Thanks for taking the time to do that. I really like the camera. Sometimes I like to take pictures of the outside of a building (and the area around it) when the building doesn't allow picture taking inside (some museums have this policy). Cell phones aren't usually prohibited, so I just take the ZTE Flash rather than having to make another trip back to my car...which might not be convenient. Also, sometimes you don't want to be 'that person with the camera around your neck'....sometimes doesn't lend itself to the place or event. When I got the ZTE I thought it was a cheap way to get 95% of the ability of the camera on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. At the time, I was aware of the 41MP Camera on some of the Nokia phones. I thought it must be a gimmick...that the pictures couldn't be very good. A few months later I noticed the manager of my local Panera Bread had a Galaxy Note 3 and asked him how he liked the camera. We started talking about cell phone cameras. He likes his Note 3, but he started telling me about his friend's camera. His friend is a professional photographer in Florida. He has a $4,000 DSLR and happens to do a lot of shoots near or on water. Occasionally he feels that a situation is too likely to expose his $4k DSLR to damage, so he sought out an alternative. He bought one of the 41MP Nokias and was utterly amazed at how close it comes in quality (only uses it in those applications) to his $4k DSLR. If I find the right deal, I might get one of those and give the ZTE Flash to a relative.
