Unless you want to spend a lot of money about the only new compact cameras on sale now are the Canon Elph/Ixus 180 (good for taking photos of landscapes, statues, and sleeping dogs!), or quite a lot more for a ‘tough’ camera. After that the choices get really expensive. For example the Ricoh GR III with its fixed 28 mm lens is not even weather proofed and about double the price of a new iPhone SE!
*Optical Zoom.*
Canon and other brands: we made big sensors and have stabilization and everything.
Huawei: hold my p40 pro plus.
Samsung: let me take out ny s20 ultra
Xiaomi: kids plz ive made mi 10 ultra (cheaper and better)
Cool keep it up
So many videos on the internet compare phones and cameras. What about camcorders or handycams?
My Canon Will spank your phone
Summary:
1. Are you a normie? Buy phone.
2. Are you proffessional or an enthusiast? Buy DSLR.
how about go pro, is go pro considered digital cameras too?
dslr is better than smartphone but is smartphone better than a compact/point and shoot camera ?
they would be if the prices were reduced. Surprisingly the prices for new models are not dropping at all.
Still true in 2020?
Jesus loves anyone reading this. You are wonderfully made. God bless
When the time come, that you see a professional photographer taking shots with a smartpone instead of a DSLR camera, then yes they don’t worth buying…but untill then….YES THEY DO !! Even the cheapest DSLR cameras are better from a smartphone in many crucial aspects of photography
Me no professional iphone very easy HeHeHe!
This vid should be updated, while DSLR cameras are still better, phone’s such as the Huawei p40 pro are so close to the flexibility of DLSR cameras, so I say Phone’s are much more practical in 2020
i definitely prefer using my dslr for photography
2020:
Samsung S20 Ultra: I am gonna end this camera’s career
What was that game??
Of course
I DO YOU ONE BETTER:
IS IPHONE STILL WORTH BUYING?
I think what a lot of people often forget when they compare DSLRs and current phone camera is that non optimal and low light conditions exist. And this is where you will see a huge difference between a phone camera and a DSLR
The camera on my note 8 sucks worse than a cheap digital camera
The logic is both products are from the same era. If the phone camera technology is so good that it matches a DSLR then the same technology can be used in a DSLR too. Hence DSLR’s would ALWAYS be better.
Lumia 1020 had a mechanical shutter.
Pureview 808 had an active nd filter
Make this video again for now days camera how mobile cameras achieve
Yes. Of course.
Smartphone companies try to convince people that the only important aspect for a good photograph is the number of pixels…As an amateur photographer (trying to be lol) I felt in that trap…but there are much more that smartphone companies will never tell you about…If you read the link below you will understand that it is IMPOSSIBLE for any smartphone to compare with even the cheapest DSLR (if you know what you are doing with whatever you holding)….There are good DSLR like for examble Nikon D3500, which can be found with 300-400 euros….Invest your money there, study about digital photography and photoshoot and practice with it…..You will never regret the money and time you spend !!! https://thesmartphonephotographer.com/phone-camera-and-dslr-differences/
With the iPhone 11 pro around and soon to be iPhone 12/pro max. cameras are about to be history there will be no need for them at this point lol
IPhone 12 anyone
No mention of Nokia purview grrrr… Biggest camera sensor of its time with xenon flash
Phones cameras are good when plenty of light is available but not good at lowlight when ISO noise is a problem. Phones are also good for macro
For lowlight always use a APS-C or full frame with a small lens
My dad bought a camera 5 years ago ($1000 back then) and even when I take photos with the newest phones and with the highest quality, there is still a huge difference between the camera and the phone
Digital cameras are far different and always better than smartphones camera
What’s the worst digital camera that is better than the best mobile phone camera? I’m really on a tight budget and need to start making more income to be independent
This the question I had
Some people just can’t use any smartphone for decent photography, they need something substantial in their hands, eye to a nice bright viewfinder. To me using a smartphone for photography is like playing chess on a computer. I can be done, and it’s easy, but nothing beats a real chessboard with real, carved pieces for the deliberate, tactile, more natural experience.
Phones are for conveniency. Cameras are for quality.
I use the Fz-300 from Panasonic love it
This video needs an update.
Yes, it is still worth getting a DSLR or even a mirrorless compact camera if you wanna get serious about photography. But if you’re a casual like me, the iPhone camera more than suffices.
Ofcourse Cameras are always better, Unless they’re extremely old. My 2009 camera just doesn’t live up to what my current phone camera can do.
It really depends on what you want. When it comes to my old camera, It only works best in the perfect conditions, But my phone can adjust to all situations, And record much higher quality video (not 240p or 360p).. So I’d say, Old cameras are much worse than modern phone cameras, But modern cameras will always beat phone ones (afterall, that’s all the camera is designed to do, Just be a camera, not to make calls and play games and so on).
$800 Dedicated digital camera: I can take way better pictures than you hands down!
$800 Phone: That’s cool but can you make calls, play games, play music, access the internet, watch internet videos, text people, be a calculator, and so much more all while still being able to take decent enough pictures?
If you’re into photography, then sure, a dedicated digital camera is probably a good investment. If taking pictures isn’t your thing, and you just want to casually take a few pics here or there, then the convenience of being able to do so with a device you were already gonna always have on you anyway is just a lot more important than the picture quality.
Is this a question?
In 2020, the answer is that a smartphone is enough for an average person but for professional photographers, having a separate camera is necessary.
