Much as it pains me to say so, you have to admit that if you are only
viewing on a good PC monitor or ordinary HD TV, phone sensors and
processors do a pretty good job these days.

Back to the classic Bert Hardy "Box Brownie" demonstration, it is the
photographer who takes the picture, not the camera!

Youp! If your Pocket Instamatic kept you happy then your iPhone or
Xperia will too. Me mom was very proud of the Agfa Optima 5000 that
gifted her!

Ah yes, quantity vs quality. Been seeing a lot of that in the
music industry for some time now. Hmm, also seen with TV
along the lines of 500 channels and nothing worth watching.

[YMMV]


Davoud:
Being a bit snooty, aren't we? My mileage has varied a great deal. It's
not quantity vs quality; for hundreds of millions of people it's camera
vs no camera. And an awful lot of those people are taking great
pictures. These, e.g.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...one-photos-of-
2017_us_5953d2aee4b05c37bb7b3e8f.

And in video, the Oscar-winning movie shot in part on an iPhone
https://nofilmschool.com/2013/03/oscar-searching-sugar-man-shot-iphone.

So stow the smugness. It's still the photographer, not the camera.


Ron C:
I was thinking more of the psycho-social impact where the experience
is being supplanted by the need to document. I have no problem with
great, or even spectacular photos are frequently captured on a phone.
I do worry a bit about the seeming obsession to document life rather
than live it in real time.


The world is full of genuinely poor people who can never aspire to
owning a smart phone.

Do you really think that's an issue with the hundreds of millions of
people around the world--especially the poor--whose lives have been
enriched by smartphones and their cameras? I don't see it. I just see
people living their lives pretty much as always.

Having lived in S.E. Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa from 1966
to 1993, I have some small degree of awareness of poverty and
deprivation around the world. Nonetheless, among all but the very
poorest of the poor, by which I mean persons like those that Nachtwey
photographed in The Sudan, smartphones are quite common, even where
individuals can't afford them but groups of people or whole villages
can afford to share one.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that

And I was responding to "the stupidity" (although I wouldn't call it
that) of the comment in the snipped paragraph. There are many parts of
the world where the people are so poor that a person who can afford a
smartphone or camera is regarded as wealthy.

I would regard a community which had to pool their funds to buy a
smartphone as poor. In such a community there is no hope for an
individual who wants to buy a smartphone or camera.

Somehow this has twisted from my "1st world" problem/irritation
to one of "3rd world" enrichment.
I find it hard to imagine that any of these ultra-poor folks are likely
to have any "Canon Glass" to use on their smartphones.

To my point maybe check out Savageduck's comment in the
" Which would more likely drive someone to a phone camera?"
thread.
