That\u2019s 6.5 years of engineering and 2.8x the price. A more appropriate comparison would be a $1,000 camera from even 2008 and I doubt the iPhone would match its quality. I fired up photos and looked at 2009. Looks like I was primarily shooting with a Canon Powershot G9 which was $600 and the photos look very similar to what I\u2019m shooting today with my iPhone 8 Plus minus the software effects like filters and portrait mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pro-iPhone \u2018photographers\u2019 like to paint the picture of how amazing the iPhone is at pictures but I still don\u2019t see it. The iPhone takes photos of beer bottles for me and everything else I use a real camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rob Griffiths: This is a comparison of a $349 camera released January of 2011 and a $1,000 camera&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-08-28T21:16:29Z","apple_news_api_id":"8d21d1b2-ff79-4074-a10b-de273550e44b","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-08-28T21:16:33Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AjSHRsv95QHShC94nNVDkSw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7552","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1XO","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2325,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/04\/28\/using-the-iphone-as-my-only-camera\/","url_meta":{"origin":7552,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 &#8220;Using the iPhone As My Only Camera&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 28, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Read.
