People swearing they can “always” tell the difference between a phone pic and a “pro camera” image amuse me. I remember when light beer first became popular - and dedicated beer snobs swore they could always tell the difference. I had my roommate do a blind taste test. He utterly failed.
Jerred your spot on with your analysis. For me the iPhone was a gateway back into photography. After nearly three decades of rarely making photos, I’m back at it. I’ll use my iPhone for convenience and then turn to my Fujifilm XT5 for day long photo excursions. The jpeg film recipes straight out of camera are perfect for me. I’m not that interested in sitting in front of a computer screen tweaking images.
Absolutely Shawn! It’s a lot of fun to let some in-camera magic happen. Fuji is great at that… and so is the Mood app!!! (I do miss the X-T5 and 33mm 1.4 combo. Wow. If I ever got another Fuji, it would be the 33 and x-E5!)
These are really great! I especially love the concert photos. Hard to believe they were shot with an iPhone. - I love the Mood app. I discovered it a few years ago and love using it. These days I leave it set on a customized Noir sim. - I need to experiment with long exposures.

Love it! I am going to use that analogy!!

Thanks, Alicia - lots of fun, right? I need to do more with the Mood app - it’s just the start for me!
