Re: Smartphone camera vs Canon 650D with shocking result

I've used my iPhone for photos on many trips where I did not want to carry my dslr and lenses around with me.  The results are always excellent, because the in camera processing is optimized for these small cameras.  But, as good as the final image may look, they come with some serious limitations.

I have yet to see any smartphone camera that does very well in low light.  They also do not stand up well to cropping, and have very limited zoom options.  If you need a nice quality snapshot, these are great.  For any specialized work though, they leave a lot to be desired.

They have their "sweet spot," and if you stay there the output can be very impressive.  Get too far away from that, and they just won't cut it.
