I'd dread that. I could make the exposure of my life and on a chunk of film the size of my fingernail And the lens may not be so great either.. Do I show it to anybody? What do I do with it other that wish I'd shot it with a real camera? Because with my luck if I stick it on the Lug Gallery or a Facebook gallery someone's going to order it. Someone's going to want to hang in a gallery with other photographs next to it and with my name underneath it. Or over their sofa. And I'm going to hope they want that print to be way small for a back room. Not sofa sized. Me I'd rather not shoot something at all then shoot it half assed. I'm not trying to make my life simple not carrying a camera with me. I don't need to always have my iPhone in my hand shining its light on my face as I hit keys with both thumbs with a blissful smile on my face. I like a full frame sensor camera in my hand with a real nice lens on it. I just took my 28 1.8 off which has been on all week and put a 60 Macro on. Both lenses are heavy as hell on the camera and not compact. One of them is a near legend. But the camera goes into the side bag I always carry with a book in it and my keys and other sundry items. Pills. Pens. A nice sized Moleskin booklet. They're all always with me wherever I go. I'd like a Leica Q. I have smaller side bags I take to the movies. I recall getting a cool panoramic with my iPhone once. I could do more of these the file size was bigger than what I usually get with my DSLR. I'd love to get into video and am thinking about getting one which fits in the palm of my hand.
