laugh-at.html> "This is the camera I have been using lately," I said as I pulled my iPhone out of my pocket and framed him on my screen. He sat there waiting expectantly, as he had misunderstood and thought I was going to show him a picture on my phone of whatever fancy camera I am now using. Then Floyd realized I had I had just taken his picture with my iPhone and it was the camera I was talking about. He burst out laughing. I took another shot.

I think I would laugh in the same circumstances.

nospam
why?

the camera in the 5s is very good, and *far* more portable than a nikon d3 or d4 with multiple lenses.

Eric Stevens
If I have to explain a joke to you it ceases to be funny.

nospam
what makes you think he was joking?

i'm quite sure his iphone 5s really is the camera he has been using lately.

Eric Stevens
Why do you think Floyd was laughing?

nospam
because he's a condescending elitist asshole who will never admit that a camera in a phone can give his bulky kit a run for its money?

just a guess.

no it won't be the best choice in all situations but it can be in quite a few.

<http://austinmann.com/trek/iphone-5s-review-patagonia> 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 & consŠ 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.
