If you want high-quality photos, a responsive and full-featured DSLR is the only way to go. But sometimes you don’t want to carry that bulky box around with you. With a couple of accessories, and a few megabytes of applications, you can turn the iPhone in your pocket into a rather capable replacement.

 

Interchangeable lenses

Photographers have a mantra: “It’s all about the glass.” It doesn’t matter how good the camera is if you mount a junky lens on the front. The iPhone 3GS has added a much better autofocus lens to the mix (you didn’t think that one extra lousy megapixel made all that difference, did you?) but it’s still limited in range.

Enter the Factron Quattro (above), an iPhone case that lets you swap lenses onto your iPhone. It also looks gorgeous, like a 1980s Halina 110 camera. The $200 duraliminum case will fit the 3G and 3GS and you have to buy the lenses too, which run from $18 for a 40mm close-up to $56 for the 185º fisheye.
