Cell phone DSLR ?
Jun 27, 2019 17:09:42 #
My wife has a Samsung Galaxy 10. She has no photography skills as far as a DSLR or how any of the settings are used. We went on a trip a while ago and she took a photo of a waterfall and the quality was excellent it looked as good as the picture I took with a Canon D6 after using Lightroom. She is out of town now and sent me a picture of our daughter standing by a bright window in a dark room and it looked like a professional photographer took it. I do not think I could have done it any better. She just uses the default settings on the phone. I know if her photos were blown up they would not compare in detail as a full frame camera. But some of these cell phone now have 12MP's. I am hearing talk about cell phones getting better and better and have aperture and shutter settings as well as a decent zoom. Do any of you all have similar situations on this topic? I am also including a link about buying a travel camera and how to select one that works best for someone it covers cell phones as well. I found it quite informative. I am stating to wonder if I should just buy an expensive cell phone going forward and take pictures with that. Lord knows my neck would feel better.

My wife, who would never before even consider carrying a camera, now produces remarkable, irreplaceable images of her grandkids with her iPhone8.
The phone camera naysayers are wrong.

Thank you for responding I was wondering if it was just me.
As an experiment, I had a 20” by 30” enlargement made by Costco of an image taken with my iPhone7.
The resolution and image quality remained totally acceptable. The argument to my wife that her iPhone images could not be enlarged as with my expensive DSLR’s, fell by the wayside.

Good to know.
How many pixels in the camera?
Wondering because my phone is 8Mp.

I don’t know the pixels. I have DSLR’s—- I don’t use the iPhone as a camera often; but I should.

I agree. My iPhone 8Plus does pretty well.

Join the club - my wife is a better photographer than me, too.

The biggest limitation of a phone camera is lenses followed by image sensor size and quality.
There's no reason why one can't take good photos with a phone camera. They are cameras.
A high end bridge camera will give you far more shooting options than a phone camera and more often than not, better image quality. But, most people taking photos with a phone camera have no intention of having them printed and only view the images on electronic screens.

There is a lot of smart-phone trashing that goes on here, but it's ridiculous. In situations where you don't need the creative controls of a DSLR, you can make excellent images with a phone, particularly the newer ones, which have excellent cameras. They also have digital imitations of controls like shutter speed and aperture, but they are only imitations. This is one I took with my ancient 12mpx iPhone SE.

You can have those pictures printed if you want to. You take a picture with a cell phone and can almost instantly share it. You and your audience are not going to anguish over whether it is a real picture. It is and they have moved on. You have shared what you saw.

A couple months ago there was a discussion on the site about telephone photography (such a rare subject, ha) wherein someone discussed a phone app called FV5. I downloaded the app (even got the pro version that had to be paid for, few bucks) which claimed to provide the controls of a DSLR to your phone and provide a DNG (raw) file. As of this point I am still experimenting with the app; however, it does provide additional controls and does yield a DNG file. At a minimum I am finding that the DNG file provides much better data for post processing.
Using a cell phone should not be a negative in that it has gotten more people involved in capturing images and it is certainly not necessary that every image must be printed or enlarged to cover a wall. I am finding that I use a combination of my DSLR (Nikon D610) or my Samsung Galaxy 7, depending on the circumstances. On a recent trip to the BVI's I chose to use the Galaxy due to the limitations of luggage for travel and storage space on the sailboat we were chartering. Could I have gotten better photos with my DLR, possibly; however, for the most part I was satisfied with the quality of photos and I was able to do some good post processing of the images.
So, as upset as I get with the constant rudeness of the masses continually shoving their cell phones in front of my lens, I do not view their activity as being less than my attempts to work with my DSLR. Hey folks, we are all simply attempting to capture a memory.
