Everywhere I look around me, I see people with big SLR cameras endlessly taking photos and petting themselves on the back for taking great pictures. Well Apple wanted to show people that you don't need a big camera to take beautiful photos, you just need a good eye, good timing and an ability to see the beautiful world around you.
