Why I only use an iPhone and not a ‘real’ camera anymore
Ever since the early days of the iPhone, I've been using it as my camera instead of 'real' cameras, here's why. The post Why I only use an iPhone and not a ‘real’ camera anymore appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
The author, Craig Grannell, switched from using traditional cameras to an iPhone as their primary means of photography. He initially started taking photos with the iPhone 3G and noticed a decline in image quality compared to his earlier photos taken with Nikons, Pentaxes, and Canons. Grannell acknowledges that the early iPhone photos have lower quality, but he has no regrets because those are the only photos he has due to his iPhone.
The author credits the constant presence of the iPhone in his pocket for consistently capturing life's moments, resulting in a treasure trove of heartwarming videos of his late dog and snapshots of his growing daughter. Today, Grannell owns an iPhone 16 Pro, which boasts a 48MP main camera, macro mode, dedicated Camera Control button, 5x zoom, speedy cloud sync, and increasingly impressive apps.
He considers it an amateur photographer's dream, demonstrating that modern iPhones can take high-quality photos that can withstand the test of time. Although more powerful cameras exist, Grannell believes his iPhone does a great job in capturing photos with sufficient resolution, dynamic range, and detail. While he remains skeptical about the long-term quality of his iPhone photos compared to those from more advanced cameras, he is satisfied with the current capabilities of his device for his photography needs.
