The release of the iPhone 5 has the tech world in a tizzy and iPhoneography enthusiasts lining up to get their paws on the latest Apple device.

@Glen–No real photographers own iPhones? Somehow I think your photography snob indignation has gotten in the way of your sense.
Well, in future dslr and phone will be built into eye glasses,, …. ;D
The iPhone like every other phone with a camera is a phone with a toy but it is still primarily a phone. Owned by 99% happy snappers not real photographers.
Yes our world consists of high tech instant news which is not photography its a capture of the moment edited by a device and flashed around the world.
My opinion of photography is about passion, forethought, planning, creativity and editing to create your master piece. So a DSLR or old SLR is the masters tool to creating each master piece. This also is achieved in RAW its your film to develop not some device throwing out half developed jpeg information snapshots.
