Travel Photo Thursday: Getting “Smart” about Cameras
Nearly a year ago in “Travel Photo Thursday: Junk Your Camera!” I suggested that travelers might well throw away their digital point-and-shoot or DSLR cameras in favor of using the cameras built into their smartphones.
A few months later, I did just the opposite: I bought a new Sony DSC-RX100 digital camera to replace my Canon Elph which I’d used for the past four years.
And while I do occasionally shoot still photos with my iPhone 5, I normally use it only for recording video.
But here’s a guy who proves that the iPhone (in his case, the iPhone 4) with an array of photography apps installed on it can work wonders with “street photography.”
