[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1695310"] A phone (any phone) is NOT a serious camera, and probably never will be, IMHO. If you are a serious photographer, the phone (any phone) is not a good platform. Even if the camera were stinking brilliant, even if the video was studio quality, the form factor is not conducive to good photography. The phone lacks the stability, mass, handleability to be a professional device. Of course, you could add on tripods, balances, lenses, whatever, but then it's not useful as a mobile phone because you have to carry all that stuff around. "Shutterbugs" need cameras. No Tarot readings needed. Phone makers hype the camera because it's for the tourist who doesn't want to lug a camera bag around with them as the wander through Versailles with the other 200,000 tourists carrying phones. And from your comments about thickness, headphone jacks and antennae it's apparent you have read the latest rumor rag about the iPhone7. Want to know what's in the iPhone 7? You'll have to wait, like the rest of us, for Apple to announce it, assuming it even exists. [/QUOTE]
