...but firefighting aircraft tend to be slower moving over the operational zone than in normal flight..

Unless of course, the drone hits a helicopter's blades which are moving quite fast in all circumstances: https://fstoppers.com/drone/nt...

The Color Run Sues College Photographer

and a first surface designed as much for scratch resistance as for optical quality, it's going to have big ugly lens flares if the light source isn't diffuse.

The IPhone 5 has the first ever camera with scratch resistant optics? I think not.

The only news here is that the big ugly lens flare also has some chromatic aberration.

It's not chromatic aberration. There are well over a dozen common types of aberrations in lens systems, this is not the chromatic one.

If you want to take good pictures, get a camera.

Or get an older IPhone: http://fstoppers.com/iphone

Back in the day, people submitted genuinely challenging questions to this forum. Today, we are bombarded with dull queries that are best answered by Let Me Google That For You or Consumer Reports. I think this is even worse than “How do I securely erase hard drives so that first world governments with infinite resources cannot recover my porn and warez collection?” for the umpteenth time in that little novel discussion will ensue. We are talking about consumer-grade hardware here, and entry level at that.

Seriously, Mister Novice Photographer: if you are just that, you go to your local future shop, find the cameras that look serious (usually having sexy black cases, featuring bigger lenses, and not made with plastic) and fall within your budget. Does the word Nikon or Cannon appear anywhere on the one you like? Great. Buy that one. Then go read books that feature terms like lighting, focus, exposure, and composition— because those are the concerns that result in truly good photographs .

Next on Ask Slashdot: which MacBook Air is right for me?

Yeah there is. The iPhones camera is actually pretty good if you can get the setting, and lighting setup right. You don't need fancy high end DSLR's or expensive $1000 glass. Case in point: http://fstoppers.com/iphone
