Don't get me wrong, I am as much an advocate of the darkroom wet and/or digital as much as any of us geeky types, but we are not the mainstream. Most photographers today are shooting with phones and their photographs will never be printed, never entered in a competition, but will be briefly displayed on a phone in a transmitted message.

My son, sadly, is in this group. He has a Nikon DSLR, but since he went to an iPhone he has not used his Nikon. All his images are still on his phone. He is a techno-klutz, and isn't interested in knowing how to do anything with his photos other than leaving them on the phone.

that's very common. slrs are a pain to carry. smartphones aren't, and are often good enough.

for a special event, he will probably want the slr.

What's more special than his wife being sworn in as a citizen?

Nothing! It was one of my wife's proudest moments. However for me that was before I had a digital camera, so I used a Pentax fixed lens compact 35mm to record the moment. The worst part was having to go down to L.A. for the event.
