Re: Recovering deleted photos

Nothing to stop you taking a small compact camera in your pocket.
Personally I think phone cameras are cr*p, you can't beat a proper camera. Would not touch one with a barge pole. Try adjusting for example dof on a phone camera? you can't.That is just one of the things they can.t do. Try adding a different lens? you can 't.
save pictures on an extrnl had drive is the only way to go

You can't tell me that this is less convenient and it takes good videos as well

I use it for checking out roof gutters







Try that with a camera phone

Re: Recovering deleted photos

I've never had to do that on my iMac as it's backed up with Time Machine so everything is backed up using that to an external drive. I was hoping to do the same with the MacBook Pro but it's not easy to disable Time Machine when not required, as a laptop that would be rather often, so I changed my mind about that.

Procedure for recovering deleted photos is similar to that for an iPad or iPhone though, the link below gives ways of recovering photos depending on how long deleted and where from:

Re: Recovering deleted photos

I still have my Finepix that I used to carry with me. But I realised that my iPhone 6s was more convenient. I agree that the quality might not be as good as a SLR, but for the pictures that I take now, the iPhone does the job.
Using the phone to look at gutters? A selfie stick could do the job. Or better still a ladder.
