 Just picking up on some of the comments made. I agree that phone images when subjected to the same enlargement or scrutiny as camera images will fall short. But they aren't meant to be viewed on anything more than a phone, iPad etc. Not sure the manufacturers would talk so highly of their cameras performance if relating it to viewing on 40” HD TVs. They are merely comparing their product to competitions product performance.

I agree with Roberts comments about the impact of unfavourable lighting for flowers and the enhancements possible from good Bokeh. That said, the close proximity of the background to the flowerhead reduces the potential for good Bokeh even with a good lens. I'm not sure it would be any better. Post production Digital Bokeh can be quite good but the flat nature of this subject make it doubly difficult to get a better more realistic effect.

We've for some years made photo books of our various holidays. I suppose modern equivalents of the photoalbums of yesterday but without the photos dropping out and with an element of better design and layout. Without exception, the main photos are from our digital cameras. Photos from phones are used but are always supporting roles on the pages ie smaller. And that way they do work and contribute to the record of an occasion.

It's a fact that the smaller the sensor the more artefacts will play a part in lessening the quality.

A slight improvement in control of both flower and background focus.....but at least I've tucked the grass behind for you Robert. :thumbs:
