Feb 3, 2015 2:11 PM in response to Old Toadby WBJohnston,It's true that a person cannot go directly from an old iPhone into the ios8 photo stream. I have found that I can, however, e-mail pictures to myself and save them to my ios8 device from where I can save them into the ios8 photo stream. It's worth doing with those pictures that you really want to make a part of your total library, but would obviously be tedious for a great many pics.

Feb 3, 2015 2:20 PM in response to WBJohnstonby léonie,If you look at the link that Old Toad posted and scroll down to the section "Minimum system requirements by feature", you'll see, that you can use iCloud to transfer your photos from iOS 7 devices:
To use iCloud, you need at least iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPad, or iPad mini; or at least OS X Lion v10.7.5 on a Mac.
iCloud Photo Sharing works with iOS7, see: iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

To shared albums you add the photos manually.
