Oh I see it now, ya and the people who keep saying you can't put bigger sensors in cell phone cameras because of physics lol. Yup 1" 20 mp sensor it is :)

And you can also find a million references that imply this group or that group prefers Apples Macs over PCs, yet Windows still dominates 90+ percent of the market world wide.

Just curious is any one out there has taken iphone pictures and how do they compare to point and shoot cameras. Also, any one planning or has order the iphone 6 or 6 plus. I've seen online some outstanding pictures taken with the iphones before, but lack information on technical specs.

Thank you,

For getting photos on a smart phone, be happy with what the tiny sensors can do, Even 8 megapixel cameras don't compare in image quality with most point and shoot cameras. I have been using the Sony QX-10 camera, which I can keep in my jacket pocket or pants pocket. It uses my phone as a viewfinder, and I can send the results immediately. It stores the images on a micro SD card at 18 megapixels. It has a 10 to one zoom. It will fit on most phones by stretching the folding clamps. If it could shoot raw images, it would be ideal. It has just been reduced in price and check it out on Amazon.

This sounds like the same discussion I've had with my daughter. The whole iXXXX infrastructure seems to work well for her, but I like the ability to configure as I wish that Android provides.

Yes but it's fine, it's not different than pics taken with DSLR's that are enhanced. I just find it more impressive to see sharp non noisy pics from cell phones than I do from the same taken with DSLR's. We all expect beautiful pics taken with a DSLR in the right hands, we don't expect as much with cell phones image quality wise. :)

Agreed. Very impressive performance from the smartphone.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. People discuss the beauty of its design and ergonomics and then stick it in large heavy Otter cases with built in batteries to make up for the iPhone's short battery life. Go figure.

I have a iPhone 4s and almost never take pictures with it outside because it is almost impossible to see the screen. I carry my Sony RX100M3. Will have the iPhone 6+ next month. I doubt the screen will be much better, if at all and still 8mp.

This is my first post on this forum even though I've been viewing for about a year. First off, the Samsung phones are years ahead of the iphones. My wife has a iphone5 that has been put away when she got the Samsung S5.

I also tabled my iphone when I got the Samsung Note 3. The picture quality of the Samsungs is far better than the iphones. In fact all the features are better. I still prefer my Nikon DSLRs to a phone picture. No matter what anyone tells you, Samsung is a better phone.
