Interesting comparison but it all depends what you want to achieve with your photography (and how deep your pockets are).

Cameras in phones are all designed to satisfy people who are primarily interested in just the subject (for example, their best mate misbehavin'?) and don't have a clue about what potential photography has as an artform. They're snapshot cameras for average consumers just to record an event. Of course a good photographer can get the best out of one but the camera is limited, just as a compact digital has limitations when compared with a professional DSLR.

....So true!  :happy2: And it's the reason I always carry my FinePix F500EXR compact with me all the time - Because it's small enough to be able to.

Read this earlier at lunchtime.

Also true about carrying cameras and why I went for a high-end compact rather than a dSLR.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

+1 But even though I have 3 including my phone I never seem to get any spur of the moment pics :rolleye:

But in regards to the Iphone vs DSLR Yes the picture quality on the Iphone or quite a few other phones is now good it still wouldn't replace my SLR. I couldnt picture myself (no pun intended) Standing up on the side of a hill pointing my Iphone at passing aircraft :laugh: Unless I can get my hands on one of these



But one thing I have been thinking about lately, would it be possible to develop an app for the Iphone which would allow you full control over the camera e,g shutter speed etc.

How would you connect the iPhone to the camera?

That was on the gadget show a couple of months ago, very cool but could probably get a feature packed compact for the money
