The quote wasn’t from an amateur photographer and most of my point was based on the quote being from a pro photographer. For an amateur, they will usually get better photos with a currentish iPhone than they likely would a dSLR. But a pro photographer should know how to squeeze the most they can out of a dSLR. Not to say they can’t get a great photo out of an iPhone too, just they are more guaranteed to get it with the dSLR and right set of lenses.
- Someone 8y agoI wasn’t around at the time, but I think people argued the same when 35mm analog cameras were the new kid on the block. Cameras using larger film still have their use, but eventually, they almost only were used for studio work. Having interchangeable lenses may save them, but it wouldn’t surprise me if DSLRs went the same way viz camera phones. Reason: if processor speed keeps going up, there’s a lot one can do to counteract the disadvantages of having a device only a few millimeters thick.
