Of all
the things that smartphones can do - help us cheat at pub trivia nights or avoid
having to talk to strangers, for example - their greatest feature has to be the
camera. Having a reasonably capable camera in your pocket at all times is useful
when your friends and associates decide to do something blackmail-worthy or
when, like me, you’re walking around at three in the morning and say, “That looks
spooky.” Portability, and the fact that it does all the heavy lifting for you
as far as settings are concerned, has allowed me to use my iPhone to capture images
I never would have bothered with if I'd had to lug around a camera the size of
Optimus Prime's lower 48.
