When I first got my DSLR, I had a lot of decisions and a lot of steps, but
I made those decisions once and set up the infrastructure to implement
those decisions, and I also scripted the steps to the point where the
process is simple and easy and does exactly what I want.

It's actually more cumbersome and labor-intensive for me to get photos from
an iOS device into my system than it is to pull them off my DSLR. It would
be dead simple if I could access the iOS device as a file system and just
copy the photo files like I do with the DSLR.

Also, the difference in quality is not something I can just dismiss. The
photos from every iOS device and every smartphone camera that I've ever
seen have been total crap in comparison to what the DSLR provides.
