Apple Steps Up


 I know this may be premature, but the iPhone 14 has made major improvements in panorama photography. I have been using the ‘pano’ feature—the only phone that has it—for years. But, the older phone cameras were not good and the pano had no features. Now, the iPhone 14 has an unbelievable 49MP camera and the pano feature allows zooming. I know this sounds trivial, but the lack of zooming was a showstopper. Anyway, a few weeks ago I took the pano shown just to check it out. My judgment is based upon printing it 60” long. It looked great! My future travel plans do not include taking along my Sony A-7. That’s sad, but technology evolves. I started with a Hasselblad until SLRs caught up, in my view. Now, maybe I will leave that behind, too. Only time will tell.
