If we take into account phones are like 500-1000$, and ever increasing in price, the mid range dslr/mirrorless slr-like (t7i/m50, xt30/xt3, d5600/5500, a6400/6300) is probably a more apt comparison than a 'point and shoot'/Camcorder; it'd be hands down better for both photo and video, but photo and video alone, nothing else that smartphone does. You would need a separate cpu from the cameras, probably software, and knowledge to process/edit the images or video, instead of the phones soc/apu doing it all for you at a basic level automatically.
Bitch, please.
You can change shutter speed on vsdo
Ofc they are. You literally cannot physically fit that lens into a f-in smartphone. There's no discussion here. No software adaptation can make up for the physical restrictions of a phone camera compared to an actual one.
Me: this video looks interesting, I’ll watch it
Intro: hey, I just gave you cancer!
The new generation of phone cameras with AI are becoming a very competitive alternatives to small cameras, e.g. P20 of Huawei with Leica lens. Sharp lenses with f/1.8 and f/1.6 performance. That means you have very good low light performance much better than small consumer cameras can ever dream of.
The AI is going one step further than the DSLR, it can detect what you are taking shot at and adapt the settings. Also you can shoot in RAW, and in the same time making digital adjustments with the phone. The 2 camera are able to make the bokeh effect, now even there are three cameras models. The bokeh effect is not produced in the same way, I think there are 2 pictures taken that have a different focus and those pictures are combined by the AI. The normal depth of field of phone cameras is very large because the sensor is very small. Right now that is a true revolution in the photography. All you need to do is to be creative.
However you pay the price. The small camera + cheaper smartphone is a very good alternative. Anyway now it is not about mass production, it is about customization, everyone can make his own customized choice. And no those cameras cannot replace pro level equipment because there are after all some physical limitations.
Does this still apply for the new Samsung phones with variable apature?
The smart phones have destroyed the market for point and shoot digital cameras.
That said many venues that prohibit the use of 'professional' cameras welcome photography with smartphones.
They disallow thr use of handheld devices used to steady the smartphone such as pistol grip smartphone mount.
Many smartphones have image stabilization mode for video and still photography, the use of a handheld mount isn't necessary.
What I like about shooting videos with my LG V20 is the ability to pause a recording. Many high end camcorders and DSLRs don't have that option. You have to stop and start recording which creates new files which need to me stitched together during post.
When you pause and resume a recording the same file is used eliminating the need stitch or merge multiple recording.
I understand the design behind multiple files. If you record a very long session and that big file becomes corrupted you've lost a lot of work. With smaller multiple files if one were corrupted you still have remaining files to work with.
okay a PHONE will never replace a DSLR camera EVER
Somewhere, you wrote blurry wrong.
Tunnel bear starts, video ends.
5:37 — Actually Samsung made cameras under its Galaxy brand, including the Galaxy NX which had a DSLR form factor.
@4:07 My camera has a lot of "boca"! 🙂
Are laptops still worth buying ? For that matter.
Phones are the quick fix option, handy for a sneaky shot in a cafe or on a train.
Creativity relies on more than, little tweaks.
Phone for selfies. Cameras for images.
why does this guy talk like the exercise clown from the VCR Peter Simmons whatever?That annoying voice kinda ruined it for me. No oence or anything just maybe try bringing down the gain on your dialog track sheesh! A bit overmodulated imo.
phone camera's are getting much better for most people, but as a professional photography when you need a lot of "optical zoom" NOT a "digital zoom" or even more lens features, in that term the camera phone sucks. I;m not talking about the compact cameras, but the DSLR or some pro high zooming cameras. In conclusion it is your choose weather you need just to shoot or you need a pro settings and/or zoom lens.
3:41 that is a Fujifilm camera (probably X-T2), not a Sony a6300 haha
I remember when first camera phones came, people often said it's complete vain. You don't need it.
This is why channels who don't know about photography shouldn't post this not even a clue about what he's talking about
the best camera you have is the one you have with you and that in most cases will be a smartphone. Mine is an old galaxy S7 which takes very good photos and video. I'd love to say my massive investment in Sony mirrorless cameras showed an equally increased quality. I think us decent camera owners hate to admit that smartphone cameras are as good as they are!. These phone cameras get better and better with each upgrade.
Smartphones will never catch up to professional cameras
when phones get 50X optical zoom, let me know.
Small Point and Shoot are dead, but Premium Compacts and Super Zooms will still be around for at least next 10 years.
