Which Is The Best Camera? Recently I purchased a new smart phone and have been impressed with its camera. At one point in time when Annie Leibovitch was asked which was the best camera to buy, she responded with – “the one you have with you!” Often there are photo ops, and the only camera I have is my phone camera. So, having one which takes better photos than my old one is a treat!  And, not only that, I can edit the photos with lightroom on the phone as well – big bonus!
