You can adjust the cellsize depending on object you want to have inside the cell.

Answer 2

Another option might be to break your list items into multiple (fixed height) reusable rows.

eg:

#text post:
-Title row
-Text row
-Footer row

#image post:
-Title row
-Photo row
-Footer row

While your table source & delegate may become a bit more complex, this pattern has been proven to scale.
