Another note: Be sure to compare cameras on the different smart phones, and read reviews of them.
Again, as admitted in my last post, I have no experience beyond the Iphone, so I can't compare them, but
the Iphone has a decent camera and the new one is better. Now, I am sure many reading this cringe at the
thought of actually using a phone as a camera, as did I, but I predict you will, and sooner rather than later.
Especially for checking bird I.D., they are quick and you will actually have them handy. With practice you
can digiscope with an Iphone, and Shep Torp and I have both used the photos for ebird verification
purposes.
