There was a time I wouldn’t dream of leaving for a trip without my big, bulky DSLR bag. It even had a rain cover, which I needed more than once to rescue my multiple lenses, filters, spare batteries. It was a traveling circus all on its own. These days, that bag rarely leaves my closet. I still own a mirrorless camera, and I’ll use it for some fine art photography projects, but the truth is: I don’t always carry it when I travel anymore.

Photography hasn’t really hasn’t seen any true innovation since film was traded in for digital sensors. Sure, we’ve added more megapixels, more memory, but the technology itself stayed pretty much stagnant since the shift the digital. Camera companies made incremental improvements, but nothing revolutionary. Meanwhile, Apple has steadily been chipping away at the gap between “real” cameras and the little device in your pocket. Their newest lineup pushes that even further.
