The Handy Dandy Cameraphone
Did you know that the most popular cameras are the ones we carry around with us all of the time?
I’m talking about the camera on your phone!
Sure, they’re not the best quality, and you’re not going to land a job with National Geographic due to your cameraphone’s images (or could you?..), but at least you’ve got it with you at all times.
These little cameras can have some really great use for photographers of all skill levels. Some are practical; like taking a pic of an item at a store and sending it to your spouse for approval, while some applications of these cameraphones are artistic; like taking a pic of a scene you want to return to when you’ve got your real gear with you during optimal lighting times.
I’ve been using the camera on my iPhone more and more and the some of the photography apps for the iPhone are pretty sweet.
The beauty of photography is that when you master the basics you can improve your art no matter what piece of gear you lug around. Apply the basics of photography, like composition, found throughout this website, and you’ll find that your little cameraphone really can pack quite a punch.

Some camera phones are really quite innovative. The 1.3 megapixel days are almost gone. Many camera phones offer 5 mega pixels or more. Sure its not perfect, but hey its so conveniently located on your phone, you can’t really complain! The only issue is to buy a memory card for your phone, so you can store all of the pictures without having to worry about occupying too much space.
hmmm...maybe I should get an iPhone.
very well shots I know you are using phone camera. Is it iphone or some thing else?
Apple given best in IPhone. Cameraphone must need to be something like stunning iphone.
Yeah I really do use my camera phone more than my Digital SLR camera, so there is some truth to that.
Canon cameras is available from third party software vendors, such as. Although these vendors are beginning to implement more extensive support for nikon dslrs, canons are usually supported first because so many more people are using canons for astrophotography. Canon eos digital slr cameras can only use ef auto-focus lenses. When canon designed their eos system, they completely redesigned the lens mount. Canon's previous fd lens system for film slr manual focus cameras are not made for eos bodies. The lens flange to focal plane distance for the fd series is 42mm. The lens flange to focal plane distance on the eos series is 44mm. You can get a simple mechanical adapter that will mount fd lenses on eos bodies, but they will not focus at infinity. You can also get a more complex optical adapter that has lens elements that will allow focusing of fd lenses at infinity on eos bodies, but the canon version is no longer manufactured and is difficult to find and very expensive when available. 26x multiplier factor which made the focal length of the lenses longer and also slower by that factor. As with the use of any multiplier or converter, optical quality also suffered somewhat.
