The later varies from almost free to US$1400 or so with very nice camera and lenses. You can get decent SLR's for a few hundred bucks and add a couple decent consumer lenses for that price that will outshine the best smartphone camera. Of course the best photos are taken with the camera that you have with you... |

True, but if you don't have that DSLR and its lens collection with you, no picture! With the purchase of a Google Pixel 3 (later: Pixel 5), I think the image quality has been adequate for almost all of my photography, and with the built-in image processing software the need for much post-processing is eliminated. If I want macro, I would use my Panasonic MFT with an Olympus macro lens, or for telephoto a Panasonic consumer 300mm lens (600 mm equivalent), or for general use a 14-140 mm (28-280) lens. Reduced size and weight are most welcome. But these days, for my purposes, the Pixel 3/5 images are more than good enough. So really, it depends what aspect of "quality" you mean. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

What would you call 'better' ? I guess you seldom get to go outside, let alone with the sun behind you. geoff |

Even the cheapest DSLR has a better sensor than the most expensive smartphone. but nowhere near as good of an isp or cpu. If we're talking about quality as per the subject, the sensor and quality of available lenses are the only relevant details. false. what matters is can it produce the results that the user wants. If it's about convenience, that depends on one's needs. I don't find bird photography very convenient with a smartphone but it certainly fits in my pocket and has other functions. do you carry your slr everywhere? the best camera is the one you have with you. |

What would you call 'better' ? pretty much anything. there is *no* issue whatsoever in using a smartphone in sunlight, especially with recent phones which have *very* bright displays, nor is there any difficulty in finding the shutter button, which is large and easy to find, but can also be triggered by the volume buttons or anywhere on the display if the user prefers, although the latter will preclude touch focus/exposure. there are cases that add a 'real shutter button' and a grip: http://snap6.bitplayinc.com/img/kickstarter/kickstarter-bg-01-video.jpg https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/00...uttercase1920- 1008_1296x.jpg and if that's not enough, there are also remote displays and remote shutter buttons. those with an apple watch can do either or both with just the watch, which also has a display that can be seen in bright sunlight. and it's not just phones. lcds on compact digicams and slrs have no issues in sunlight either (except maybe the cheap crap), and on some of them, the shutter button is not always obvious or not ergonomically placed. remote displays and shutter buttons are an option for many of those cameras. I guess you seldom get to go outside, let alone with the sun behind you. as usual, you would guess wrong, although this past year it was less than usual, for obvious reasons. |
