I used to do high end photography with my 6x6 cm Hasselblad film cameras, and then later with my Nikon DSLRs (Nikon D1x, D100, D2x). Spent literally tens and tens of thousands on camera gear and studio lighting plus accessories galore for over 25 years. I've since sold 90 percent of my gear, but still have a few items left in case I need to use them for photoshoots for past clients. Nowadays I mostly just pull out my Samsung Note 2 phone for doing quick shots. I also have a Samsung video/still camera similar to a GoPro camera for doing high-def videos that I can upload to YouTube right away. As much as I like my Note 2 for doing decent quality photography, I'm pretty sure I'd be laughed out of my socks if I showed up to a paid photoshoot gig with only a smartphone! :-X What's even more laughable is seeing tourists taking pictures holding up a 10" iPad tablet! That too is starting to get more common. When doing photoshoots, nothing beats a fast f2.8 zoom lens (or an even faster prime lens) for both image quality and low-light speed. I wish I could just slap on my Nikon Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8 zoom lens to my Samsung Note 2. That would be fantastic!
