Well that didn’t take long. New year new camera. Actually, I’ve been turning this plan over in my mind for a couple of months. Anyone who has been following this blog will know I’ve been undertaking an awful lot of testing over the last few months, mostly with my iPhone. The conclusion I came to was very simple – the iPhone 13 camera just wasn’t cutting it. It wasn’t actually bad but it wasn’t really that good. I suspect the real problem lies with the dreaded computational photography – I just thought the results produced by the Apple camera app. were usually very suspect. (Of course your views may vary and that is fine.) So today was the day I took the plunge and podded out some more of my cash into the Apple money pit. I am now the proud owner of a iPhone 15 Pro.

There are so many new features I’ve got to get my head around but the first images are very promising. Now I really need to underline the iPhone 15 Pro is not really a match for my ‘proper’ camera and the selection of lenses I have built up over the years. What it is is the best camera I have with me all the time and so will be used when I’m out with family and friends when carrying a large back with a selection of lenses just isn’t going to work.

The weather has been impossible. We are having a very very wet winter and todays it has rained all day. Still I have got out and tried the camera in what will probably the most demanding conditions it is likely to face. It made quite a good fist of everything thrown at it. It is early days but I’m impressed.
