Why You Still Need A Pocket Camera

The SMARTPHONE - be it an iPhone, Android or otherwise - has replaced a variety of personal items and stand-alone gadgets.  Planners, note pads, maps, alarm clocks and most particularly - your affordable pocket point & shoot digital camera.

The picture quality of smartphones now rivals those of dedicated point & shoots and sharing them has never been easier and quicker.  Such things cannot be done with your point & shoot.  But hold on. That being said, however, there are still some very good reasons to have pocket point & shoot.

Rogue Honeycomb Grid

When you have outgrown shoot thru umbrellas, it can't be bad to move and experiment with other modifiers such as grids and snoots.  I've had the rectangular Honl made grids before but I did not grew fond of using them.  They stayed in my bag though, not because I like using them but simply for the purpose of "just-in-case".  My main issue with it is its difficulty to be attached securely and accurately to any of my flashes. And the beam it throws is not as circular as I want them to be.  Anyway I have the Rogue Grid now and I just love it.
