do you know any pro photographer that works out of an iphone? come on. apple may hire some people for teh commercials but i don't know anyone who makes it the centerpiece of their professional workflow.

it's a nice consumer device but no more. it can do the occasional great trick sure. you can shoot a whole movie on it as a gimmick. but why?

spending a grand or two on it is nice if you can do it, but nobody that i know producing media "has to" have an iphone x to shoot stills/video

people have been getting around the dslr issue with mirrorless cameras for a while now. aps-C or mft are doing great. they've small and lightweight and can scale to nice rigs. a real lens still makes a big difference. shooting raw as well. the iphone x can't replace a nice macro or a 600mm tele or a fish eye etc etc not today satan. and sensor size is still sensor size.

so, if you *just* need the simplicity of ios (i do, i do miss it tons) the SE is both necessary and sufficient. it's the essential thing. the rest is just gloss and doesn't fit right in the pocket and why pay more for gloss. im not a glossy sort of person. im looking at it from a technical perspective and i'm thinking "nice glossy feature but irrelevant for me." 3d emojis lol. i'd pay $10 for them-- not $1200

eta: the 7plus already has the separate zoom lens. nice and all, but i sure dont *need* one.

last, if i need a big screen, i just jack it to the tv

SE or nothing for me

i'd rather spend the extra $600 in a couple of fun m43 lenses

no, this one: https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2417332,00.asp

with change to spare
