What I find a bit strange is that it is used mainly on top end cameras where you would expect top end results without needing RAW manipulation.<br />I suppose if photography is your main hobby and you have loads of time to spend then I guess it's worth playing around with.<AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-40899093669376330952016-08-16T09:41:25.610+01:002016-08-16T09:41:25.610+01:00Hi Ian.

The zoom I do use (I disable the digital zoom facility) but in my case I don't find using RAW then editing gives noticeably better results than shooting on Fine. That may of course be my fault and the editing software is fairly basic - Sony's own.<br /><br />I think you are right about the denise of cheap compacts, afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-68572238496307892002016-08-16T09:29:40.800+01:002016-08-16T09:29:40.800+01:00Hello Alan.

Good though the iPhone pictures are I can't see me ever leaving my compact behind when on the hill, but for the sort of shots in this post the iPhone is superb. The 6s Plus does have image stabilisation which helps no doubt, although I've nothing with which to make a direct comparison. All that said, if I forgot my camera and had the iPhone with me I wouldn't be turning afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-65656999201661647232016-08-15T22:58:25.835+01:002016-08-15T22:58:25.835+01:00I agree that the iPhone camera is superb but two a...I agree that the iPhone camera is superb but two advantages of a compact are (a) optical zoom and (b) ability to shoot in RAW. I think high-end compacts will survive for these reasons but cheap ones will simply disappearIan Sommerville.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08250241252861339865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-46777486265567048892016-08-15T10:58:31.486+01:002016-08-15T10:58:31.486+01:00They show how good the camera is on the 6s.
