Just another one of those magical days in Cape Town that remind me why it is that I have never gone to live anywhere else.
“As a portable camera, there is not much that beats the iPhone. Even the larger Nokia or Samsung phones don’t have the color reproduction or depth of field accuracy. I don’t believe that this is an opinion, but rather from actual comparisons of images taken by the various devices in real world scenarios. Now if they could catch up some of the other areas of the OS, everyone could be happy :-)”
August 2022 –
12 years later and an iPhone is still an amazing camera in your pocket. This image was taken in February 2013 and holds up pretty well 9 years later. The evolution of mobile phone cameras has been amazing, and the technology has also moved into physical cameras – allowing incredible technological advances to digital SLR’s to ‘keep up’ with consumers’ ever moving requirements.
A phone will never be as good as a ‘proper’ camera for many reasons, but I still stand by the old adage of (loosely quoted) ‘the best camera is the one you have with you’.
