[pct-l] Is the iPhone 4S the only camera you need?

[Ryan Christensen]

I have a iPhone 4s and I have come to the conclusion that when you balance weight to the convenience and quality of the image AND video (1080P) that the iPhone takes--- I will rely on my iPhone 4s for recording my PCT hikes. The images and video it takes are truly fantastic. In 1996 and 2006 I brought along a full SLR camera for taking pictures along the PCT. The camera weighed over 5 lbs. Even with that past dedication to photography on the PCT, I would still only take my iPhone now.

Tim, the 4S takes 8 megapixel shots while the 4 did 5 megapixels.  Here's a
link that tells of other differences.
