Taking photos has never been easier. As far back as the 1820’s, man has had to resort to ancient daguerreotypes that, although aesthetically pleasing, took a lengthy amount of time to catalog the interesting pose to small plates.

Although the resolution is largely uncompromised on both models, the thinner screen should be for the more experienced of photographers.
