Which Is Better, Smartphones Or Digital Cameras?
by Mike Thompson
When smartphones first arrived on the market, it caused a huge stir in the digital camera market and for those with digital cameras. Among the most famous photo sharing websites, Flickr has released results of their members camera preferences. It has shown that its members prefer the Apple iPhone 4S, the Apple iPhone 5 followed by the Apple iPhone 4.
Although it seems as if smartphones have replaced the need to ever need a digital camera, there are many reasons why people are still buying them. The very first and obvious factor is image quality. A low-light photo test against the Apple iPhone 5, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Canon Powershot G15 shows that the digital camera is the clear winner.
Unlike a smartphone, you will also be able to take clear pictures from afar since you will have a bigger zoom with a digital camera. There are other advantages too, such as better white balance, metering and subject tracking. You can even crop a 300 percent zoom of a photo taken by a digital camera and can use that to flaunt yourself, or others, on social networks like Instagram or Facebook because the photo quality is still good at this zoom level. On a smartphone, this is simply impossible.
You also have to take into account of the fact that your smartphone is still really just a phone that happens to be fairly versatile and that taking lots of photos can be a cause of a massive battery drain. You definitely don't want to be struggling to be making a phone call or a text message later on because of this.
In fact, the camera giants have stepped up their game as well in response to the rising smartphone market. There is a new breed of so called 'smart cameras' that incorporate the ability to wirelessly share photos from your digital camera to online social networks.
To illustrate this, Canon has recently released their latest digital camera model called the Powershot N. This tiny, square-shaped digital camera looks and feels like a smartphone but has the same shooting power as a digital camera, has Instagram-like filters and also has Wi-Fi built into for all your social sharing needs.
Compact digital cameras in general are becoming more and more powerful as even these kinds of cameras have quality that can rival the more sophisticated DSLR range of their own respectively brands. The latest Nikon Coolpix A has the same 16.1 megapixel sensor as the <a href='http://digitalcamerabundlereviews.com/nikon-d7000-bundle-review'>Nikon D7100</a> DSLR and has the same image processor as the older Nikon D7000.
In the end, smartphones should not be dismissed as totally inferior to digital cameras. It just depends on what you want from these cameras. Would you take pictures to only just share photos with others? In this case, you would be better off with a smartphone. Would you take pictures because you would like them to be picture-perfect? In this case, you would be more satisfied with a digital camera.
The best compromise between these two is to think of it this way - smartphones should be complementary to digital cameras rather than replacements.
