I used my SL the whole time I was in Charleston - only took 4 B&W with the MM. I did take a few iPhone photos but those are usually to send to parents to show that we are taking great care of the grandkids! I'm sending iPhone photos to China this week while we are keeping Sadie, but I'm also taking lots of photos with the SL which will eventually be downloaded and shared but it's not as immediate.
