Full blown depression!!! Now!!! Caution!

2mm lens gives infinite DoF, so yeah bokeh will not even exist.

I thought smaller formats have the same DOF.

(again, just joking)

Can you call your mother on your F2 ... of course not.

Game over ... ditch the Nikon!

Can you kill a bear with the iphone and then take a picture of said dead bear...??? NO...keep the F2 ditch the phone...

Good point ... and one I hadn't considered!

I think you have to get rid all your equipment, take all and send it to trash back your home........ ehhhh, could you give your address and the day you have in mind send to trash your equipment :angel:

 

[ampguy]

What's funny is that the distortion appears to be much less than the CV 35/1.4 lens ...

Have You Seen The I-phone Fashion Shoot....

Have You Seen The I-phone Fashion Shoot....

For those who suffer constant gas and always seek the camera that will make them a great shooter...

Here is one of those arguments that portend it is not the equipment, its the shooter (or something like that)

This is in perfect synch with your angst over the I-Phone:

Yeah looks OK in daylight - have you tried some low light shooting? Looks like sh*t I can tell you...

 

[johannielscom]

You are making me feel better.

Akiva,

what ISO settings does the iPhone have?

 

[Alpacaman]

The iPhone fashion shoot is pretty cool, although they did shop the files quite a bit:

I have actually been making calls with the phone and didn't get around to trying the camera until recently. Far better than it has any right to be... Also makes quite a decent print (7.2" on the long side at 360 dpi).

The pictures have the over-sharp edges though, don't throw away the developing tank yet.

The over-sharpening is probably my fault. I would need to invest a bit of time in figuring out a good workflow.

 

[johannielscom]

question: if micro 4/3 will become the new standard, what sound will be programmed into future camera phones?

 

[wgerrard]

Yeah, but RF's and such don't force you to sign a two-year contract at $85 or so per month.

Stop making excuses for the phone. You simply can't beat the natural, well balanced mixture of soft and sharpness that comes from a film camera:

Nice shot, er, deviant.

Need for sharp focus is a bourgeois affectation.

I bet the bokeh is lousy

Someone will put out an app for that

The iphone 4 is great especially to take pictures of raindrops on roses. I'm also liking the new HDR feature but it still isn't as great as my bessa.
