The Camera+ app does macros

that's what i don't get, the guy says he was 2.5 inches for the "subject"..
isn't that macro? on the native app? so what's the differences?
because i found it hard to focus below 8 inches..
but again i tried going around 2 inches and the native app DOES get a macro
when it wants to..

so.. :confused:

Because DSLRs shoot 4:3 and most standard print sizes are close to the 4:3 capture. If it shot 16:9 by default and you wanted to print standard size images you would crop off significantly more of the resolution. Believe it or not, but some folks still print ;)


There is no magical aspect ratio and there's nothing inherently "better" about 3:2 than 5:4, 1:1, 7:5, or 4:3. Pictures come in all shapes and sizes and have been cropped to interesting aspect ratios since photography began. The right aspect ratio is the one that fits either: the subject or the viewing method.

I would bet that 95% (or more!) of pictures taken on iphones are only ever viewed on 16:9 devices. Even if it isn't the default, 16:9 ought to be an option. Certainly FAR more people would use 16:9 than the "square" option that is built-in to the camera app.
