[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 166406, member: 13090"] Just as an experiment I'd like to see the Chicago Sun-Times put one of their currently terminated professional photographers back on the payroll but this time armed with an iPhone as their sole source for photography work for the paper. I think the results would be interesting because I think the *real* issue here is not so much iPhone vs. DSLR so much as having reporters trying to be photographers. I'm betting a real pro photographer could probably turn in decent shots using just an iPhone. DSLR quality shots? No, but again, I think it would be very interesting to compare the bodies of work submitted by both reporters and photog-pro after, say, one month; the only difference being the operator. Put another way, suppose I were to go on a photo safari with a National Geographic wildlife photographer. I'd have full access to his gear and he would only have access to mine. We shadow each other for three days. Same exact shooting conditions, same exact photo opportunities. Who do you think is going to turn in the better body of work? [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
