It has a liner in it that can be removed if you don't want to bring your camera one day, but I just always keep it in. And yes, you could put the liner in another bag if you want a different look or more space! autumnlove on "Do you rely on your camera phone too much?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rely-on-your-camera-phone-too-much#post-1094656 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:09:38 +0000 autumnlove 1094656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Taco: I just received some pics from Shutterfly and the difference is so obvious!

Not putting it into another bag? The liner part removes so tou could put it into a bigger bag if you needed more roo ? I think I see my Christmas request!

I just printed out a bunch of pictures (both from my phone and camera) and the quality difference is clear. I really need to take out my regular camera more often!!!! mrs. wagon on "Do you rely on your camera phone too much?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rely-on-your-camera-phone-too-much#post-1094604 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:43:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 1094604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wagon Sr. is always toting his DSLR. It's one of the reasons we got the camera we did-- it's very small and light for a DSLR. He got a small crumpler bag for it but he usually just slings it around his body messenger-style. But I just use my phone camera. The picture quality is awesome, especially in natural light!

I take almost all my photos of LO with that. The quality is nicer than when I forget to take it and need to use my phone camera.

I do mainly use my iphone (a 4, so not the greatest) but the way I see it, I care the most about the memories of what she looks like right this very moment. I do want really nice photos, of course, but my main goal is to remember her right now and share with family who live far away, not have the best nicest photos every single day. I mean, talk to me in a year and I may have a different story, but right now I'm grateful for the quality my phone takes now. I do want to leave my DSLR out more often, though, so encourage better pictures when I can. pui on "Do you rely on your camera phone too much?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rely-on-your-camera-phone-too-much#post-1094406 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:29:37 +0000 pui 1094406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @autumnlove: I have a purse I bought from Etsy that has a camera protection liner in it! The purse is getting a little ratty now, but I could totally put the lining in to another purse (it's removable). I usually don't carry a second lens and just put my wallet and other little things in the second slot. There are also plenty of pockets and sleeves for my tablet and other things. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/115681937/c101-tan-canvas-camera-bag-w-shoulder?ref=shop_home_active" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/115681937/c101-tan-canvas-camera-bag-w-shoulder?ref=shop_home_active</a> MapleMoose on "Do you rely on your camera phone too much?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rely-on-your-camera-phone-too-much#post-1094403 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:29:00 +0000 MapleMoose 1094403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do the weekly bump pictures with a regular camera. But we've been relying more on our camera phones for other pictures because it's more convenient.

Since getting the iPhone 5 last year I mainly take pictures and videos on my phone. DH always has a camera strapped on his body so I don't feel so bad. autumnlove on "Do you rely on your camera phone too much?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rely-on-your-camera-phone-too-much#post-1094368 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:22:37 +0000 autumnlove 1094368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: I need to upgrade!

If you have a nicely lit room in your home, you can buy some wood vinyl flooring from Lowes and take photo on it that look very studio-like :) I also use a fluffy $20 rug to nicen the photos up Bookish on "Do you rely on your camera phone too much?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rely-on-your-camera-phone-too-much#post-1094301 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:02:39 +0000 Bookish 1094301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep :( I really need to start keeping my camera charged and in my purse! I know it's less convenient but the pic quality is soo much better!

I'll also put it in my diaper bag!

How often do you use a regular camera? I only use it 1-2 times a month.
