Hi crew,

If you were going to buy, for a better name?  "A camera-phone?" which would 
you consider best "CAMERA PHONE" on the market?

I don't care if I can talk to some one in Berlin or my next door neighbor! 
Communication isn't relative. I want the best and most adaptable as a 
camera?  THINK "absolutely cool camera!" Not an iphone that can make images 
and talk to your long lost uncle at the same time! However that maybe as 
good as they get?

It's for a research program I was asked to think about and be involved in as 
a "FOR REAL PHOTOGRAPHER?" Using an iphone? Or whatever they're called? And 
not an EIO!... "ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT OPERATOR." Someone who knows all the 
telephone/radio/maps/apps? Whatever the hell that is???  And all the other 
magical things one can  do.... and who knows how to make? 
.."PHONE-EXPOSURES!" 

But doesn't have any idea about shooting good, bad or ugly photography! 
"USING LIGHT" or any of the basics of being a photographer making 
interesting photographs.

I figure if I start here ON LIST at least I have photographers who may have 
lots of experience with these magical instruments. So at least I'm starting 
out with  a good exposing machine. IE.. "A camera that is also a 
communications instrument."

Thank you all if and when you have a spare moment for a word of experience 
and your  wisdom!

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
