As a professional videographer, hauling around the typical heavy camera and gear, I find this article particularly interesting. While the smartphone camera's can't compete with professional quality settings and capabilities, they are fun and easy to use for social media sites. ~~Linda

With more than 365 million Apple mobile devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) and 350 million Android devices in consumers' hands, it's easy to say that more folks have access to a video camera than ever before.

But how to take advantage of the surprisingly robust video features offered by the mobile devices? It's a question many are grappling with, as they produce shaky videos with poor sound that don't look as polished as some of the best work on YouTube and Facebook.
There are easy solutions.

In a nutshell, steady the image and improve the sound, and you're halfway home. The good news: You don't need a big video camera anymore to get great videos.
The cameras in smartphones have so improved that with a little thought and some tools, you can make great-looking work.
