It appears to be using it tethered instead of a pad, or a laptop. But I could be wrong, that does happen. :lol:

Compare the camera in a cell phone from 5 years ago and compare to what is in there now.  Not to mention to get any decent photo from a stinky device of this size is pretty great if you ask me.  


I don't disagree with your comparison re: progress. I simply find that, overall, the quality of the photos that people find acceptable is low. And my observation is that "wonderful images from a iPhone (etc)" tend to have poor quality.

I don't have a bad attitude, I have a very high bar. On the other hand, I'm learning to be more politic when asked what I think about an image.

:rofl: :agree:

Yeah I also hold a high bar as well. I would like to see you get a really large acceptable print from a phone camera. The only cameras that they will catch up to and pass, maybe are P&S cameras. I think it will be more like they will have a similar image quality.   



OMG that cartoon is so funny!!

They are still improving.  I'd say the next 5 years should yield something that will change the way we look at cell phone photography.  That's my 2 cents and forecast.
