Thanks for the info.  I admit I know nothing about smart phones.  I only know the photos I see that have been taken with them, and perhaps that is due more to the amateur photographer than the camera.

Most people don't know how to take a good photo no matter what the device.  If using a point and shoot camera, you need to depress the shutter button down HALF WAY to let the lens focus then press it all the way down.  With my iPhone, I let it focus before I press the shutter button.  If you don't, the photos are blurry.

I can't believe the blurry pictures people post online.  If that is the only photo they have of a family event or special occasion, what a shame.

Exactly!  

I put together an exhibit of only iPhone images.  Some printed 5x5 all the way up to 20x20.  

A phone camera is merely a tool and it needs to be used as one.  Actually, a camera is a camera....the more you learn to use it, the better the outcome.

And what is a "real camera" anyway, digital? film? alt process? wet plate?
