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.

Eric Stevens
Because he was expecting something quite different and found he was caught by surprise when he realised what his friend was talking about.

what's funny about that?

anyone who laughs at a smartphone camera is an idiot.

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

Eric Stevens
No, that's only your best guess.

nope. it's my opinion and that of many others who actually use one.

<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.
