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

[Kathi]

I just back from a vacation so I haven't been following this whole 
thread exactly so sorry if this is a repeat. I used my iPhone 4s for 
pictures on this vacation and the quality of the pics I took is really, 
really great. Especially if you have the HDR mode on. The problem I had 
is that if it was bright (which it almost always was) I couldn't 
actually see what I was taking a picture of on the screen. So best I 
could I would line up my camera to what I thought was the frame I 
wanted, take the picture and then go to a shady spot and check on the 
screen to see if I had what I wanted. The other negative was that it 
sucked up the battery in a major way. The quality of the pics is awesome 
though.
That's my 2 cents!

I was inspired by Ryan Jordan's article on the Sony NEX-7, http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/sony_nex-7_review?m=00640paYdYC4lASrBBJKACOi84A , but quickly realized that he NEX-7 wouldn't be available on time for my PCT hike. The  Fujifilm X-Pro 1 was, and turned out to be more attractive than the NEX-7. I don't think many people would want to take the X-Pro 1 on a PCT thru-hike, but to me, the image quality is worth the weight and the cost. I'll still take the iPhone of course.
