Cell Phone's are horrible cameras?!?

I agree fully with you on this one. On most downloaded shots I'm able to magnify the shot. On this one I can't. I'm sure if one could, one would see the obvious weakness of the cell phone camera.

My humble opinion, it's ok, nothing special but ok.
The reason smartphone photography has outpaced dedicated digital camera photography is, for the most part the images will reside in and be viewed on cell phone screens and small computer monitors.
You can get really nice images with today's smart phones but they won't match the IQ of a good dedicated digital camera.

Sony and Apple are supposed to be talking about new sensors (multi-sensor phone) for an upcoming I-phone, should be interesting to see what they come up with, although I imagine the price will be up there near the cloud...

I call them camera/phones. If you’re into sharing pics online, they can’t be beat. Check out Emil Pakarklis on YouTube to see what an iPhone can do. Then combine that with the Snapseed app for editing and you’d be quite impressed with their capability. They certainly have their niche in the photography world, easy to carry, easy to use, lots of features, decent quality.

Just don't blow up the shots.

Right, not too much anyway. Depending on subject you might be able to go with a relatively large print but I don’t print much. For viewing on a screen and sharing online they’re pretty damn convenitent.

That's actually a pretty nice photo, all things considered. Not to hijack the thread, but here's a shot of a mushroom I took in my backyard, with my iPhone 8 Plus. I thought it turned out well.

Why camera sales are dropping? This photo was taken by my sister-in-law with her iPhone, of my brother as he used his Olympus taking photos of the sunset lit beach. Taken today near Ventura, California following a morning thunderstorm.

I agree. Plus even a bridge camera can freeze exposure and focus. I do not believe a phone can do that.

Actually, cell phones can lock both exposure and focus. This is one of the many features I recently discovered by watching YouTube videos.

There is the "camera" that comes with the phone, that works differently than another camera app, like Camera FV-5.

WOW I just researched this. I followed the first set of instructions and held the shutter button and clicked off 96 photos... not good. The next one said to put finger on the screen and hold. It worked . a tag came up saying AE and AF were locked.
Thanks.
Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks. Now I can throw out all my other cameras....
Just kidding.

I have a moto g6 and it takes great HDR photos. They way I look at it great to take shots that present themselves when I don't have my camera. I can still put them on a disc and watch on the big screen.

No prejudice against phone photos either. At 74, I take very few photos with my phone. I don't think I have even one photo pic of landscape. Just something about the real thing (Lumix fz1000) that makes me feel good.
