will camera phones replace dslrs

 

The cameras on smartphones are so good, they rival point and shoot cameras, much less DSLRs.

Do you need a cheap, compact camera that can fit in your pocket? A camera with a great zoom lens for getting close-ups of far away objects, or capturing the hustle and bustle of the street from across the way? A digital SLR camera may be overkill.

Sophisticated smartphone cameras also have increasingly sophisticated image sensors for better low light performance and high-resolution video recording.

With their decent lenses and large sensors capable of picking up more light than traditional cell phone cameras, it really is no contest. Smartphone cameras are now capable of truly excellent photos and videos.

Now many photographers are seriously considering a new kind of camera phone: one that would replace their digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras, not just as an additional digital back-up.

Smartphone companies are taking notice. The latest iPhones and Droids offer some of the best hardware for photography, with high-resolution 8MP or 10MP sensors and fast lenses.

They also often offer video stabilization, higher frame rates and better resolutions than today's low-end point-and-shoot cameras (the iPhone 4S tops out at 1080p).

 Samsung is even offering an optional laser autofocus system though most other smartphones use cheaper contrast detection systems. Can you believe it? Point and shoot cameras were just a fad, now every phone has a built-in camera.

And they boast advanced features, too: wide aperture settings, constant autofocus, optical zoom capability, and "HDR" photography.

More importantly these days is the inclusion of an LED flash that can illuminate your shots in dark environments.

These features alone make most camera phones superior to last generation point and shoots. But there are also key distinctions that separate even the best cell phone cameras from DSLRs like high quality optics or the ability to attach external lenses and flashes — things you'll find on most digital single lens reflexes.

With that said, I think it's time we had a serious discussion about whether camera phones will replace their burly tech relatives.

 Camera phones may have great features, but they're still not as good as DSLRs in many respects. Here are a few reasons why:

And here are a few other cell phone-centric arguments:

1) The best camera you can always find is the one you have with you, which is why most people prefer to leave their DSLR at home and take out their cell phone instead.

2) Digital photography can capture far more detail than any camera phone. You can't buy the same quality or detail at 16 megapixels as with a digital single-lens-reflex (DSLR).

3) These days, many cell phones have better photo quality than their larger counterparts. In fact, many cameras that use expensive interchangeable lenses.

What it comes down to is the number of megapixels you get for your money.

With that out of the way, I can now turn to your experiences with this technology as a whole.
