Besides my essential tremor, which makes it hard for me to hold and stabilize a cell phone camera, I find another drawback when shooting out of doors: the glare on the screen prevents me from seeing and properly framing my intended image. Think I will stick to my DSLR and save the Android camera for casual indoor snaps.
Some phones have stabilization, if that's holding you back. I agree with you about the screen being a problem in bright light. It's also very hard to read a book on the screen at the beach.

Exactly right. Good points. I had been thinking about controlling depth of field. At least with a DSLR you can get shallow depth of field for portrait effect. Let's see a phone do what a DSLR or mirrorless can do with an 85mm f/1.4 lens.

I wear glasses and went from the D3300 to the D7500 and have no regrets. The photos out of the D7500 blow away the D3300 using the lens that I had from the D3300. I had also considered the D500 but decided I didn't need the extra zoom points or extra weight. The weight was the deciding factor.
Thanks for the reply. I should just try to use one first.

I have been thinking of getting either one of these cameras as a replacement for my 3100. I wear glasses and the thing holding me back is the low eye point. Otherwise, I would probably get the 7500. I don't have a second memory slot now, have never needed it. I think the actual gains offset the hypothetical loss of not having a second card slot.

One method no one mentioned is to focus using BBF and then take finger off and reframe on a still subjext and when you shoot, the camera does not refocus. You can reframe in rapid succession without needing to move the focus point. If you use shutter button for focus, you would need to move the focus point
In liveview and face tracking this is not an issue of course....mirrorless cameras ditto.

When I use BBF and AF-C to focus, but release the button to recompose, the shutter frequently does not fire. Am I missing something?
The camera is a D3100.

I have not seen any mention of what focus point areas are best with AF-C, especially for moving subjects. Any thoughts?

I still have the Canon F1 I bought in '73. I also have the speed finder which became a permanent fixture. Unlike the contemporary Nikon F, the viewfinder could be changed without losing the metering.
