Its 5°c, raining on and off, windy as hell and frankly just a little bit horrible but the dog needed a walk and I needed to take the new phone out for a test...

He really is just a scruffy mutt - but yes - he is good in front of a camera.

Lovely dog - bags of character caught in the photo. And doesn't care what the weather chucks at him!

Wow! No I didn't know. Thanks to everyone that voted for me. Am I allowed to enter when I set the theme?

[KateW]

Lovely dog, and a lovely photo of him. He looks as if he's wishing you'd put that camera away and start playing with him!

Picking the theme does not preclude one from entering the weekly competition David..  You've gotten off to a great start here on TIPF

Scruffy dogs rule nothing like a loyal dog! Nice BP the 7 seems to have better DoF control than pervious models or I might have not been paying attention to the previous models.

It needs the two cameras on a the 7 Plus to mimic the narrow depth of filed you get with a large aperture lens on a big sensor so previous models and even the standard 7 can't do it.

It's not perfect, but a very good effort, still some way to go with software before we can ditch the proper camera.

Lovely dog and super picture.  I'm impressed that it was taken with a phone, especially given the shallow DoF.  Which phone?

It's nearly always had two cameras! But the latest iPhone has a camera with two lenses - 28mm and (I think) 56mm for tele options.

Well that's what I meant  Mr Lumix... Of course I stand corrected ....

If we're being pedantic the iPhone 7 Plus has three cameras. 

There is the usual front facing FaceTime HD Camera which in this case has a 7MP 1080p sensor and a f2.2 lens.
Where the 7 Plus differs from other iPhones and most phones in general is that it has two (completely separate) rear facing cameras. Both have 12mp 4k sensors with one camera sporting a 28mm (equivalent) f1.8 optical image stabilised lens while the other camera has a 56mm f2.8 lens.

Nothing quite like being pedantic ... Thanks Beepy .... so  there are three cameras ....  yer  stopped me looking like a complete eejit at least seeing as neither of us got it really  right ...

Ah - so when the phone is deciding whether to digitally zoom the 28mm or use 56mm, it's actually deciding between two CAMERAS rather than two LENSES? Interesting...

[Black Pearl]

It is changing between two entire camera each with its own lens. There is a (virtual) switch in the camera app that lets you flip between the two so you can shoot with either the more typical wide one which has the brighter aperture or the longer one. Both cameras have a 12mp/4k sensor, each running independent of the other hence the ability of the software to run both of them at the same time when you switch to Portrait Mode and fake a narrow depth of field.

You can see here the difference between the iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus:
