Nice story, glad everyone had a good time.

I have often gone out with friends to a shoot, they with iPhone and moi with DSLR.

On the iPhone display, the iPhone photos look excellent and often look punchier than what I see on the rear LCD of my DSLR in the field.

However, as soon as I get home and upload the Raw DSLR images to my PC, they absolutely blow away the iPhone photos in these areas:


  • When viewed full size or even just full screen (2560x1440) on a monitor.
  • Their resilience to even mild, let alone aggressive processing.
  • The ability to crop the scene and retain stunning image quality and detail.
  • You inspect the photo critically for image quality.


Most of the above are more or less nullified when just viewed on an iPad size screen. So, it really depends on what the end point or purpose is; just to spark up the memory and re-live happy times or produce a large print, etc.

Cheers
