Well I suppose it would be easy to discount iPhone pictures in a camera forum. I have been impressed with my new iPhone 11 Pro’s pictures and iOS 13.

When thinking about it I only appreciate the iPhone 11 Pro’ new photography features due to a deeper understanding that a dedicated camera brings. IMHO the new “Pro” only mimics the greater potential of a dedicated camera. This is not a snub of those that want an in pocket solution for their photography

When thinking about my 40 years+ of photography as a hobby, I certainly don’t get the same pleasure with the iPhone 11 Pro, that a do with a dedicated camera. My old school darkroom work at a camera store, through college, probably makes me dedicated camera centric, but I do appreciate new technology.

Could an iPhone 11 Pro user outdo me with my XPro-2? Well, maybe, but so far I just can’t totally get into abandoning photography with a multi-lens, dedicated camera system, even as a hobby. I just don’t get into the same groove and/or mindset while taking photos. I thank Fujifilm for that!
