I, POINT-AND-SHOOT, hereby call to order the inaugural
meeting of the Secret Society of Digital Cameras That Are Sick
and Tired of the iPhone. Ultra Zoom. Micro Four Thirds. Budget
Digi Camera that takes AA batteries. Thanks for coming.
I think everyone knows why we're here in the basement of this
abandoned Circuit City in Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J. I mean, it's in the
name of our club: the iPhone. A lot of you have been sitting in
junk drawers, so I'll bring you up to speed. It ain't just a phone.
It has a camera. And not one of those 1.3-megapixel numbers
from a decade ago. This is the real deal. People have already
started documenting their breakfasts with it. We're in trouble.
Have you checked out Flickr lately? The iPhone is the site's
most-used camera. Instagram, an app that let's people share
photos, reached 27 million users to become one of the world's
biggest social networks. It hit that milestone purely with the
iPhone. Last time I checked, we took photos. Where is our piece
of the zeitgeist pie?"

Well, I've met the iPhone half way, and import micro-4/3 camera images to my Ipad2, with which I process the images using some of the myriads of photo processing apps available for iOS. It's a great work flow for on-the-road, mobile photography.
