Anyone thinkin about getting the iPhone 6 ????

Who said that it was?

it holds its own, for everyday use with no tweaking, against just about any camera out there right now.

That is what you said and it seems that you hold it in the highest regard.

And all of you that like apple for the camera? Just get a real camera! Canon or Nikon! Apple devices have good cameras but they are not a reason to buy a PHONE. A phone is a phone and a camera is a camera.

Apple products aren't a waste of money, even if you buy them and don't like them, you can sell them for a premium price. Most Android devices can't hold that kind of resale value.

I'm assuming that you don't have a smartphone. If you did, you would know that the #1 use of a smartphone is the camera. People don't want to drag around a camera.

Amen! Hence the name SMARTphone.

On the rare occasion that I actually need to take a picture with an actual camera, I have a Canon Powershot 16 megapixel camera I got at Costco for only $139.00.

The best camera is the camera that you have with you all the time and is easy to use in auto mod. No fiddling, just point and shoot. That describes the IPhone camera pretty nicely.

Besides that phones are no longer phones, they are multitasking devices. Little computers to be exact. I have noticed from reviews that the reviewer does not even test call quality.

More megapixels is never a bad thing or else we would still have the 5 megapixel iPhone 4 camera.

More pixels is a diminishing return on a phone camera that has a small sensor.

To fit more pixels on a small sensor you will have to make smaller sized pixels. When you do that, you undermine the performance of the camera in low light situations.

What Apple did is stick with 8 pixels but slightly keep enlarging the pixel size w/o fattening the phone like Nokia did. HTC went with huge pixels but limited their number to 4. It made the phone great in low light situations but reduced range in bright light situations.

Apple's approach is a compromise between what HTC did and what the S5 did. Apple might increase the number of pixels slightly to 10-11, but I would rather they stick with 8 and increase the pixel size a bit more. That seems to be their approach.

I won't be getting the iPhone 6, but not because I don't want it. I will be sticking with my 5S for now. I do like that they are making the screen larger. I think that the phablet is going to be sexy. I just have to get out of the habit of buying new phones every time I see one I like. It has become a real mess with me and I have spent way too much money. I have decided to stick with the iOS ecosystem with my iPhone and iPad and I'm not leaving. Not going to upgrade until I absolutely have to. And that won't be for a while.

Understand the feeling. I've become a running gag for my wife and friends, had so many phones in the last 3-4 years... Palm Treo, 3GS, then 4S, then Nexus 4, then IPhone 5, then back to Nexus 4, and now LG G2. About 2 months ago I told my wife "Wow, I think I actually like this phone so much I won't change it until my contract runs up" (Nov. '15).

Using Paranoid Android (Stock LG UI is disgusting, though better than TouchWiz) the phone still runs like new, camera is great, battery life is lovely... But still I'm considering buying the iPhone 6 (5.5 inches probably) because I miss integration with my wife friends and family. iMessage is leagues above Hangouts (which barely anyone I know uses unless I forced it on them), Facetime is a great option for wifi calls while traveling, the new photos app and photo streams are a great integrated solution, plus 3rd party keyboards and extensions in iOS8 solve my biggest complains about the platform.

I love the G2's hardware (use a case so don't care about the plastic), but I shouldn't have to root and flash ROMs to get a decent software experience... that's what I hate about android. Only nice options are Nexus 5 or MotoX, but they have disappointing hardware (camera, battery life). I just can't see a real good complete package. OnePlus One would be it if I had any confidence in CyanogenMod, but my experience with them has been all bugs and incompatibility with things like the Square Card reader I need for my business.

The Galaxy 5S pretty much won me over to Android although I still like iPhone (and iOS in General) but 2 things must come, 1st I want to see the 5.5 inch screen version, my eyes could no longer handle the 4 inch screen (thus why I switched over to the S5) and 2nd, the camera needs to be more than 8MP, either a 13 or 16 MP will do.

Be careful what you wish for. More megapixels means smaller pixels, thus less light per pixel and worse pictures in a dark environment. 13mp might be fine, but I'd be careful going above that with such smaller sensors - unless they make significantly bigger sensors with OIS. The 8mp camera in the 5S is a great portable camera, probably better than the one I love in my G2, and my G2 has OIS because 13mp.

EDIT nj1266 beat me to it, should have read that page first.

Either way, it can be improved, regardless of personal thoughts.

So, in your opinion the iPhone 5S camera can not be improved?

Anything can be improved, but it is already better than most.

That's good, but any improvements that can be made should be made. A change in megapixel size or focal lens is just the tip of the ice berg, they can make the camera faster or anything. There is a lot that can be done and knowing Apple they will improve it somehow.

I really don't believe they need to increase the number of pixels. IMO, 8 pixels is plenty for a phone camera. If they will just work on the size of the sensor I think everything will be great.

I think they will increase the pixels, that is the same resolution camera since the 4S. They might want to bump it up, we have only a month or so until we see it.

There is no advantage to bumping the pixels. Users of camera phones are not printing billboards, they are mostly posting on facebook and instagram. Even printing your pictures on standard picture paper can be done with 8 megapixels.

As was mentioned I would rather have a larger sensor with larger pixels rather than more pixels. That will help in low light situations.

Apple is not a spec company. They only do what is necessary to improve function. Apple still uses a dual core CPU, one gig of ram and an 8 megapixles camera. if past practice is an indication, then Apple will stick with 8 pixels. IF Apple does it, it will be for marketing reasons.

Apple is doing a spec bump this year as well, will that just be for marketing? We can go back and forth all day, but we all know Apple is increasing specs, and more than likely the camera will be improved somehow.
