rdscibilia: How does compare to the Nokia 808 of 2012?
Then there's this. I bought the 808 a couple of years ago (new) for not too much over $100. :)

I have had an 808 for over two years. It's capable of some very good imaging. I haven't seen the output of the P20; I'll take a look.

rdscibilia: I'm still waiting for a firmware update to lock focus distance on the Coolpix A.
Maybe for Nikon, not for me. :) It sounds like a fix they could make without too much night work, frankly. Overall, quite a good camera.

Processing costs? I've heard they're considerable for not very much footage.
Mick Jagger will take 20 for Christmas gifts.
mckracken88: I pity the fool that takes photos with a phone...
Release the McKraken!
I think you really need to show your stuff to us poor fools who believe it’s not the tool that makes the photographer.
Christian Grevstad: Why are you writing the RICOH GR ii is "one of the smallest fixed lens APS-C cameras currently on the market", when it's by far the smallest ever made??
The Coolpix A may be discontinued, but I bought one just a few months ago for 400 bucks . Excellent camera
Dillon Frazier: When you can get a real mirrorless camera like the G7 or a6000 for this price, how does Canon expect to sell any of these? (Aside from the fact that there are people who will buy for the name)
I bought the original M when it was $299. It's a very good $299 camera. Take that as you will.

"Full-frame" is an arbitrary metric, a carry-over from the celluloid era. There is nothing sacred about that or any other pixel matrix or pixel size. Sensor size is far from the most important aspect of serious photography.
rdscibilia: I thought The EOS M had been discontinued...
I own one. Better than the rumors.
Manah: phone photography! What is the freaking point? Is it because they are too lazy to carry a real camera and lenses that we should make this a topic? Ridiculous! DPreview, please focus on photography, not cell phones.
Ah, the real and the unreal, only this time applied to cameras themselves. :). Let me assure you that the iPhone is a "real" camera.
Morgan David: All great, exept for the cheating picture 6 that most certainly is not shot with a smartphone.
This DOF is not achievable with the size of the iPhone sensor.
Smartphones are often criticized for their alleged inability to produce shallow focus, bokeh effects, etc. i'm simply remarking that this style was not always as favored as it appears to be today.

What makes you think that shallow focus is a superior way to make photographs? You have heard, in cinema, of people like Orson Welles and William Wyler? Sometimes you want shallow focus, sometimes you want deep focus.
tomatoketchup: Excellent... more tyros holding their gigantic pads out at arms length will now be able to swing their monstrosities from left to right, looking even more like complete tools.
Yes, we all know photography is about how you look doing it.
rdscibilia: The iPhone needs more megapixels, although it appears Apple is not going in this direction. A quality eight-megapixel image is fine, but you need some space for cropping.
Okay, I'll settle for 10. :)
