Sounds like there's a few of us in the same boat, where our priority is the photo+video quality.
Coming from a previous life as a pro-photographer who has since sold all his gear, I almost always default to the "telephoto" lens (which is really a 'normal' lens in old-school photographer speak ;) ) on the 6+, 7 and now X, and am still astonished at the quality that you can get out of a smartphone.
The HDR on the photos+video of the newest models is very tempting... but I can wait out the year and either get one 2nd hand or whatever model replaces it.
I use all those nav assistance features too (offline topo maps yay!).
- arethuza 8y agoI just have the basic iPhone 7 - so I am quite keen to get the "telephoto" option.
- matwood 8y agoI can't quite get across the hump of selling my gear. I have cut way back though. The only lenses I use anymore are my 300mm zoom and my 50mm. Obviously, the reach with the first is great, and the 50mm just takes amazing pictures.
- photojosh 8y agoI sold mine so I couldn't take any more jobs. Otherwise it would be too tempting. But agreed, I wish I had more versatility in focal lengths. Sad to see none of the "external sensor body that uses the phone as main UI" devices (Olympus Air, Sony QX) really took off.
