Agreed. Why get an Apple camera if it's going to do the same thing as the iPhone? The step up would be DSLR if you have to carry a separate device.

There was no truth in your post, just an opinion and a bad attitude.
Since you did not understand the point of my post I will try to put it into simpler terms for you. The point is that Apple is capable of entering new markets regardless of their current involvement. However, Apple is already more involved in the camera market with the iPhone than than they were with phones. They are better positioned in 2014 to make a camera than they were in 2007 to make a phone, because they already have the software foundation in iOS. They already sell the most popular camera in the world, it's not a stretch to think they could expand that into a more full-featured camera.
True, but nobody said they should make a DSLR. However, neither a point and shoot nor a DSLR would be an impossible feat... though I would certainly expect a point and shoot before Apple would ever make a DSLR.

No, not really. It's the best Apple smart device, but unless you have a specific need for an Apple device, one can easily find better alternatives, depending on how one values things.
Question, how much will you be willing to pay for this theoretical iCamera and not taking into account the actual camera part, what hardware (CPU, RAM, display, etc) do you expect to see in it?
Of course nothing is impossible as we see in everyday life. Apple could make DSLRs and camera. When the mantra nothing is impossible is used, I 100% agree.

There are clearly trade offs in smart phone cameras, but a lot of credible reviews rank the 5s camera at the top of the heap overall.

Hell no. Since when is one focal length get and no image stabilization the best point and shoot?

I don't care if you people want one I just find it amazing how narrow minded you all are.
Before you call a whole forum narrow minded, others are entitled to an opinion with being labeled in a negative fashion.
Hell yes. It isn't needed. As a "pro" photographer, or even an amateur, you ought to know better.
Don't pay his toll, this bridge is free.
