I think that can pretty much be said about a good majority of photo's. Expensive equipment etc.
Got a tip for us?

...which means that the fact that he shot it with an iPhone is pretty much irrelevant.
Stupid video, coming from a photographer as well.
Well, I agree somewhat.
In the end, they edit the photos anyways. The video doesn't really live up to what it says.
imo.
no hate'n.
i love how he says olympus in the beginning.
haha.

Interesting interview with Lee Morris (the photographer in the video) where he addresses the lighting and a lot of other questions.
He also answers the questions that people brought up here.

Not entirely true. I recommend the entry level DSLR to friends who complain the point-n-shoots are too slow. If you have little kids the speed and FPS of the DSLR is a must. So, kit lens + full Auto isn't all that bad if you bought the camera for its response time and FPS only. Don't get too angry at the soccer MILFs
the best camera
The best camera is the one that is most useful to you at the time you take a picture.
I used to carry an iphone 3G and a Canon P&S as day to day cameras. I took better shots with the Canon, because it was more versatile, exposure & ISO range, zoom lens, aperture range. But that came all to naught because the condition of NiMH batteries on the Canon (even with spares) deteriorated far more quickly than the Lithium battery on the phone. It turned out often that the camera I could rely on was the phone because it was the only one that had a charge when I needed it – to capture a particular moment.
I have since changed to a P&S with lithium batteries.
Moral of the story, you need a lens and a light sensitive medium to take photo. How good that photo is, is up to the photographer or chance.

Well a recent fashion photo shoot conducted by fashion photographer Lee Morris using only an iPhone 3GS for the camera work.
I like fashion photography very much, and these shots are really great! I'm impressed by the fact they have been made just with the iPhone. Of course I realize that there has been a lot of post-production, but actually who cares? The fact is, iPhone can sometimes stand in for the professional camera, though of course it will never be able to replace it.
Yeah I agree with pretty much everyone else as well. The emotion in the shot matters much more than the quality really
If you listen to the end all he was really saying, is pretty much any camera will do. He just happen to shoot with an iPhone. You don't have to have the best camera to take the best pictures.
Anyone that knows about two words about photography would tell you that the camera in 3GS is just pure crap.
Of course, if you take the pictures under the best possible conditions of light, movement of the target and the phone, then professionally retouch them in photoshop and show them at the appropriate size (3 MP is still 3MP), you get a good result.
Of course a real professional, like the guy in the video when he actually tries to make business, would NEVER use something like that. Saying that technology does not matter is plain stupid. Remember we come from analogical devices that shoot pictures at a much higher resolution than 3 MP and technology has been trying to catch up to that for a number of years. It's not that we are improving the quality a lot, it's that we are making it more convenient for professional work.
Remember resolution is not everything. How about light sensitivity? How about color realism?.
On top of that, you have to know how to use the technology to make a good picture, and that is what distinguishes a real professional from an amateur. You might be the best pilot in the world, but you don't go into the NASCAR with a 100 hp Honda, do you?
