Probably there is some truth behind it, i.e. lots of DSLR shooters not
knowing how to use their camera.


I think they are right of course.

But a miracle has happened in the amateur realm. For a while now,
professionals have been in competition with Uncle Harry with his big DSLR at
weddings. He is always there, and shooting all of your poses and making his
own wedding album and taking people's time and attention away from you.

Well, miracle of miracles, nowadays they are all shooting everything with
their phones! No more competition on image quality at least. And the people
will pay a lot less attention to the amateur with the phone than the
interloper with the Nikon. Hallelulia!


Pretty funny. I recently got an iPhone 5, and, well, the camera sucks
unless conditions are optimal. And yes, fringing can be an issue to a
great degree.

I'll stick with a real camera.
