Re: Fuji-v-Smartphone

I ride the DC Metro regularly, and Apple has some very good poster prints out, showing what can be done with the iPhone.

At normal viewing distance even these 30"x40" (or larger) posters look just fine.  You don't want to get too close to some of them, though, because the image will usually just disintegrate at close distances.

Anyone asks me what is the best camera, I tell them start with your smartphone, and if you find it too hard to take lousy pictures buy yourself a real camera.  Because the smartphone will do its best to deliver usable photos at all times and under all conditions.  The photography skill is built right in.

Besides, a nice Fuji setup is more expensive than a smartphone.
