    Isn't being a pro iPhone photographer kinda like being a pro VHS camera videographer? Sure you can repair a car with fixit tools but if you are a pro shouldn't you want pro level tools to do the work even better? I don't understand him I guess. #digitalcameras

    So, the secrets of pro iPhone photographers are...the secrets of photography?

    Seriously guys. There's taking fantastic pictures with iPhones....and there's claiming that the iPhone is the inspiration behind basic principles of good photography.

    I suppose next you'll claim that color didn't exist before the iPhone. #digitalcameras

    I assume some/many of these photos were taken using some kind of stabilising stand? At least the iPhone 3G appears to make very fuzzy photos when hand-held, especially in rather dark conditions. #digitalcameras

    @Coolmodo: I hate to compare myself to a surgeon, but professional photographers do generally have steady hands. There are also a couple of programs that use the accelerometer to take the picture when you're not moving much. These pictures are alright, but mostly seem to depend on preset filter effects...they're not really all that interesting. #digitalcameras

    And this is why I wanted an ipod touch with a camera. With tons of photo applications on the app store the ipod could take the place of film lomography cameras.

    And I loves me some lomography #digitalcameras

    This actually inspired me to finally rip apart a DVD drive for the lens. It's awsome... make a little metal clip for my BB so it can slip up and down but always be ready.

    He have one very good point.

    There are just too many photographers out there that have professional rigs, but either don't know basic composition stuff like rules of thirds, or just don't know how to use the whole setup.

    I mean, nothing is worse than seeing an expensive dSLR owner using it ONLY in full-auto mode...

    Of course the ideal thing would be having all three:
    1. Creativity
    2. Knowledge
    3. Equipment

    You don't need all three to get great photos though... but it is in order of importance, as I see it.

    The best camera is the one you have with you. Which is why I bring my DSLR to work with me every day.
    I have an iPhone 3G, and it is seriously the worst camera I have ever used in my life.
    Dear Apple, please add a hard button to take pictures.

    Were the pictures altered/enhanced in post in any way? Not that I'm putting doing that down, if they were. You can pretty much have access to the same tools as the pros do nowadays free online, so there's more hope for the rest of us.

    @GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: You can alter a bad photo to make it better, but no amount of altering will make a badly composed photo into a great photo.

    I checked out the iphone photos he has online. I see this as proof that it's the photographer not the camera that makes a good photograph.

    Am i the only one that cares that the number of CDs held by an ipod is misrepresented?

    People, MP3s are not the same as CDs. You're losing when you don't compress
    lossless.

    @Strawman: I was thinking that, too. CDs hold .wav, usually, so if you think of each song as being at least 60 MB, you get a better picture. That's about 2000 songs, or somewhere around 200 CDs. HUGE difference.

    Although, granted, still a lot more than 1 CD and I could still put my whole collection on 1 iPod (if I had that big one).

    @thebigcheese: There's a similar misrepresentation with the 12" records. The number would be far smaller than that since records have zero compression and represent far more data in the subharmonic ranges that's usually clipped when changed to digital. I'd have to ask the audio tech guys at work for a guess at how much data would be for one record.
