Here is a really good article by a photo journalist on why he covered
a story for the NYTimes with his iPhone as a camera.

==== excerpt====
Does it really matter what camera Damon Winter used to make these
beautifully composed images? I don’t think so. It’s the images that
are important.

Whenever possible, I avoid writing about camera gear. The photographer
takes the picture, not the equipment. Few people care what kind of
typewriter Hemingway used.

But it happens that Mr. Winter quickly realized — after trying a few
shots — that his iPhone would be an effective way to capture the
day-to-day trials of the First Battalion, 87th Infantry of the 10th
Mountain Division in northern Afghanistan.
