>Are you shooting in raw and editing your photos?
Yep, I do the whole works. All of them in RAW, spending an hour or so editing in Lightroom (with favorite presets), have a flickr (like every other DSLR owner). But it stopped being fun after seeing that so many people do the same 'artistic' stuff, it doesn't feel like I'm doing something 'worthwhile' anymore. Now I just want to take photos and videos with friends. I find them more important.
I used to care about the right focus, shutter speed etc. But with a phone, if you use the portrait mode, you get something like f/1.5, and if you don't, you get something like f/18. So that almost takes care of the focus problem for a lot of cases.
When it comes to shutter speed, I use the high shutter speed when there are faster moving objects. That's a problem with a phone, but with enough photos taken quickly, one of them usually turns out good. People use low shutter speed only for long exposure shots like nightsky, waterflow, etc. which isn't a 'normal' photo.
Low light is one place I guess where a phone can't exactly do as well, but as I said, it just needs to be good enough, and not perfect.
About the battery of DSLR, often I don't take it out anymore, and between uses, the battery is so low that I have to charge it. So it leave it, and next time, its pretty much dead. Poor maintenance, but it again ties into if it is worth it.
- ghaff 9y agoI still shoot with interchangeable lens cameras (both Fujifilm and Canon) but I do use my iPhone more and more of the time. On a recent trip to Europe, I had both my Fujifilm with a couple of lenses and my iPhone X. Looking through my photos on Flickr, there are some that I obviously took with the XE-3 given the low light conditions. But for many of the rest of my edited/curated photos, I couldn't have told you which camera I used without looking at the metadata. Probably if I blew things up big enough and really examined the fine detail, but not with casual viewing at normal sizes.
