would be cool if it worked like a notification led, as well. kinda hoped the 6s would have it.
Yeah, but most people aren't going to pay $1000-3200 for a full frame mirrorless camera body only, then another $500-1000 for a decent lens that can handle the resolution. I'm one of those people who will, but most people will not.
What is interesting about smartphone photography is that there is a freaking fast computer with advanced software mixed into the equation. It's going to be amazing to see what they can do in the future. Apple bought that company that uses multiple cameras to blend together higher-res photos and simulate DOF effects by measuring the perspective to objects in the offset. I'm really interested to see what that entails.
What's nice about the new iPhone is that I won't feel as guilty if I leave my camera gear behind on short outings with my kid. I can still get decent snapshots and it's far less of a hassle than having to download the RAW files to my rMBP, import to LR, edit, and then share with family and friends on our photostream. I might get better results, but for everyday photos the iPhone is excellent and better than the hassle 75% of the time.
Omg…enough about the 16GB base storage already!
Forget about it. Trying to compare your cellphone camera to a Nikon DSLR will always end in disappointment with the cellphone. The image sensor on phones is smaller and of course, well, the lenses. For anything super important stick with your DSLR. Speaking of DSLR cameras I have my eye on Sony's new A7RII/A7SII mirrorless cameras. They are both DSLR killers.I bought a Nikon DSLR over the summer because I wanted depth that I cannot get out of my iphone. I will wait to see how the new 6s compares, but I assume that the depth issue cannot be addressed by Apple. Otherwise, I may have just bought a camera I don't need.
DLSR-like is probably coming in the next few years. Apple bought that company that has that technology where there are two cameras and it creates the effect of having a DLSR. It's still not DSLR, but fine for most people that they won't tell the difference (except they are carrying a phone and not something that won't fit in their pocket.I bought a Nikon DSLR over the summer because I wanted depth that I cannot get out of my iphone.

I have my doubts there would be much of an improvement.
Apple spent the last two years educating us on how larger pixels make for better images because each pixel can capture more light with greater accuracy. Now they've shrunk the pixels to give us more of them for a higher resolution image. And while they did make some mention in the keynote of new technologies they've invented/implemented to overcome the problems that cramming pixels closer together often cause (basically the information each pixel captures can contaminate it's neighbouring pixels, creating noise and loss of accurate detail in the image), the fact remains we're working with smaller pixels now.
If they pull off the same low light results as the 6 I'd be impressed. If they improve upon it, I'd be pleasantly surprised
Don't get too exited just yet! The images published earlier on MacRumors (https://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/22/iphone-6s-rose-gold-first-delivery/) were very bad IMHO. Too aggressive noise cancellation, lack of details, leading to "water color images" rather than crisp photos. And those were not even "low light" conditions (one photo being at a very low ISO 200!).
Better results than iPhone 6/6plus? Yes. Probably. Better than new Galaxy Line/LG G4? We will see
If people are buying the iPhone purely for it's camera quality then they are buying it for the wrong reasons. That goes for Samsung's phones or any other company's Smartphones. It shouldn't' be about who's winning or losing in the camera department, the overall need for everything the iPhone can do for the consumer should be the main concern when buying it.
This is just one example of the very unimpressive images taken with the new iPhone 6S:

Zoom in to see the very bad result of aggressive noise cancellation algorithms (due to higher pixel density -> more noise!), resulting in "water paint" photos. And noise can still be seen very clearly in the doggy's fur.

I'm tempted, because the Camera is the most important feature for me. But I finally paid off my 6 and I don't want to jump into another thing just because the camera may or may not be better - I foolishly bought into the "camera is so much better" meme the last 3 upgrade cycles on both the iPhone and iPad. So I'm keeping my Air and 6 for at least another few yrs.

admit it, you just want to post a picture of your cute dog.
It is a smartphone/portable computer. Not a £3000 and up dedicated pro photography camera.
Get over yourselves. If you lot lived in the North of England you'd be torn to pieces for your bleating armchair expertise.

From what I see, it's safe to say that my pocketable Sony RX100M3 is of a vastly better quality.
Having said that, I'll probably have the 6S in my pocket more, so it'll be a nice step up from my 4S.

I got over it by getting a 64g. Even 32g would be too small.
You do realize they offer cloud storage right? That's why Apple can get away with the 16GB entry level iPhone every year. Not saying they shouldn't increase it but I'm just addressing your issue with the 16GB storage. Cloud storage is Apple's answer to it.
It's not my dog (but yes, it's cute
) - those pictures were first posted by some blondie in California who got her pinkie phone "too early" (refer to previous MacRumors story a couple of hours ago).Crap reviews, washed out photos look over processed again by the noise reduction algorithm, not upgrading again...
Same thing as the previous 6 & 6+
I will keep my 5s another year to see if they decide to "really" improve the camera.

... you wouldn't need a £3000 camera! I mean, what's there to take valuable pictures of anyway!
