iphone 4 as trip camera

[Javier Boughton]

Hello everyone
I'm leaving this friday to WDW. Have my flip ready and thinking what camera to take. I have a kodak 1012z camera that is almost as big as a DSLR camera.


But I just got my wife an iphone 4. With its 5 megapixel camera, slim factor, 16 GB of space, it starting to look like it could replace my bigger camera

Has anyone done a WDW trip exclusively with an iphone 4 as the only camera?

Thanks

10 of us say don't take just the iPhone4, one person says you're fine, and that's it...

interesting...talking about being biased for the answer you wanted to hear... :shrug:

If those are the recommendations he's looking for.........

just makes me wonder why he bothered to ask in the first place...

im not gonna leave my camera at home im gonna take it. but take the fact that a semi-DSLr body does not fits in a pocket...the flip and iphone does.

ill see how the first day goes (we are leaving on friday for 12 days at orlando), if i dont like the results ill bring the camera..

I spent the last week of august in wdw....we took down the following gear:

2 iPhone 4's
Digital SLR camera
Flip
Cannon powershot

While a few of the days my wife elected to carry and use the big SLR....we predominantly used our iPhones for 95% of our imagry.

The flip stayed in the room, since it's video camera is no better than the iphone's. The powershot also stayed in the room, since the iPhone's camera is nearly as good.

During previous trips, I used to walk WDW around looking like batman....with a 3-4 different pieces of electronics hanging from my belt. Seriously.... I had my old blackberry storm ( which had an awful camera), my powershot, the flip, etc

This past trip, it was a dream.... Just the iPhone 4. That's it! It took video that was just as good as the flip's and I didn't miss the powershot at all.

And I have an entire album of pictures and video to prove it.

Save yourself the trouble, weight and risk of bringing down all that gear...

The iPhone 4 is all you need

did you had any issues with battery? how many photos a day did you took?

do you have them posted somewhere?

the pics from http://www.wdwmagic.com/Other/iPhon...Disney-World---photo-and-HD-video-samples.htm even though they are scaled down look great

Pictures do drain the battery pretty easily. I took a charger and a battery backup with me to the parks and was able to make it through the day with the combination. This is the battery backup I used:
