Question - the iPhone pic - were you able to tap on the shadowed area for the
light meter to calibrate? That's a function that sometimes works and other times
under or over exposes - can also mess up the focus.
that dog was awesome. his/her rear almost stretched the other side of the truck. super calm and docile.

I tapped on the dogs face when taking the picture. I didn't mess with the slider up and down to adjust exposure though.

Thanks for the explanation - each one is different - and both good.

Confirms my wish for P&S that shoots RAW.

One thing that is being revealed at WWDC is that iOS 10, which is due in the fall, will have an API for extracting RAWs from the cameras of the most recent iOS devices -- iPhone 6S and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.

So camera apps. would be written to save RAWs instead of JPGs from compatible devices.

Of course I mostly shoot videos and panoramas with my iPhone so it won't matter but nice to have the option.

There are apps that allow for more control over the camera. Apps like ProShot (which I got for free from a Starbucks Rewards promo) is quite good and gives you pretty much manual control of the camera.

yes I agree. I know a lot of great games and applications for Android and I just because I have an iPhone, I have denied it.

I pretty much only use my iPhone for pictures these days. We have a GoPro that we've used a handful of times (we have only had it for 6 months, so not that long), and we have a DSLR that we rarely use - it just takes up too much space in a bag.

My brother gave me a very cool case called 'Moment' that has an app and several different lenses you can use to amplify the power of the iPhone camera. I'm seriously considering using that as my 'camera' the next time I upgrade my phone. Carrying a separate camera around for someone like myself who is a very casual photographer just doesn't make sense. Maybe I could be convinced to get a high-powered point-and-shoot down the road...but unlikely.
