Trying to get some examples of pics that the digicam can do better than a phone. I was up the mountain again on Saturday morning. I’ve seen some cunning designs for telephoto lenses for phones using a mirror or prism so they can run lengthwise down the phone body. But at present telephotography on phones is minimal. Still. With a similar sized sensor, a digicam photo just has a busy crowded feeling compared to the crispness of a bigger sensor like even a micro 4/3 camera.

Back on my mountain walk this morning for the first time in a long time. Amazingly there were cultists bellowing early Wednesday morning. I took @withoutaleaf’s old canon S95 digicam. Apart from the zoom lens I’m not sure that the results are really better than my phone.
