Does it matter which camera you choose and use? Recently, I saw a collection of images in the Apple.com iphone gallery that are stunning and very hard to believe they were all taken with an iphone. Just wonder if anyone has seen these pictures and what are your opinions?

If you make large prints to sell, YES, and YES ....

Which camera matters to the extent that you are comfortable using it and can get the shots you want from it. Other than that, they all can take great photos, including iPhones.

The best camera is the one you have with you.

The main difference between dedicated cameras and phone cameras is the greater control and flexibility on image capture. Certainly amazing pictures are possible with an iphone. But the photographer is forced to work within the phone camera's relatively limited capabilities to achieve those photos.

I haven't seen the Apple gallery, but have no doubt that it would indeed be stunning.

However, your question about does it matter which camera is not addressed by a gallery of iphone images, or any other gallery dedicated to any given camera whether the camera is bottom of the barrel or top of the line...

A good photographer can make some kind of a good image using any kind of a camera. Hence things like Apple's gallery can exist. But when you choose a camera it isn't just to be able to get some kind, or any kind, of an image. You pick a camera to best produce your style, kind, quality or whatever of an image. If you like this kind and buy a camera that can't do "this kind", but will only do that kind... you've shot yourself in the foot.

Every camera is designed for a particular type of photography or a particular type of photographer. It is exceedingly important to choose a camera that fits your needs. Choosing one that fits the average, fits Joe McNalley's or Ken Rockwell's needs is only beneficial to the degree that their needs might overlap yours. If they don't, you've been suckered!
