I love the photos and the messages behind them - thanks for sharing such a great story! World Vision aim to shrink the social distance between people across continents, and it sounds like the...

Thanks for sharing your vision! It's inspiring to read work like this and see the World through another's eyes.

It's a lot faster, making it feel very different to the 4S. The results are very similar to those from the 4s, though. It's normally hard to tell the two apart by looking at the photos. DPReview...

I put a comparison with compacts and DSLR in an iPhone review that DPReview published on 24th Sept - have a look there. In good light outdoors, it's way closer than 4x6" v 16x20"... you have to...

Hi Larry, thanks for your comments... it's made me think a lot about why I did it!
I suppose my reasons are personal, and I respect that others will legitimately find them anathema.
As a person...

Good point. My previous family holiday was New Zealand with an LX5, and I left with a very different conclusion, possibly because I was shooting more landscapes. I found the tripod to be the...

Thanks for all the comments - I've really enjoyed the discussions, and it's great to have such a lively, friendly place to share ideas.

Here's what I'm taking away from the discussions I've been...

Thanks Showmeyourpics. When we set off, I certainly didn't share your confidence that I would be able to get any/many satisfying pictures with the phone. At the time, I hadn't fully explored its...

Thanks mosswings. But you give me too much credit. I'm disappointed in myself that in the middle of all those wonderful interactions, one part of me still kept wanting to put people in the sights...

Yes, a modern compact does better in all these senses. In spite of its many advantages, I've surprised myself how little I've been tempted to touch my LX5 compact since shooting with the...

I've printed some to 1m wide, and they do look grainy, sure. Partly, that's my processing: I'm happy to go a long way to spend grain to buy contrast and colour, and while I know the exchange rate...

Thanks, xiod. Yes, there are loads of limitations to the phone - the interface is just not speed-friendly at all, and compacts do a better job at most things. It's just a personal thing, that I...

Yup - agreed. I found that the iPhone did go a bit further though than just small cameras in helping interactions. Small cameras get in the way less, while handing over the iPhone actually HELPED...

Yes, both true. Although editing with apps is quick. The waterfall shot was the longest at about 15 min total. I'll be careful to keep the DSLR under control though, having felt its drawbacks, and...

The hyphens were all mine, I'm afraid, and your theory still stands - I'm English. My eyes have been opened-up ;)
The editor actually spared eveyone from my avalanche of commas.

That's a really insightful analysis of mobile photography. Thanks for sharing it.

Of the three/four types of photos, I wonder which types people are going to cherish the most later in life? I'd...

Thanks for the tip, Hubert. It would look SO wierd on an iPhone!

Thanks for the comprehensive write-up and great detail! The final set of images beautifully illustrate something else I've found with the iOS6 stitching app: it dynamically removes flare from...
