Ars Technica have written an interesting article comparing an iPhone 4S to a small sample of digital cameras and asking the question, “can the iPhone replacement?”
Their conclusion is that it depends on the type of “photographer” you are. For many the iPhone 3S is now good enough to be their carry round point and shoot camera. Although this conclusion might be pretty obvious to many, their article is still worth reading. Check it out here
There’s a lot to be said for cameras with dual card slots; Unfortunately my Canon 5D Mk I isn’t one of them! Yesterday we spent the day taking photos at Swanage (in the UK). When I checked my images this morning the card was almost entirely corrupt. After running a recovery tool (Camera Salvage) I got a few back, but for the most part they are very similar to the one below.
I’ve just tried a series of 80 test shots with the same camera and CF card and they are all fine. So, it’s left me in a bit of a quandary now about whether I have a problem with the camera, card or whether it was just a one off glitch. Technology eh?!
