY DIY cellphonetographers out there. It has made people reluctant to pay for professional, certified, services. They all think they can do it themselves. I have seen my bottom line drop due to this. Annoying though, is when I get a group posed just right and bystanders want to crowd for the shot like a press pool. And MOST annoying is hen people want to pass me their phones for the shot. I have learned to refuse.

I think that most people cannot see the difference between their photos and your pro quality photos.

Yes, phone cameras today take good pictures and look great on the phone or computer. But what about when you decide I would like to have a picture enlarged to fit over my fireplace or other great wall? Now you run into trouble because the phone camera on generates 8-12mp. The maximum enlargement would probably be 11x14 or maybe 16x20 if you are lucky without creating distortion of the scene. So, it depends on what you want in the outcome....

You know what's really great. The number of cell phone sales vs the decreasing sale of DSLR camera, those people never compare their pictures or the those taken by DSLR cameras.
They don't feel threatened or the need to be arrogant, dismissive or engage in pompous a$$ self-serving boasting. They seem to be a happy little group of photographers. Just think of all the various software programs that exist to make sure those who use DSLR's can enhance manipulate or otherwise embellish their "real photograph"

Phones will never be a serious tool for serious photographers. For people who just want to snap around and not create photographic art have at it. Fact is that those people that bought cameras thinking they would learn how to use them and didn't have discovered the cell phone instead for their mostly meaningless snaps (Don't get your panties in a twist - I said mostly). This is called natural selection in the animal world (Those who know photography and those who don't)and explains the drop in numbers.

I totally disagree with your first statement. What if a serious photographer is in serious need of making a phone call?

Hi Morrison...It's Bubbee...
Just want to thank you again...I checked my D7100 manual and page 80 confirmed your advice re using iso's over 6400! I'll give it a try at our next family occasion. I'll be able to use a faster shutter speed and tighter aperture with the higher iso, and hopefully post will help with the noise. And then we'll see how the results compare to the cellphone's. I'll let you know! Thanks again!
