What’s the best camera? It’s the one you have with you.

Posted August 16, 2009

So we went to the Hollywood Bowl last night (thanks Rebecca for inviting us). In trying to get through the gate, they wouldn’t let me go through with a tripod. I was kind of figuring that they wouldn’t let me through. I checked in the tripod but then they wouldn’t let me get through with my DSLR. I asked him why. His response was, “It’s too big.” The only camera I had left was the one on my phone. My point is, sometimes we are looking for the best camera or best DSLR. Sometimes the best camera is the one that you can take with you. I don’t like taking my big camera with me all the time because it is just too inconvenient. Actually, some of the first pictures of some news stories have come from camera phones, such as the US Airways Flight 1549 emergency landing. Here are some recent pictures I’ve taken with my camera phone, including a picture from last night’s fireworks show at the Hollywood Bowl. As for the other shots… a shot from the fireworks show at Disneyland and a shot from my fishing trip a couple of weeks ago.
