Ok, we get it. You shot it with your phone. You brought your DSLR, but you fell into a fountain and waterlogged all your gear. The repair estimate was nearly $2,000, except you went to Thailand and got it fixed for $120. Good thing you had your iPhone.

The quality was so good that your client, a barber named Steve who has never paid for photography, couldnt tell the difference.

When your friend challenged you to take a night shot with your phone, you muttered, bring it on... more

Shipments of digital cameras with built-in lenses were flat, compared with the same period in 2016.
