(Following on Gruber's examination of the camera lenses on the XS)
I have a full-size mirrorless camera with interchangeable lens (Sony alpha-5000), and I love it. I usually import all pictures I take with it to Photos, and you can immediately tell if a picture was taken with it or with my current iPhone 7 (no surprise).
But here's the catch: I understand many principles of photography, but I'm no professional photographer. I try to make adjustments to focal distance, aperture, manual focus, and etc when taking pictures, but the results are usually not good (it's all fun though, especially when you get it just right).
Therefore, even when I take my camera with me, I will still snap pictures with my phone because the balance between how easy it is vs the quality of the product really favours smartphones. And it only gets exponentially harder with difficult light conditions (overcast skies, moving vehicles, etc). I've ordered a XS despite the high price but I'm really looking forward to using its camera and comparing it with my Sony camera.
- nobrains 8y agoI use something in the middle of a mirrorless interchangeable lens and a smart phone camera. The Sony RX100. Because of the lack of too many manual controls, its a good point and shoot, and because of the large sensor size, the photos are better than current best-camera smartphones. Thats the next target for smart phones.
