  1. Hey all, I have been a Fuji fan for 8 years now. I love my cameras and have managed to get some great photos from them over the years. Just for the record, up until recently I have hated when people post phone camera pictures on facebook and forums etc. One thing I have noticed is the gap between a 'Real' cameras and a phone cameras has gotten closer. Even though its always easy to tell the difference, I think to the casual viewer they would never really notice or care. The photo message is protrayed regardless of a few small differences. I have always looked down on phone camera photographers and still do, BUT I have decided to ditch the real one and become a phone cam person myself. I am finding the whole portability thing an issue, and I like that I can slip a phone into my pocket. I also notice that phone cameras are more forgiving of bad setting errors, especially when you need to take a quick unplanned picture. I think the smarts in a phone have gotten to a point that its prety hard to take a dud shot. On the contrary the im still way too slow on the manual adjustments for a SLR. Carrying lots of big lenses is also a drag, not to mention the weight etc. Im also finding it hard to justify updating my camera when the body can cost 2 or 3 times as much as a phone that can do 80% of the work. So why am I writing this? Why dont I just dissapear into the sunset quietly? I think Im just leaving Fuji some feedback. It might be interesting to stray away from the traditional path of SLR and look at products easier to carry. For example, Id like to see a camera that was flatter but was also a phone. It was designed primarily as a camera first and a phone second. Something that meant we have superior quality photography that didnt also mean we had to carry two items around. The compromise could be a fatter than normal phone. This would allow for a bigger battery as well.
