Exciting new features for everyday IPhone photographers

  • One of the most exciting rumors has finally been unveiled. Raw photos on the Iphone 7.  This major upgrade will allow users to tweak and refine style at a near professional level. 
  • Another exciting feature is the addition of two optical lenses. This will allow users a much crisper and less pixelated image normally seen due to the negative effects of digital zooms.  The 12mp sensor is equipped with a 2x optical zoom. 10x digital zoom (photo) 6x digital (video) iPhone 7 Plus specs. 
  • This newly designed optical system will for the first time allow depth of field in your pocket. meaning you can blur out backgrounds without  having to apply a weak looking Instagram filter
  • Next up is the exciting addition of a 7mp forward facing camera. Now selfies will clearer than ever. 
  • To top it all off this device is WATERPROOF! now you can capture those once sketchy pool side selfies effortlessly. 
  • More storage! the Iphone 7 will store your raw pictures effortlessly with capacities of 32GB, 128GB, 256GB capacities
  • All in all I would not ditch your dslr quite yet. Yes the Iphone 7 shoots raw but low light performance will likely be weak considering the sensor the size of a pin head.
