Also from earlier this month, super optics and sensor arriving on a Panasonic phone. I wish Apple would do this, too:

Panasonic’s incredible cameraphone is coming to America, Leica lens and all

In September, Panasonic made waves at Photokina by using a camera show to announce a smartphone. But the Lumix CM1 isn’t just any smartphone: it has a 1-inch sensor, the kind you’d find in high-end point-and-shoot cameras, plus an f/2.8 Leica lens that you’d be lucky to find on a high-end point-and-shoot. Along with a 20-megapixel sensor, this phone is designed to basically reinvent the wheel when it comes to smartphone cameras.

Hmmm. I’ll have to take a good look at that one.

Thanks!

Dude, you got owned.

Go crawl back in your hole and whisper, ‘Apple is Evil’ to your android until you find your happy place.

“You just tap on it to focus where you want”

So what? You do that now with an android phone. The article implies something else that is not in evidence.

The latest Galaxy have superior cameras to the iphone 6

The latest xxxxx have superior cameras to the Galaxy. If you don't like iPhones just don't buy them, problem solved. In the USA we still have the freedom to buy anything we can afford and if you have government assistance you can even buy things you can’t afford.

A talented photographer can take a better picture with marginal equipment than a talentless hack can take with the best equipment. Maybe you just don't have the talent?

No, because I still have no idea what the point of the article is if the latest and greatest iPhone camera has the very same technology as the android I’ve been using for years. The article implies you don’t ever have to focus, which is simply not true and misleads the reader. My beef is not with the iPhone, but the stupid author of this article.

Thanks you.

I keep smugmug alive I guess from the days I used to get a few side photo and video jobs. There hasn’t been any in a couple of years and I toy with turning it off.

Then I look at the internal hit counters and see that people look a lot.

In addition, the screen’s Quad-HD resolution is far superior to the Apple 6.

That resolution is all hype and causes laggy playback and stuttering in loading. There is NO REASON for a phone to had QUAD-HD resolution. . . except Hype. No one can see the differences unless you have a microscope. All you get is a battery and memory hogging waste of resources for little advantage.

i am still waiting for your apology for your FALSE and snarky assertions that professional photographers do not use iPhones for professional work. You said they did not and I have proved that they indeed DO. Please post your apology.

Apple fanboy just reached my retching threhsold - i just barfed. What a drone!

You don't like facts???? Retch away. FACTS are facts. It is absolutely amazing how you guys will put your fingers in your ears and cover your eyes and start screeching "YAH YAH YAH YAH, I can't hear you, and I can't see the FACTS right in front of my face!"

GAWD! You are and Code Toad as bad as LIBERALS! You live in denial because you cannot admit that Apple can have good products. You people are literally sick with it.

I wonder how Ansel Adams would have done with an iPhone camera? He did okay with that massive box camera.
