He lost credibilty for me when he said -
"Wouldn’t it be great if your camera downloaded the local weather and automatically configured your camera settings? Yes, most modern cameras try to guess what the white balance should be, but why guess? Just check if it’s cloudy."
- anyone who relies on weather forecasts to predict local weather is loony and suggesting that clouds are the only factor in changing white balance suggests he has no idea what he is talking about.
Phone software is optimised for phones - just because the phone with its software is "better"? at getting the white balance automatically doesn't mean that the camera software is inferior. Cameras take more user involvement to attain the same or better wb. You can also bracket wb and select the most pleasing / accurate.
The point I was making is that the camera and its software gives me greater creative control whereas the phone and its software is better for "instant" snaps where I have no time to set up. Having better "auto" software in the camera is irrelevant for me as I don't use auto mode.
