Not bad tbh. Mobile phone cameras have come a long way, but I remain highly sceptical that they will completely replace standalone cameras, as Sony has claimed.

    I mean they have sort of replaced basic point and shoot cameras. I used to always have one of those but now there’s not much point if you have a decent phone camera.

      Yeah you’re right they’ve definitely wrecked the compact camera market, largely because it’s hugely more convenient to carry only one object I suppose. Still, Sony has made some pretty wild claims about smartphone cameras replacing ‘dslr’s’ (whatever that means in 2023) which I think are unlikely to pan out

    Completely? No. Practically? Yes, as your photo shows. It’s good enough for 95+% of the population. There’s a reason why the camera industry went from 100m units annually to like 8-10 million units.

    It’s replaced cameras because you always have it on you, can’t be said with a camera. It’s good enough for like 95% of the population, so you’re really buying an extra device for better photo quality that doesn’t benefit most people.

    they won’t replace special-purpose standalone ones because different geometries will always be necessary

      Yup just the regular camera app. 13 pro on the wide lens. I’ve tried using halide, but found it a bit slow and buggy on the whole unfortunately.

          Apple has cooked up an AI that automatically “enhances” your pictures. In many cases that mean grainy, overexposed pics with strangely cool and flat colors. I took a picture of myself and it looked like a restored painting of Jesus

    Phone cameras replaced the Sony and Nikon little handheld cameras you’d get for vacation. The only way a “professional” would use a phone for shooting is if it was purpose build, which would essentially just be a camera with phone capabilities.
