The all-improved 5s camera

Once in a while, I will share updates on new cameras and lenses that I find interesting. Hopefully, you will find it useful while making your camera / lens choices.

First off, I wanted to share this wonderful post that compares the iPhone 5s camera with that of the 5. Please note that this is not a comparison of the best smartphone cameras... just an indication of what one can do with a camera that is often in your pocket.

iPhone 5s Review: Patagonia by Austin Mann

This iPhone 5S beats out the 5 in every camera test and in many ways I prefer it to my DSLR.  Sure it has its pros & cons… but for the first time ever, I didn't bring my Canon 1DX and I didn't regret it one bit. That's saying a lot. 

The quiet beauty behind the iPhone 5S is what I find most powerful. The upgrades they made here aren't ones that sell phones… instead, they focused on making the pictures better, even if it's silent innovations in features no one even knows about… it's not max megapixels or other flashy specs. The results are amazing and at the end of the day, people are going to really like the pictures coming from their iPhone 5S… and that's really all that matters!


Wow! Coming from a pro, that's saying a lot. The best camera is the one in your hand when a shot presents itself to you. It's the visualisation that matters most.
