Is the iPhone 7 camera the end of DSLRs?

I wonder how many Congolese slaves, men, women and children, it took to mine the Coltan that went into all the iPhone 7s that were sold today around the world.

Do you sincerely care or are you just being contrary?

Well as an Apple/ any other electronic gismo user and a westerner I don't really as it doesn't affect me directly. I would say that that is true for 99% of the population of wealthy countries.

As a Human I am again reminded that money, as it always has, trumps ethics and everything else

I just saw this when reading an article, I laughed a little.

He's a professional photographer and he can't take as good photos as the iPhone 7 Plus with the Canon 5D? That makes no sense (possible troll maybe?).

I've been checking out some full resolution photos that were taken with the new iPhones and I don't see how they are dslr quality. I don't understand it...

You can get decent images, VERY decent images from ANY camera. It's all about working to the best of the camera's capability, and shooting in good light.

the exif had ISO 20 .... so pretty good low light for that sensor correlated to what though ...

Take a large sub-par photo, run a lot of NR through it, reduce the file size to a thumbnail, adding sharpening, and convince all your friends you can take good pictures too!

Now this is interesting. I'm not against the iPhone taking good photos, but from the looks of everything it seems pretty damn good. I believe there will always be a field for the professional photo gear but these are good too

you think the shot with the cheerleaders looks good?

do you also think bugs bunny looks like a real rabbit?



No, they really don't look bad, but they are specifically processed to look good on a tiny little rinky-dink screen. they look good for CELL PHONE pictures; it's all relative.

Yeah that's what I'm saying. Never going to replace DSLRs. It's just interesting. Don't need to be an asshole
