    Although the I phone camera is pretty amazing, I think I would still like to carry a smaller point and shoot instead. Especially a full frame mirror less if that counts in this category ^^ At least this way you will get a little more flexibility and control over your subject matter. Certainly for emergencies and beyond though a smart phone more often than not fills the void for sure.

    That is quite something isn't it? I believe I have seen these 10x zooms as well at some local events here. These little zooms remind me of the Leica Elemarit 90mm in terms of size and weight only of course ^^

    I sure do not, even though my iPad mini is always with me. However, I have seen many others do so.

    Nope. However I do use my phone when my wife sends me to the store to make sure I'm getting the right thing. :-?

    Just read bad things about it (outdated hardware with a zoom lens on it, other smartphones take better quality pictures). Didn't read the other pages of this thread, but did you ever consider the Nokia 808 Pure View?

    Just curious, has anyone looked at or own the Sony QX100? It seems like a good idea.

    re qx100 , both Digital rev and camerastore reviews are similar though Kai doesnt spell it out like Chris does.

    summary .. cool but no icecream.
