[Leica] in-COMMUNICATION PROJECT

[zeissler at mac.com (Mitch Zeissler)]

Hi Ted,

I prefer the top image myself, and agree with your assessment of the second. 
 The biggest smartphone issues for me are as follows:

- Lack of dynamic range
- Lack of RAW support
- Lack of fast glass
- Lack of different focal lengths

However, for being a camera that's always with you, it's very hard to beat.?

Cheers,

Mitch
